In the prototype 2 modes of play are available, “Normal”, which is the main 1-player game, and “Arena” which most likely would have been the 2-player mode that uses the link cable.
About Virtual Boy
Nintendo's Virtual Boy (1995) was an early, tabletop-mounted stereoscopic 3D system that used red monochrome displays — a design that caused user discomfort and contributed to it being discontinued within a year. Its extremely short commercial life produced one of the smallest official game libraries of any Nintendo platform, making complete Virtual Boy titles a genuinely rare and sought-after niche among Nintendo collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Faceball for Virtual Boy with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Faceball to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Faceball, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Virtual Boy titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
