Very rare flyer

Status: Lost

Virtual Block (バーチャルブロック) is a canncelled Virtual Boy game from Bottom Up. It was supposed to be released in December of 1995 in time for Christmas. This never happened though.

Plot

This game was supposed to be like Arkanoid in the way that you had to bounce a ball and hit blocks. The only difference in that mechanic is that the game used two paddles. Each paddle was controlled by the two D-pads on the Virtual Boy. Each stage had enemies that you could hit with the ball. There also was boss stages. One of these involve the boss being a giant tree stump that throws rocks.

Availability

A prototype most likly exists as the game was shown at Famicom Space World 1995. Besides this, only 3 screenshots have surfaced.
