Editing Virtual Boy (section)

===Connectivity===
During development, Nintendo promised the ability to link systems for competitive play.<ref name="Guardian Super Mario"/> A Virtual Boy link cable was being worked on at Nintendo as late as the third quarter of 1996.<ref name="EGM86"/> The system's EXT (extension) port, located on the underside of the system below the controller port, was never officially supported because no "official" multiplayer games were ever published. Two games were intended to use the EXT port for multiplayer play, but the multiplayer features were removed from ''Waterworld''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vr32.de/modules/interviews/?3 |title=Steve Woita « Interviews « Planet Virtual Boy |publisher=Vr32.de |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071109190056/http://www.vr32.de/modules/interviews/?3|archive-date=November 9, 2007 |date=November 23, 1993 |access-date=October 17, 2013}}</ref> and ''Faceball'' was canceled.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.planetvb.com/modules/games/?u005g |title=Faceball « Games « Planet Virtual Boy |publisher=Planetvb.com |access-date=June 20, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140703233012/http://www.planetvb.com/modules/games/?u005g |archive-date=July 3, 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref>
