I was part of this scene when HF was released for the VB. The letter Ben published to PlanetVB was not 100% truthful. The way it happened was that a project was posted to PlanetVB and the devs fighting engine was discussed. Ben contacted the person and he was able to get in touch with the dev (although it kinda makes sense that MK is acutally Mr. Anon, after reading his ROM hacking posts and coding posts). It was from there that they started to build Street Fighter for the Virtual Boy. When the game started to reach a playable status, Ben reached out to key members of PlanetVB to release a physical cart. That's correct, Ben was 100% involved from the beginning with its planning and release! It was told to me that he planned to get back some of his investment. Due to a fear of Capcom coming after him (and probably the back-lash from the VB community over this game), he has never admitted this to the public. During this time I was in daily contact with 1 of the people who supplied the CIB release. I was also in contact with the person who created the board for the CIB release. Both have confirmed that the intentions from the start were to release a CIB copy for sale. In fact, the dev received a kickback from each cart sold by these key members of PlanetVB. This is why the cost of each CIB HF release was $125 and not the $55-75 of previous releases (from the same people). The way you are reporting this story is out of order and incorrect, but I blame the letter Ben posted to PlanetVB. While his letter brings the conspiracy to a close, it was untruthful and paints an incorrect picture. HF caused a lot of issues among the VB community. It is directly related to this game and some personal issues with those who would come next, that Richard left the scene and no longer produces the FlashBoy+. I own two original (1st run) CIB copies of HF and a VB link cable. I purchased the CIB copies directly from those involved off the initial 'pre-order list'. These were the same people who privately shared with me many truths about this games development. Ben's words are not honest and you should not consider his post the true 'history' of this game!
Gray episode, Jenovi. The Street Fighter part was particularly fascinating.
.... More like a red episode.
Your videos are always so good and so informative. The VB is my #2 favorite system and I really enjoy seeing you cover it!
Thanks for checking it out. The VB is a very cool piece of hardware with some great games. It's easy to see why so many people have it high on their list of favorites.
Fucking love this series. More virtual boy content please. It’s such an intriguing system with a unique history and identity. Keep up the good work, I’m a huge fan of your channel.
Thanks! Sad news, I think there's only one episode left in the Unreleased Virtual Boy series.
Jenovi That’s not sad news at all! I thought this was the last one lol I’m hyped for the next episode. Can’t freaking wait!!
Thanks Jenovi. I love the unreleased game lists you do. Keep up the great content!
Thanks for the support. More on the way.
After watching your video and reviewing the circumstances you mentioned, I'm going to *politely* disagree with the decision to still not dump the (SFII) rom somewhere. I'd think there are ways for the guy to distance himself adequately and aid in leaking, but what do I know. Yeah, it is upsetting.
Great job on the video/series.
Thanks! Yeah, I didn’t want to give an opinion on this in the video, be the condition certainly changes when it’s being sold and the public becomes aware of it’s existence. After creating CIB versions and releasing them, the gate has been opened.
@@Jenovi Just a heads up someone has dropped the rom. It was posted on the planetvb.com forums a while ago.
@@modeltfordman Very true. They just renamed it Hyper Fighting. Managed to get a loose copy on eBay for $250 of the full game.
I'd get this for a back in the day rare game, but you can play Street Fighter almost anywhere lol.
I don't understand why eighting would prevent any information being released from an unreleased game from 25 years ago on an obscure console. Hopefully it gets released eventually. Also flying Henry sounds pretty close to completion. Cool episode!!
It's because the contract is still valid as both companies are still in business. I can understand to a degree, especially if they are trying hard not to burn bridges.
Well, this confirms my suspects about that the Virtual Boy unreleases are darker than any console unreleases reviewed on this channel. Good work making this video, Jenovi!
Now to figure out the next console to cover.
@@Jenovi I feel if you analyze the Nuon or the Apple Pippin you would find even darker stuff, but it's not much information around there to make a decent video of those consoles so to me it doesn't worth it, but maybe to you it does.
Finally got around to watching this. Great work as always and on my favorite system to boot! Sorry for my absence. I hope to be back into things soon.
Some good news about Hyper Fighting is that it’s been publicly dumped now and can be emulated or flashed onto one of Kevin Mellott’s carts.
I wish Flying Henry would show up one day along with Dragon Hopper.
It kills me how people hold onto these roms. I’d gladly dump anything I found. At least we have a great community with people like Ben in it.
Glad you were able to check this out. Your channel 100% inspired me to cover the system.
Jenovi you have no idea how happy and flattered I am 💕
Another great episode! I wish Nintendo has allowed the Virtual Boy a chance to shine
I think it would have found it’s footing had they done the planned reintroduction.
