It's so surreal that these games were finally released
Dragon Hopper is every bit as good as I always imagined it would be, and Zero Racers is great to have too!

They work. Two new Virtual Boy games in 2026. Weird.
The horizontal 3d is fun, not many games use this.
Technically, it's vertical I guess
Here's the most important thing.
Are they dumped so I can add them to my Red Viper collection?
Yes, it happened within an hour of them landing on NSO 👍
Good shit
@Fwow13 Virtual Boy Games? :blobcatthinkOwO:
I'm not sure what you're asking, but yes - these are Virtual Boy games (loaded on a couple of flash carts)
@Fwow13 aaah yes, that was actually what I was asking - Virtual Boy CARTRIDGES? :D cool!
Virtual Boy was cartridge based, these flash carts are cool because they have e-ink displays in them so that you can load custom label images to see what game you have flashed.
This is what an original cart looks like
Wow, I've never heard of a flash cartridge with e-ink display. That's awesome! Is Virtual Boy the only system with them? If not, where can they be found for purchase?
These specific Virtual Boy carts aren't being made any more, unfortunately. You can still find them for insane prices on eBay though.
At the time, I think these were the only ones that did something like this. Now, if you Google around I believe you can find a couple other projects out there for other systems that have some sort of display built into the cartridge so it can display a game label. Not sure how many are finished products you can buy, or how many are open source projects that you would need to DIY.
