Unreleased games coming later? That’s pretty cool!

I guess it’s cool that there’s gonna be unreleased games

I’m gonna be honest, this is cool this is here, but I am never going to touch this. With all these news drops they are doing it is pretty clear a Direct is happening soon.

Thank goodness they have screen color changes planned, but still odd it’s not there at launch.
Personally, I think I’ll stick with that fan-made VB emulator on Nintendo 3DS since it’s a lower barrier to entry, and I still have a working 3DS to experience the visuals with.

So we won’t be able to play these in docked mode in 2D?

For the three people in the back.
Now I’m kidding but it is pretty cool to have that also on Switch 1 and 2.

I’m don’t think I’ll be touching this tbh… I don’t see myself buying the Virtual Boy Stand to play it and no virtual boy game really interests me at all.
It’s cool that it’s there but it’s very niche. I have the 3DS emulator of VB games anyways if I’m ever curious about the games but not really. Just have it on my 3DS for if I’m ever curious I guess

Genuine question, are there any VB games worth playing in the big 2026? I was far too young to be around for this era
devenrc on
It’s worth it for Virtual Boy Wario Land
Sharp-Trash751 on
Idk it’s so gimmicky, more than usual for Nintendo. I don’t know if I see it taking off
No-Honeydew9129 on
Who actually asked for this?

The unreleased games look great! Having played the entire catalog so far on the 3DS, I have to say the comfort level will be objectively worse. But I like the novelty of having a virtual boy.
MagicBez on
I’m the exact kind of idiot who might buy this despite myself but now I have to make a calculation:
Does this thing sell so poorly they end up putting it on heavy discount six months to a year from now allowing me to grab one cheap
Or does thing sell so poorly that they sell the initial batch of pre-orders, never make any more and it ends up costing a ludicrous amount second hand that I’ll never be willing to pay?
…I still regret not buying more Donkey Konga bongo drums when they were on sale dirt cheap back in the day

One of the features of all time
TheLimeyLemmon on
There’s definitely some games I’d be interested to try, but I’m not doing the whole VR glasses thing for these games so unless there’s a 2D way to play these on a TV, I won’t be playing it.

This confirms you can remove the red lens. I’ll get one now for BotW Switch 2 VR.
SomeElderMillennial on
All this and still no Diddy Kong Racing 64
Cats_R_Rats on
Im hyped. I love retro games but never had a virtual boy.
tomhas10 on
The two unreleased games are really interesting! Unlike Star Fox 2, no known prototypes have been found, so this will be the first time these games have ever been playable outside closed doors.
PossMom on
They really gotta make it so you can play these in 2D without buying an attachment. Virtual Boy just isn’t worth going out of your way to buy an accessory to play.
NickMalo on
Cool
Please give us the GameCube library
UltimateChungus on
Honestly I don’t mind this to much considering that two pieces of, previously, lost media will be able to see the light of day
isaelsky21 on
It’s cool for whoever likes it, but the fact we’ll get releases for this instead of other consoles/handhelds is going to suck when we never got DK Racing and some others. But I guess, Nintendo. I guess.

Imma gonna buy this arn’t I?? Goddammit.
Disrespect78 on
they really drip-feeding the virtual boy 💀
OfficialShaki123 on
So, for Virtual Boy they can remove the ugly borders with text overlay and profile icon, but they can’t for all the other NSO systems?
What a F joke Nintendo. Not gonna pay for this consumer unfriendly mess.
Asd_89 on
So other than the Japan only games, we are getting the whole library?
