Bound High : New Virtual Boy game release!

[TrolleyDave]

Bound High (???????!?) is a cancelled game for the Virtual Boy consists on manuveuring Chalvo, a robot that can roll itself up into a bouncing ball, around a series of levels while avoiding various hazards. Bound High would have been the first second-generation game for the Virtual Boy, but the poor sales of the console caused to be put on hold numerous times before eventually being cancelled altogether. Of all the cancelled Virtual Boy games, Bound High was the closest to completion. Bound High was exhibited in Shoshinkai at Famicon Space World in 1995. Bound High was exhibited in the "Symbolic Zone" which was a special exhibition area for outstanding titles on about ten Virtual Boy units. Hiroshi Yamauchi, the president of Nintendo at the time, mentioned Bound High as the most promising Virtual Boy title in his keynote speech.

Awesome, so there's still interest in old flops as the Virtual Boy...

That reminds me, wasn't there a NES game released a little while ago too?

Gosh, that's pretty neat.

The 3DS, along with this news, has gotten me interested in the Virtual Boy again.

Time to waste time and money finding one for sale!

There was a few things released quite a while ago but I don't remember seeing anything in the last couple of months. Do you know what they were? I'll hunt them down if you can remember!

Oh, I think I read a thread here somewhere that there was a new NES game released. The first to be released in a couple of decades. Might be in USN, I'll take a look.
