Nintendo is bringing its most notorious flop back to life as part of the Nintendo Switch Online service.
The 1995 Virtual boy The console is expected to launch on February 17, 2026. Users can play it on both the original Switch and the new Switch 2.
There will be seven games at launch, including Virtual Boy Wario Land, 3D Tetrisand Japanese version only Innsmouth Manor.
Notably, officials confirmed that the service would later expand to include two new games, namely: Zero runners And D hoppers.
The interesting fact is that the titles of these were previewed in the 90s but were never officially released.
To play these games, users need a separate Virtual Boy accessory that serves as a headset, into which the Switch slots, recreating the distinctive red and black stereoscopic 3D effect of the original console.
Although it dates from the 90s, the service will include modern quality of life features such as save states and rewind functionality.
In 2026, it is expected that the option to change the display color from the original bright red to yellow, green or white will also be available.
This revival gives a second chance to one of the most curious failures in video games.
