Overview
- Virtual Boy titles will roll out to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack on Switch and Switch 2 starting February 17, 2026, and the headset accessory is mandatory for gameplay.
- Nintendo’s product listings show the plastic replica priced at $99.99 and the cardboard model at $24.99, and purchasers must be Nintendo Switch Online members.
- A total of 14 games will be added over time, with highlighted titles including Mario’s Tennis, Wario Land, Galactic Pinball, Teleroboxer, and versions of Tetris.
- The accessory recreates the system’s stereoscopic red-and-black 3D by splitting the Switch screen into two images viewed through lenses, echoing the original hardware.
- Some outlets report initial availability limited to North American and Canadian subscribers, and coverage notes the original 1995 Virtual Boy sold fewer than about 770,000 units before it was discontinued.
