Was looking at prices, but it's overpriced (especially with the added shipping cost and import tax), and from what I read, the build quality is pretty bad. The screen is extremely fragile, as even a short drop (like from a table) can break the glass. And also the crank wears out faster than expected.
Wonder how much of the game was completed, before it was cancelled. Hope the demo that was shown, will be found, ripped and uploaded in the future. But after 30 years, I guess that too much to hope for now.
I owned a VB, about 15 years ago, and the 3D looked great. Wario Land and Vertical Force was fun. I wish they had kept VB in the oven for another year or two (instead of rushing it out to market), and released it with full color displays, and straps, so you could use it without that stand. Maybe it would have done better?

Too much of a hipster gimmick console.

Ah okey. I understand.
I'll just blast the Super Hang-on soundtrack on my stereo, while playing 😁👍
This is really impressive. Great job!

No catchy in game music?
Or is it just the video that lacks that?

Re: Cult Shmup Air Gallet's Remake Hits Arcades This Month
Finally a "new" shmup, without annoying lolis, piercing my eardrums, with their dialogue and screams.
Though I personally prefer no dialogue and story at all in shmups. "Get Ready" and "Power Up" is all I need from an announcer 😁
