[Let’s Talk] Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics impressions
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
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 This is because the hardware was originally made for stereoscopic 3D.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.

While the situation has improved since the launch and pre-launch period, some studios are apparently still struggling to obtain launch kits to make games for Nintendo Switch 2.
Arkaden spoke with a number of developers in different parts of the world and reports that they are still “largely unavailable.” The information comes from some teams who previously released games on the original Nintendo Switch. One developer said that in order to apply for Switch 2 development, they need to be patient or “hope to be tapped on the shoulder by Nintendo”.

Physical vs. digital games on Nintendo Switch 2 – advantages and disadvantages
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
It’s 2026, and with each passing year, physical media is phased out just a little bit more – which is why it’s so important that we try to preserve it! Of all three major video game companies, Nintendo has generally made the best effort to preserve its own physical media – with just one exception. Indeed, despite rising manufacturing costs, most of Nintendo’s first and second party offerings are available physically on Switch 2 with no strings attached. And even though that should be kind of a baseline expectation at this point, it’s refreshing to see at least some companies trying to sell physical media. So today, we’re talking about the advantages and disadvantages of physical and digital media, and of course going over the dreaded Game-Key Cards while we’re at it.
