Nintendo has announced the Virtual Boy - Nintendo Classics collection, set to launch on February 17, 2026, exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers. The initial release will feature seven classic Virtual Boy titles. Throughout 2026, an additional nine games will be added to the collection, expanding the playable library.
This collection notably includes two games, Zero Racers and Dragon Hopper, which were previously unreleased despite being near completion. These titles, alongside others, will bring the total number of games available in the first year to sixteen, representing a significant portion of the original Virtual Boy's 22-game library.
The Virtual Boy - Nintendo Classics will also incorporate modern quality-of-life features such as remappable controls and a rewind function. A color change option, allowing players to alter the display from red to yellow, green, or greyscale, is planned for a future update, though it will not be available at launch.
