Nintendo Virtual Boy Link Cable and Hyper Fighting (Street Fighter II) News
Since the secretive and somewhat controversial release of Virtual Boy Hyper Fighting (Street Fighter II), those lucky enough to have acquired 2 carts have sought to test out the 2-player versus mode. The Virtual Boy Link Cable project was originally re-inspired after an official prototype VB link cable was discovered. However, the process of bringing a working prototype to life has remained an DIY project until now. The newest person to pick up the project has publicly announced that the release of a working VB 2-player link cable is closer than we think. This news does come with a caveat, 2 carts are required for 2-player gaming. Thankfully this too may no longer be an issue as the creator of the FlashBoy [Richard Hutchinson] has just posted that a cart-only, 2nd printing of Virtual Boy Hyper Fighting is well in the works.
