Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics will be available for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 starting Feb 17, 2026!
Enjoy the following games for Nintendo’s stereoscopic system: Mario’s Tennis, Teleroboxer, Galactic Pinball, and more will be released over time.
The dedicated accessory needed to play Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics will be available for pre-purchase at a later date. A cardboard model of the accessory will also be available.
These absolute madmen are selling the Virtual Boy again. Reminds me of that time when Morbius got a second run in theaters. If you can play the games without the accessory it’s fine, but that thing flopped for a reason!
And the games were not that reason.
Well the super small library of games sure didn’t help…
But the games that were released are very well made (Nintendo and third party) and some even pushed the hardware in ways you usually didn’t see until several years into a console’s life cycle.
Officially being allowed to play these games without that damned headset will give a lot of these titles a second following.
Can you play it without the headset? I wasn’t clear on that from the announcement.
