Overview
- The Virtual Boy: Nintendo Classics app is live on the eShop for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, but access requires a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.
- Stereoscopic 3D viewing also requires an official accessory from the My Nintendo Store, offered as a $99 plastic replica or a $25 cardboard viewer.
- Seven games are playable at launch—3D Tetris, Galactic Pinball, Golf, The Mansion of Innsmouth, Red Alarm, Teleroboxer, and Virtual Boy Wario Land—with Innsmouth appearing officially in the West for the first time.
- Nintendo has confirmed nine additional titles for 2026, including Mario Clash, Mario’s Tennis, Jack Bros, Space Invaders Virtual Collection, Virtual Bowling, Vertical Force, V‑Tetris, and the previously unreleased Zero Racer and D‑Hopper.
- Early hands-on reports note key limitations, including no docked/TV support, Joy‑Con removal and charging tradeoffs, and comfort concerns, with mixed reports on unofficial Labo VR compatibility.
