Nintendo Switch Online Gets Virtual Boy Games, Accessory Dock

Nintendo announced during the September 2025 Direct that Virtual Boy games would join the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscription tier for people with both the original console and Switch 2. It will require a plastic or cardboard accessory dock to play. That will roll out on February 17, 2025. 

The accessory dock is designed to look exactly like a Virtual Boy, and someone will pull the front open to insert either a Switch or Switch 2 to have it act as a dock. They can then play the titles in stereoscopic 3D. The cardboard option will be smaller and look more similar to the Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit. People with a subscription will be able to buy that peripheral.

Nintendo announced 14 games will be part of this Virtual Boy library. The Direct stream showed Galactic Pinball, Mario’s Tennis and Teleroboxer being played. 

This is the full list of expected games that will all eventually be available in the Virtual Boy Classics app.

There is no sign of Waterworld in the list.

Here is the full September 2025 Nintendo Direct showcase:
