Overview

Hyper V-Ball is a side-scrolling volleyball game that features a dozen different nations to choose from. It is the sequel to Super Volleyball, which was available on the Sega Genesis and NEC TurboGrafx-16, and this is reflected in its Japanese name, Super Volley II.

The player can choose from twelve male teams and eight female teams. In addition, there is a "Hyper" league which includes eight teams comprised of robots and cyborgs which allows player to play a less realistic version of the sport. Each of the three categories has four empty spaces for player-edited teams as well.
