Nintendo debuts new Virtual Boy overview trailer, launch date/game lineup – headset now up for pre-order

While many Switch 2 gamers are squarely focused on the GameCube lineup still, one of Nintendo’s oft-maligned and tantalizingly quirky platforms is also set to make its worldwide debut on the Switch Online Nintendo Classics platform – Virtual Boy. The new physical hardware headset is now up for pre-order for Switch Online members and Nintendo has now unleashed an overview trailer for the platform with the launch lineup. 

Nintendo reveals Virtual Boy launch date/game lineup

We already saw the new Virtual Boy headset hardware go up for pre-order previously but it appears to be live once again for members (if you’re quick).

Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics debuts February 17 for Switch Online + Expansion Pass members.

Today, however, Nintendo has also debuted a brand new trailer for the Virtual Boy platform alongside confirmation of the library’s very red, and sometimes headache-inducing launch lineup of tiles:

  • Teleroboxer
  • Galactic Pinball
  • RED ALARM
  • GOLF
  • Virtual Boy Wario Land
  • 3-D TETRIS
  • The Mansion of Innsmouth

After the launch lineup hits, later this year and beyond, we will also be privy to the following titles:

  • Mario Clash
  • Mario Tennis
  • Jack Bros
  • Space Invaders Virtual Collection
  • Virtual Bowling
  • Virtual Force
  • V-Tetris

And on top of all of that, there also appears to be some previously unreleased games hitting the platform at some option as well: D-HOPPER and Zero Racers.
