I paid £20 in uk ebay for boxed with manual. The cart was shrink wrapped with the internal box and manual and was new, guess the box had been out on display for a while as it is a little worn.
Plays and saves fine, top game, buy it.

Okay I will…..Oh and is there a link cable for the Virtual Boy?

I’ve paid about 25 euro with Manual but no Box. This Game is one of my favorites for the VB. If I had no , I would pay up to 40-50 euro to get it.

No… there’s no official link cable, and no official games use the link cable. I’ve used the link port in several simple homebrew games/apps/demos, and others probably have as well… hopefully the link will be used more in the future, but so far, nothing has been impressive enough for anyone to create a link cable for others to use (I just use a hacked connector with a network cable).

But don’t they say in the commercials that Mario Tennis has two player?

Not that I remember… do you have a link to one that does? If you look in the graphics of Mario’s Tennis, there is 2P graphics, but I haven’t figured out a way to actually play 2P (it’s not natively supported, as there’s no 2P options w/ a link cable hooked up). The only game I know that advertised 2P was Virtual League Baseball (in a magazine ad), but I haven’t found any reason to believe that it actually made it into the release (and the box didn’t say it supported 2P).

Actually right here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKKK6FH1vGw it says “play singles or doubles in either one or two player mode”

Ah… yeah… I think that was an early ad, so that was probably from before they canned the link cable.

Someone should make a third party link cable
