Thanks guys. We’re getting close to the 25 sold that will be going out in the first batch. Can’t wait for everyone to get them!

Close to 25 CIBs sold. That’ll be the first batch going out in about 2 weeks. Get excited.

Then the following 25 will be shortly after.

ALSO.

If you’d like to add on a label to your order it’s 3 extra dollars. Just send it to the same PM address if you’d still like the box/manual/label combo.

Thanks! Vince

I’d totally nab this if I wasn’t trying to finish my Wii-U payment. I hope all the pre-orders don’t go out before I can get in line!

Well, Wii-U is way more important that this. I tried it at e3 this year and it was a lot of fun. The Luigi Mansion game was tons of fun. Only downfall I’d guess is you’d need a bunch of friends to play it always!

No update on the sticker?

Update on Stickers!

They will be available for those that have already placed their order for box/manual. And for those that just want the label. I originally didn’t know we’d be doing this as a full on release. It’s just determining a price for them now. Should only add a few bucks to the order.

Hello,
I already have Bound High! and am only interested in the box, manual, inlay, and inserts, is that possible? What would you ask for that?

How do you plan on shipping? What packaging materials are you going to use?

You’re more than welcome to buy the box and manual. If you’d like to preorder that would be preferred. They will be shipped flat in a cardboard mailer. Very secure. As far as the inlays and inserts that will currently only be available if you buy the Complete game.

great to see this being done. i already have a game and box, but would like to get a manual to complete my set. what does the manual consist of? how many pages is it and could you make the file available for those able to print it themselves?

the box art has obviousy been made public, it would befit the spirit of the vb community to release the manual in the same way as whoever made the box art.

You’re more than welcome to purchase the manual only for 12 dollars plus shipping from my website in a few weeks. The manual is 12 pages. It is an updated version of the one you can get from here with lots of fixes to it. The front and back cover are completely redone to fit with the VB style more.

The box itself is completely redone minus the front graphic. The front graphic will match the label you currently have, but the background of everything is as close as humanly possibly to the actual VB style as compared to the other one available for download here. You can see the box above.

Hope that helps!

OK, lets say I already ordered the Box combo here but would prefer to get the complete package including the card. Should I cancel the order now and order again in the new thread?

If you’ve already paid for a box and manual and want a cart, we will just figure out the difference. It won’t be a problem. We’re figuring it all out now. But if you paid for the manual/box you can tack on a cart no problem and get it CIB.

Thanks for your concern on this! I double checked the Galactic Pinball box I have and it opens from the front like I have shown. Looking on ebay I can’t find one that opens the other way.

Thanks!

Hey Uncle Tusker,

I noticed that the top flap on your Bound High box, which you posted earlier on the forum, extends from the back of the box. I don’t have an official Virtual Boy box with me as I write this at my workplace, but I am almost 100% sure that official Virtual Boy boxes have the top flap extending from the front of the box. Was this change unintentional? If so, there should still be sufficient time before the printing to make the top flap extend from the front of the box.

I have a question concerning the inside of the box; will there be an area made to hold the cartridge?
Or will the prints be of the box “shell” only?

A very good question. I was wondering that as well. Also, if you are producing the inlays for the boxes (like you do for the SNES boxes) are you going to sell them separately?

The box inside will be like any other VB box, empty. I will try and make up some inlays, but I doubt I’ll have any done any time soon. Is there a big interest for inlays?

I like your work UncleTusker and think that your doing a really good job. However that being said I’m curious why Nintendo never made a cross-eye 3d image of the screen on the back of the box or even a 3d sticker hologram for the screen shot. They may of had more takers if they would of tried this approach.>B

That does sound awesome. I’m not sure I’ll be doing any modding to the original design now, but definitely cool to keep in mind for the homebrew games!

I’m just making sure I didn’t screw anything up that I don’t know about VB games. I’m an NES collector. I’m very confident in this design. The world is what was designed by someone else. I’m not sure who. But I touched up the color a little bit and used it.

That’s all. Small grammar errors and what not.

I was the original designer.

Does that mean I get a free box?

My original box shape was based on an actual Virtual Boy game box that I had at my desk at the time. Your cut/fold paths are different from what I had — did you use a Gameboy Advance box as your starting point?

I recreated the shape using an actual VB game I have. Galactic Pinball. It is as exact as possible I could get to the original. Your cornering was slightly off. Not a big deal. I just want it to perfectly match. I recreated all the side graphics from your design and re did the back and all wordings. Redid all the background to match the actual boxes. All that’s yours is the front design. If enough people get one I have no problem sending you copy. I understand your work and effort. PM your address.

Great idea! Is there a full list of these games?

Just contact me with thoughts on what you all think would be best to do. Or post here. I check her periodically now. I have so many fond memories of the VB.

For a long time, I have wanted a special cartridge, box, and instruction booklet for Krisse’s 3 games, so BLOX, BLOX 2, and VUE Snake. I already got a special box and cartridge for VUE Snake for my latest birthday, but I know it’s not “official,” so I’d want official ones and a manual would be cool, too. I also know that BLOX 2 has problems with the save function on hardware, which needs to be fixed before it can be released as a cartridge.

Nevertheless, I propose these 3 games as the first homebrew games to be on the radar for manual and box releases. I know Krisse is busy and might not have time lately to design instruction booklets or boxes for these right now, but I throw my wishes out there anyway. 🙂

What games are highly available on cartridges right now? Those would be the ones I’d love to do first. To see how it goes from here. I’ll contact Krisse.

You’re just chalk full of these metaphors aren’t you? Just like a teacher!

Thanks for the clarification UncleTusk – you’ve got a good reputation so please rest assured I wasn’t slamming anyone’s intentions, just wanted to pose the question to cear up a few misconceptions that could have been floating around etc.

I totally understand your worries. I worry the same thing about game boxes and bad people. I get emails weekly asking for repro boxes of actual games that are rare. “but it’s for my collection” haha. Yeah right.

Tusk.

When you say other repros – what do you have in mind? I thought repros had stoppped now?

I think he meant other released cartridges of Virtual Boy games, instead of reproductions of commercially released games. Richard only said that no more reproductions of commercial games, whether officially released or not, will be made by him. All homebrew titles are open game, however, just as long as the creator of each game allows carts of the game to be made, and thus, also boxes and/or instruction booklets to go along with them.

Also, I know for a fact that Richard isn’t the only one on this site who knows how to make reproduction carts of Virtual Boy games. If another capable person decides to take on the task, reproduction carts could still be made.

Exactly.

I do not plan to ever make a box that you could readily just buy for x amount of cash. I’d only make boxes and manuals for new homebrew games or old ones if there’s enough interest. This Bound High box and manual is an experiment in itself to see if there’s enough interest for it. It seems to be going well. I’m looking forward to doing lots of these. Ive had enough people come and ask me to do this, that I finally was like. It’s Time! haha. so, here we are.

So, if you guys ever want anything, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

I’m going to correct the misspelling. Thanks for pointing that out.

Alright, you’re in!
