Summary
Virtual Block is a cancelled Virtual Boy game from Botwas supposed to be released in December of 1995 in time for Christmas, but was cancelled due to the Virtual Boy's failure. This game would have played similarly to Arkanoid in that you had to bounce a ball off a paddle and hit blocks. The only difference in that mechanic is that the game would use two paddles, each controlled by the two D-pads on the controller. Each stage had enemies that you could hit with the ball. There would also have been boss stages, one featuring a giant tree stump enemy that would throw rocks.
