Title: Never-Before-Seen Virtual Boy tech demo footage: Starfox & Mario Land

Hi Guys

I thought i'd share this with the Nintendo community...

The camera work is pretty rough because Nintendo hosted the VB demos in a small dark enclosed mini-theatre filled with attendees. We stood in a pretty large line waiting to get our chance to see the VB games for the first-time in the U.S. Nintendo wasn't allowing photography inside but I was able to pretend my camera wasn't shooting by placing some dark wire tape over the recording light. So basically I went against their policy and I had to be very careful that the Reps didn't see me recording.

Thanks for watching !

Wow, what could've been... the most intriguing things are the projects Nintendo ****-cans or when they are in beta testing.

But is that really Star Fox though?

Did you revamp the site recently? I remember going to a VB site similar to this a while ago that showed all of this stuff.

Nevermind, I found the site I was thinking of http://www.virtual-boy.org/
