Let me show you STAGE 1-3 of game.

Level start and I push select button and map appear on screen. I push start button here and game stop and I make photograph. See picture 1.

I also make drawing of map screen. See picture 2.

I start in down right place of big room and my happy face character look up screen at level start. See drawing I make of map screen. It show my happy face character start place and start direction and enemys start places also. STAGE 1-3 have 2 enemys. Enemys names is HYDRA and HYDRA. STAGE 1-3 have new type wall panel. There is wall panel that become light red and become less light red and become light red and become less light red continuous. New type wall panel break if I shoot. See drawing I make of map screen. I make new type wall panel gray color. But see photograph of game screen map. New type wall panel of game screen map no look diferent. I make new type wall panel look diferent on drawing so you can see all wall panel that I can break if shoot. But wall panel that can break no look diferent on game screen map than red wall panel that no can break.

Now I push left botton on left crosskey and left botton on right crosskey at same time and I move in left direction and look up screen at same time. I look at wall panel that I can break if shoot and have enemy behind. See photograph I make. I keep map on game screen so you can see me in big room.

I shoot ball to wall panel.

Wall panel break and I see HYDRA. HYDRA shoot many balls to me fast. Let me explain how HYDRA attack. When I find HYDRA he no move. He stay in same place. He shoot many balls in many directions also. But direction number have limit. I can find many places where he never shoot and I never get hit by ball if I no move. If I shoot HYDRA 1 time he rush to me in strait line and I get hit if I no move and I get hit if I no shoot HYDRA again. Then HYDRA stop and no move and shoot many balls in many directions again. If I get hit by ball HYDRA move small distance in any direction and stop again and no move again and shoot many balls in many directions again also. If I shoot HYDRA 2 times he explode.

I move close to HYDRA and push start button and stop game and I make photograph so you can see HYDRA good. HYDRA hit me with balls when I do this and he move small distance each time.

I shoot HYDRA 2 times and HYDRA die and he drop new special item. This is shield special item. I no use shield special item now. I keep for use in future.

After I pick up shield I shoot wall panel in front of me and I move in small room and I turn to right and I shoot wall panel. Now I see other HYDRA enemy and I shoot HYDRA 2 times and he die. Now I see screen say STAGE 1 3 CLEARED !! and I get score.

Time clock at level end show 73 seconds. 1 second give me 100 points so I get score 7300. HYDRA give me 120 points and I kill 2 HYDRA so I get score 240. Total score at bottom screen say 7540. Like I say NikoChan Battle game only give score on one level so STAGE 1-1 score I no see again and STAGE 1-2 score I no see again and no add to STAGE 1-3 score.

I go to STAGE 1-4 and I have shield special item. If first I kill up right HYDRA of STAGE 1-3 he no drop special item. If second I kill down left HYDRA of STAGE 1-3 he drop shield special item but I no can pick up shield special item becausa score screen appear very fast after he die and I no can move when score screen appear. Up right HYDRA never have special item. Down left HYDRA ever have shield special item.

Let me show you STAGE 1-4 of game.

Level start and I push select button and map appear on screen. I push start button here and game stop and I make photograph. See picture 1.

I also make drawing of map screen. See picture 2.

I start in down center place of room and my happy face character look up screen at level start. See drawing I make of map screen. It show my happy face character start place and start direction and enemys start places also. STAGE 1-4 have 2 enemys. Enemys names is GHOST and GHOST. STAGE 1-4 have new type wall panel. There is wall panel that I can see thru but I no can break if I shoot. It is like bullet-proof glass or ball-proof glass ha ha. See drawing I make of map screen. I make new type wall panel light blue color. But see photograph of game screen map. New type wall panel of game screen map no look diferent. I make new type wall panel look diferent on drawing so you can see all wall panel that I can see thru. But wall panel that I can see thru no look diferent on game screen map than red wall panel that I no can see thru.

Now I push start button and I can move again. I turn to right and I move in hallway. See photograph I make. I keep map on game screen so you can see me in big room.

I push select button and game screen map disappear. I walk round wall and turn to left and I can see ball-proof wall panels that I can see thru.

I walk more in hallway and I come to GHOST enemy in up right place of level and he rush to me and try hit me with body. That is how GHOST attack. He never shoot ball to me but he rush to me and try hit me with body continuos. I push down button on left crosskey and move in behind direction and look at GHOST at same time. He come very close to me and I push start button and game stop and I make photograph so you can see GHOST good.

I shoot GHOST 2 times and he die. Ghost in up right place of level ever drop speed up special item when he die. I no want speed up special item and I want keep shield special item so I walk in hallway in bottom part of level to meet other GHOST enemy and no pick up speed up special item.

I come to other GHOST enemy and shoot him 2 times and he die also. GHOST in up left place of level never drop special item. Now I see screen say STAGE 1 4 CLEARED !! and I get score.

Time clock at level end show 73 seconds. 1 second give me 100 points so I get score 7300. GHOST give me 130 points and I kill 2 GHOST so I get score 260. Total score at bottom screen say 7560.

I go to STAGE 1-5 and I have shield special item that I pick up on STAGE 1-3.

thank you for all of the information, keep it coming!

i’m curious to see exactly how much of this game was finished.

I make Virtual Boy Faceball (NikoChan Battle) Introduction video and put on YouTube. Watch video here:

Sorry. Video quality is no good. Maximum resolution of video camera is 320 by 240 and I use maximum resolution. I no can make beter video by my camera. You can hear music that play at game start good. You can look at early photographs I put on forum topic and see game screens that have beter resolution.

In video I push start button each time and I go to next game screen. After title screen appear I push b button 4 times and I go to game start again. I push start button each time and I go to next game screen again. I try show you menu picture of STAGE 1 and STAGE 2 and STAGE 3 and STAGE 4 of game but video quality is no good. Sorry.

Thanks again Mr G.

Thanks for uploading the intro. It’s cool to see how it looks.

It is very nice to be able to listen to some music from this game. I am definitely looking forward to seeing more videos of this game and hearing more music from this game, which will hopefully be posted online sometime down the road.

I sure wish that an owner of Zero Racers or Dragon Hopper or some other unreleased Virtual Boy game would post videos of the game online, even grainy videos for that matter. To me, something is much better than nothing. I would probably pay one hundred dollars just to watch someone else play through Dragon Hopper, etc., even if I myself could never play the game.

Wow, I really like the music!

I’m quite envious, Mr. G…I would love to be friends with the owner of this cart so I could play it!

Pretty cool video. I like how the stage select menu looks like. Must look even cooler in 3D.
