[Let’s Talk] Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics impressions

Posted on February 21, 2026 by (@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch, Switch 2

There was a big addition to Nintendo Switch Online this week, which was the Virtual Boy. Many years after the hardware’s original release – arguably the biggest failure in Nintendo’s history – it’s back and you can play select games right now – sort of.

With most classic systems – be it the NES or GameCube – you can play as soon as you download the relevant app. With the Virtual Boy, however, Nintendo has been promoting the purchase of an accessory – either a dedicated option that replicates the original system or a cardboard alternative. This is because the hardware was originally made for stereoscopic 3D.

Have you experienced Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics yet, or do you not have any interest? If you’ve played the games, what are your impressions? Let us know in the comments.
