Overview
- Two previously unreleased Virtual Boy titles, D‑Hopper and Zero Racers, will be added to the Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics app on August 4, 2026.
- Super Mario Sunshine will join the Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics app on Nintendo Switch 2 for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members on August 13, 2026.
- Nintendo is delivering the GameCube release as original emulation scaled for modern screens rather than a new visual remaster like the Super Mario 3D All‑Stars version.
- Playing Virtual Boy titles on Switch requires Nintendo’s headset replica or the cardboard variant sold by the company, and several Virtual Boy games that use licensed IP remain unlikely to appear on the service.
- The updates expand the Switch Online classics catalog, give players official access to completed or cancelled Virtual Boy projects for the first time, and mark another step in Nintendo’s effort to archive older, hard-to-find games.
