The Virtual Boy was a pretty short-lived console in Nintendo's lineup, but it has a strong, dedicated fanbase of people who were immune to the constant headaches the console created. It's a unique and iconic piece of Nintendo hardware, and now you can relive all of the stereoscopic games on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 thanks to a new peripheral.
Yes, Nintendo are selling a Virtual Boy accessory that you stick your Switch 1 or 2 into, before using the viewfinder, just like the original Virtual Boy. Simply slot it in, close it up, and play Mario's Tennis, Galactic Pinball, Telero Boxer, and more.
All 14 games will be available to play soon, with the service launching on February 17th, 2026. The peripheral is simply stated as launching 'soon' and alongside a cardboard version of the new Switch Virtual Boy.
Keep your eyes peeled for more information as and when it arrives, and check out our list of the best Virtual Boy games while you're waiting!
