Nintendo has officially confirmed that its Virtual Boy game library will be released on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service, following its announcement of plans last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting February 17, subscribers will be able to experience this experimental 3D console game that was released in 1995 on the existing Switch and the upcoming Switch 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To recreate the 3D effects of the past, players need to use the special Virtual Boy accessories, which offer two options: a standard version and a more affordable paper version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The debut compilation will feature 7 games, including renowned titles like Mario’s Tennis and Wario Land. Following this, 9 new games will be added, with the most anticipated being Zero Racer and D-Hopper, both of which were never officially released back in the day, making them truly Lost Works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the Virtual Boy failed to penetrate the mainstream market when it was first launched in 1995 and was soon discontinued, over time, this console has gradually become a coveted item among collectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This digital revival gives players the chance to re-explore this unique and fantastical chapter in Nintendo’s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Readers can preview the upcoming lineup of Virtual Boy games launching on the Switch through the official released video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
