During the Nintendo Direct presentation for September 2025, Nintendo had a surprising reveal that long-time Nintendo fans did not expect to see. The library of Virtual Boy games is being added to the Switch Online service as Virtual Boy Classics that can be played on the Nintendo Switch 2. In addition, an accessory that recreates the experience of playing Virtual Boy t**les is being released in conjunction with the games being added to the service. For many people, the Virtual Boy was one of the few major failures for the company back in 1995. Although support for the system came to an abrupt end in 1996, it has become part of the company’s legacy in various ways over the years.
