"A total of 14 games from the Virtual Boy's 22-game library will be playable on Nintendo Switch consoles starting February 17, 2026. Titles will include Mario's Tennis (the sports series' debut was actually a Virtual Boy pack-in), Tetris, Teleroboxer, and Wario Land. The new addition to the service marks the very first time these games will be playable since their initial release 30 years ago."
"To ensure modern players get the full experience, a dedicated Virtual Boy accessory that replicates the original hardware will be sold via Nintendo's official website. The unit will open up, allowing players to slot in a Switch or Switch 2 console so the games can be played as they were originally designed. The accessory will go on sale in February and will retail for $100."
Nintendo will add 14 Virtual Boy games to Nintendo Switch Online on February 17, 2026, marking the first time those titles are playable since their 1995 releases. Titles include Mario's Tennis, Tetris, Teleroboxer, and Wario Land. A dedicated accessory that replicates the original Virtual Boy hardware will be sold through Nintendo’s website, opening to accept a Switch or Switch 2 so games play as originally designed. The replica will retail for $100, with a $25 cardboard alternative offered. The Virtual Boy launched in 1995 and became a notable commercial failure, receiving only occasional nods in later Nintendo games.
