The Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass will be introducing an additional platform to its collection, which has gained notoriety associated with Nintendo – the long-awaited Virtual Boy functionality is set to launch on February 17, 2026. However, keep in mind that you’ll require a specific accessory to enjoy this feature, as Virtual Boy games are engineered for a stereoscopic 3D effect.
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m super excited to share that Nintendo is working on an accessory inspired by the iconic Virtual Boy! Picture this: you slot your Switch or Switch 2 into it, position your face right up against the game screen – just like the good ol’ days with the original Virtual Boy.
Nintendo hasn’t disclosed a release date yet, but they’ve confirmed it’s coming in the future. And if that’s not enough to get you pumped, they’re also crafting a budget-friendly cardboard model for those who want to recreate the immersive experience at a lower price point.
The full plastic replica of the Virtual Boy will cost $100, while the cardboard version will set you back only $25. So gear up fellow gamers; it’s time to relive the classic Virtual Boy experience with a modern twist!
The presentation teased 14 Virtual Boy games slated for release, including:
- Wario Land
- Galactic Pinball
- Red Alarm
- Telero Boxer
- Mario Tennis
- Jack Bros
- Vertical Force
- Mario Clash
- Golf
- Virtual Bowling
- Space Invaders
The Virtual Boy was generally considered a misstep by Nintendo due to its underperforming sales compared to most of their other systems. Players found the red-tinted 3D stereoscopic display uncomfortable, and using the goggles made it less portable than the Game Boy, despite the name association. However, it remains an intriguing part of Nintendo’s past history, and now contemporary players will have the opportunity to experience it firsthand.
