Eager to enjoy titles like Telereboxer and Galactic Pinball on the Virtual Boy? While it may seem odd to contemporary gamers, these are thrilling moments for retro enthusiasts. You can now grab the Virtual Boy for Nintendo Switch 2/Nintendo Switch from Nintendo’s digital store. Indeed, in 2025, a brand-new Virtual Boy accessory is available for your Switch or Switch 2. It’s an exciting era for gamers.

As of Dec. 10, you can buy the Virtual Boy for Nintendo Switch 2/Nintendo Switch at $99.99 from Nintendo’s online store. A Nintendo Switch Online membership is necessary to purchase, limited to one per transaction.

During a Nintendo Direct event in September, Nintendo revealed that certain Virtual Boy games would be introduced to the Nintendo Classics section for members of Nintendo Switch Online. These games require Joy-Con or Joy-Con 2 controllers and the unique Virtual Boy accessory, crafted to mimic the original system that supports stereoscopic 3D. If you wish to experience classic Virtual Boy games like Mario’s Tennis, this peripheral is essential. A cardboard variant will also be offered in the future.

This accessory is exclusively available to those holding a paid Nintendo Switch Online subscription. To access the games upon their release alongside the Virtual Boy on Feb. 17, 2026, you will need a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. A standard Switch or Switch 2 is necessary, as the Nintendo Switch Lite is not compatible with this replica.

If you’re prepared to jump in when February comes, secure your Virtual Boy now to begin playing as soon as the games launch.
