Looks nice, I’d love to have one, but I personally find even half that BIN an insane price when TV out kits are already possible.

I meant to say – that other Intelligent Systems 3D or multiscreen capture kits indeed have that option for side by side screens, with various dipswitch settings and accompanying PC software, so I’d like to think that this does also.

I hate these skanky magnets, they completely spam up all the listings and I generally have to search
“______ -magnet -shirt -mug” and things like that to get around them, there are magnets for everything…

Nice to see that Mario Virtual Boy animatic for the first time! Looks like these that were produced for JP stores:

That wouldn’t be considered new and unused – if the serial numbers don’t match it means someone put a Like New box with a Like New Gameboy.

Some people want things sealed, which the US Gameboys were originally (JP were not), so while it should surely be worth the price you paid, I don’t think you’ll get $300 for it sadly.

I wouldn’t recommend resealing it – they’re easy to spot and it’ll lead to distrust and refunds.

Has there been any update on the likelihood of link cables becoming available? I’m very eager to order a couple soon as I can!

I sent him a note about other gaming systems, but yeah I think some prices are approaching double what they should be – especially for GumTree (basically CraigsList and all it’s risks).

I also prefer it – but I collect Japanese versions over the American versions, I find them much more interesting and original to be honest.

Right there in the first post buddy 🙂

Here’s the link:

– One small tidbit worth mentioning that I didn’t see called out so far – the game is totally playable, in fact i think it’s already mostly in English bar the title screen. I assume this boxed repro is using this translation:

Very nice example. I guess the big question people are essentially probing at is – are you intending to sell above face value?

Bah, don’t believe such nonsense! 😛

I’ve never seen tabs on VB games (but I only collect JP), did they definitely come with them?

Come to think of it, I’ve not seen sealed US VB games either..

Beat me to it haha 😛

It’s great that, he says “these games are great!”

Here’s the thing – I get why a CIB release is not part and why it is not offered – all sorts of advantages to that.

However, you’re missing out in the ‘no-brainer’ impulse factor that having a CIB in there would bring.
More people would back it because it is almost no risk, you’ll have lots of resellers wanting in of course if you do (which has both pros and cons I should note).

I would support with $100 without a CIB, but at least double that if there was a CIB, but it would need to be a genuine target (albeit not a certified promise) from the start.

If you know that your captive audience is relatively low in numbers, then you need to receive as much investment as possible form each individual, and a CIB target release (at least a soft-promise) is the most direct way to go.

I thought this was a registry for various 2015 projects and their respective threads?

I wish more people realised that sticking something in a case with a sticker doesn’t increase the value 1000%

That’s right in terms of asking prices for VGA-graded items, but it’s also right in that it’s stupidly overpriced – because all VGA-graded items are stupidly overpriced.

You could get a brand new stock unplayed JP VB on eBay easily for 20% of that cost.

Welcome! A new old stock unit is going to cost mega bucks.

I bought a like new boxed JP model 3 years back for about £150 with some game sand shipping etc – but there are definitely cheaper options.

Well, it’s not a Nintendo console at heart – it IS a Nintendo console, however over the years it’s always been the ugly child, always hidden at the back as a reminder of fragility.

So that’s what it means, it signals that the company are being a bit more accepting of the VB, on a system where the pros (and cons) are more obvious and relative.

Given the question has been asked about VB games on the Virtual Console before – this will be seen as a hint, and therefore Nintendo knowing this (and still including it) is a positive sign, albeit a small one.

So, I was never suggesting it shouldn’t be included – only that it is interesting that it’s included.

What do you mean by any UK game? Any modern or retro games from the UK generally? Or is UK an abbreviation for something else?

Figured I’d ask, I hope I’m not missing something obvious.

Thanks Ben, it went for about 6000 yen in the end, HoMenace did you manage to win it? I won some of the other flyers, 4 I think.

I spy an Image 3D / View Master (the littlew red binoculars looking thing), I have one also 😀

Can I ask what is on the blank SNES/SFC-looking cartridge by the stack of VB games?