Very well researched!
Thanks Pete. Man, somehow my TH-cam comment section got away from me. Appreciate you watching this.
ready for episode 1000, keep up the hard work. Proud of ya
Thanks Tim, I hope you're staying safe up North.
Another very inforrmative and well researched episode, thank you once again!
Thanks Mike. Always appreciate you stoping by.
That was an excellent crash course about Hyper Fighting on Virtual Boy. Great job man :)
Thanks my friend.
Your videos are always very informative and fun to watch. Thanks for sharing those news. You have a new member 😉
Thanks! 😁
Another great episode thanks 👍🏻
Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Someday your channel will blow up! I promise. It`s that good. Never stop creating content
Thanks! I intend to keep on making content even it the channel stays this size. I really appreciate the support.
This guy does great vids he seems to really research info
Thanks! 😆
I had the virtual boy, and loved it.. ..probably the very few that did
I never understood why the Virtual Boy did so poorly. I always thought it was super cool and my brother and I really wanted one, but our parents couldn't much afford it. We convinced our parents to sign up for a membership at Blockbuster (they HATED Blockbuster, so this was no small feat) just so we could rent one there a couple times. I think it was the only thing we ever rented from Blockbuster.
Our cousins were lucky enough to get one though and I would always ask to play it when we went over for holidays haha. It's a shame that the games go for so much money these days, because I still fantasize about getting one. One day...
Also, soundtrack for Red Alarm is incredible. I still pull it up on TH-cam and listen to it every once in a while.
Thanks for sharing your story. Reading about individual experiences regarding the topics I’m covering is one of the best parts of doing this show. One interesting tidbit is Nintendo negotiated with Blockbuster so that the rental price Gould be applied against the purchase of the unit. The intention was to mitigate any perceived risk in renting the unit. It was Nintendo saying, “Rent it on ya, because we guarantee once you try it, you’ll by it.”
It's certainly better than the R-ZONE!!!
I like pulling my VB out of the closet every once and a while. It was really a novel idea, and had some games that were really fun.
A New Japan game for VB, you say?
It may be the game I'm personally most interested in playing. We also know who some of the 8 wrestlers are. 1. Keiji Mutoh (The Great Muta ) 2. Hiroshi Hase 3. Mitsuo Yoshida (Riki Choshu)
Road rash would have been really cool for the VB.
Does Ben have any exclusive moves in street fighter 2?
Nope, just a custom screen between matches. He’s based on Ryu, so not as fun as my man Ken. 😆
@@Jenovi awwww
The Hyper Fighting game can't be released widely? It kind of is these days. You just need to know where to look and who to ask. The ROM was finally dumped with permission and all that on a public posting on Planet VirtualBoy. If you use an emulator or have a kit(coming this year) with the space to fit the big cartridge, you can in fact play it. People also do sell completed copies and have I think about a year-ish now. I've got one of the original old run copies of the cart and it's truly magnificent.
I do realize it's out there, though I haven't seen this embrace of its distribution on PVB. I think a ton of people, myself included, are looking forward to the Hyper Flash.
@@Jenovi Did you put in a pre order in PVB's Discord? Kevin Mellot took a couple of extra pre orders for it not too long ago.
The ROM was 100% not dumped with permission. There was a member asking for Kevins dumper. This member had someone ready to mail one his way so he could dump the game and release it. These were the intentions and stated publicly. I know for a fact that this person was also in contact with a video game museum and was going to supply a backup of the ROM for their archive. After this public conversation, the ROM was released by an anonymous user. If you know the true history of those involved, it's pretty easy to guess who released it.
@@NekoHazrd This is correct. Having been asked not to do it, Kevin Mellot went ahead and released copies of HF for sale. In fact, from almost the very beginning you could contact Kevin to get one of his Cart Only releases. PlanetVB member "johnnyphantom" has all remaining orginal HF boards and could realase an *official* 2nd wave, but never has and stated he probably will never get around to it.
they made an SF for VB? Dear god why?!
It's honestly a fair port, especially when you have the consoled Virtual Boy and are no longer stuck to the headset.
5k views rip my boy
Street Fighter on Virtual Boy had a Character named Ben?
Sure does. He's Ken's long lost nephew.
@@Jenovi Uh huh.

Man, I don't know. Street Fighter 2 is awesome and all, but this was NOT a system that needed to have games ported to it. Look at that! Street Fighter in red does not look like fun, and that weird controller wasn't exactly ideal.
I'm seeing red
One more episode worth and then back to "normal" colors. 😁
Street fighter2 hyper fighting is real
