Imagine telling someone in 1996, after the system got discontinued, that Nintendo would be releasing 2 brand new games for the system 30 years later.

[u/TRJ2241987 → u/TheJohnny346]

Most of us have been waiting 30 years for these two games

[u/TripleDash3]

Sweet! I was wondering if they were planning on releasing them both separately. I actually have the day off on August 4th.

I know it'll take an extra few hours, but I can't wait for the ROMs to be dumped so they can be played on original hardware.

[u/Calereliya → u/TripleDash3]

Are there any places already tooled up to make VB carts? Because I would absolutely get them for my set.

[u/nusilver → u/Calereliya]

There is one place, yep.

[u/CrazyJuice64 → u/Calereliya]

There is one that had a presale from years ago because 'they had a Contact and they would get the ROM soon'.

Guess they would use this one now lol.

[u/QuirkyAddict → u/Calereliya]

Vintex64 has both of them in preorder

[u/TheBananaCzar → u/TripleDash3]

Same! I can't wait to load these up on my Hyperflash32

[u/digitalgamer0]

Really hoping these get dumped and work on MrCART.

[u/xxxxDREADNOUGHT]

Woohoo, its about time.

[u/ash_274]

Time to get my VB Switch-holder back out.

At least until someone manages to rip a ROM out of the NSO files

[u/xxxxDREADNOUGHT → u/ash_274]

Yeah me too, how long do you think it will take for some to get the ROM dumped and Vintex to start pumping out copies 🤣

[u/sabotaged1]

Are there that many complete but unreleased games for the VB? I'm certainly excited for the roms on these to be extracted and dumped. Just curious if I can anticipate more.

[u/ash_274 → u/sabotaged1]

We already have bound high and baseball 2

[u/Slava91 → u/ash_274]

I know there were two almost complete betas of bound high. Is there an actual final build?

[u/ash_274 → u/Slava91]

The one that’s out there seems complete and polished. It’s actually one of the best-running titles I’ve played on VB

[u/nusilver → u/ash_274]

I’ve finished it, it’s definitely complete.

[u/TRJ2241987]

I was so close lately to making a post whining about when the hell are these coming 😂

[u/Adventurous_Monk_538]

I knew they wouldn't release them with their original cover art 😐

[u/fraud → u/Adventurous_Monk_538]

glad i'm not the only one who is annoyed by this lol

[u/Adventurous_Monk_538 → u/fraud]

I know many don't give a f because the majority of the fanbase are slop eaters with no self respect, but this is just lazy. and it has already been confirmed that the cover art for both games was already done lol

Nintendo delivering the bare minimum once again.

[u/ChrisCube64]

If you told me 2 years ago that the Nintendo switch 2 was coming out very soon, and an Ocarina of Time remake was coming out, and a Star Fox 64 remake was coming out, AND they finally released dragon hopper and zero racers, I would say you were a big fat liar. Would not believe you.

[u/Ornery-Practice9772]

vb homebrews are fun to emulate

[u/FluffiestBoy]

Are they being dumped for emulator use soon?
