Overview
- The add-on is a non-powered shell with stereoscopic lenses that accepts a Switch or Switch 2 as the screen and processor.
- Access to the library requires a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, and play uses Joy-Cons or a Pro Controller because Nintendo did not reissue the original pad.
- Seven titles arrive at launch with nine more scheduled through 2026, including Mario’s Tennis and long-unreleased games such as Zero Racers and D-Hopper.
- Nintendo is selling a $25 cardboard version alongside the $100 replica, though early prepurchase windows for both sold out and supply is described as limited with restocks expected on Feb. 16.
- Hands-on previews praise accurate emulation of depth and shading but report awkward tabletop ergonomics and eye or neck strain, with color settings available beyond pure red.
