The new accessory will play 14 classic games from the Virtual Boy on the Switch and Switch 2 through Switch Online.
Who saw this one coming? Nintendo is rereleasing 3D Virtual Boy games on the Switch and Switch 2 through the Classics catalogue of its online subscription service.
The games will be playable through a new accessory referred to as the Virtual Boy Nintendo Classics edition. You’ll need that accessory, or a cheaper cardboard alternative, and a Switch console to “enjoy a collection of Virtual Boy games in stereoscopic 3D,” Nintendo says.
It looks similar to the original Virtual Boy hardware. This time, you can pull the red visor up to insert a Switch console (without the controllers) in front of the lenses.
The accessory works with the Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, or Switch 2. The included games are 3D Tetris, Galactic Pinball, Golf, Insmouse no Yakata, Jack Bros, Mario Clash, Mario’s Tennis, Red Alarm, Space Invaders: Virtual Collection, Teleroboxer, V-Tetris, Vertical Force, Virtual Bowling, and Virtual Boy: Wario Land.
