Griffon Jumper?

I think he was making refrence to the game based off of the movie Jumper. The game was called Jumper Griffin's Story, and was made on Wii and a few other consoles when the movie was new.

Oh, I thought he was joking about if employees from Nintendo (who have not thought much about the Virtual Boy lately) came up with a good idea to bring unreleased VB games to the 3DS, they would refer to one of the examples of an unreleased VB game they could put on there as "Griffon Jumper" when they really mean "Dragon Hopper", but they call it that because they have a cloudy memory of the 16+ year old console that didn't sell too well

Virtual Boy tribute in 3DS game

I don't own a 3DS so I have little knowledge of its eShop games but I heard from a friend that a game called Mutant Mudds (from the eShop) has a bonus level that is in tribute to the Virtual Boy; he says it is like a (fittingly red/black) platformer for the VB

Anyone in the PVB community play this game?

Well, my computer doesn't run videos too well so I took only a quick glimpse at it but I do know of the existence of a Metroid GBA SP but I was just making sure it was the same thing I knew of and not some even more super-rare sweepstakes item or something

I do like it, though

Oh boy! it must be some... odd rare prototype!

It has red buttons!

It looks like a bootleg knockoff Tamagotchi. The name Virtual Boy on it is just seems considential. In the late 90s when Tamagotchi became a big fad, there were a lot of knockoffs and I don't think they would have named it off of a failed video game system intentionally.

Nobody gets my silly sarcasm

So anybody want to take a wild guess on what "Virtual Boy Peaches" are? lol

Seller has no photos, zero feedback and with a name like "1500cashdaily1" I'm going to safely assume this is some bot.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Virtual-Boy-Peaches-/110806389381

Unreleased game prototype cart involving Princess Peach?

But anyways, I noticed after looking at his completed listings to see (out of curiosity) if he was only selling that or some other oddity; and he was selling a "New Maple Syrup Pan" (which didn't sell, unlike the Virtual Boy Peaches) which, in the description, it says "For you Peaches", so I'm guessing these listings were set up for someone who is being called Peaches!

Oddly enough, the feedback he (the seller) left to the guy that BOUGHT it from him was "Great seller, quick payment! Would do business again!"

Heck... I actually don't regard Virtual Lab as a "finished" game. Though it was officially released, there are many signs in it which indicate that the makers were truly rushed to get it to market and didn't get the game completed as they originally intended.

Or maybe Virtual Lab is the "shovelware" game of the VB world, like they just put together a shoddy made game to get quick money off of a new-ish system

I also have suspicion that jojobean may have Faceball (they never said they DIDN'T have access to it, they just said that they didn't say they did have access to it)
