Nintendo adds five Virtual Boy games to Nintendo Classics

gamingMay 13, 202621596

Nintendo added five Virtual Boy titles to the Nintendo Classics library on Nintendo Switch Online: V-TETRIS, Jack Bros., Space Invaders Virtual Collection, Virtual Bowling, and Vertical Force. Three of those additions, Space Invaders Virtual Collection, Virtual Bowling, and Vertical Force, are available outside Japan for the first time. Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members can play these games on current Switch hardware, making rarely seen Virtual Boy software much easier to access today.

I'm surprised we even still have some Virtual Boy games left.

I'd be hyped for these, if I could play them while docked. I'm not buying or wearing a head piece to play games.

More games for the accessory no one bought...and we're still waiting for simple things like Chrono Trigger, FFTA, or even the original Super Mario RPG

StarLover3

Would be nice to play them on the TV... Whenever Nintendo is kind enough to update it that is...

Allison Rey Jazmine2

I wouldn't describe the Virtual Boy games as "classic".

I'd be a bit more enthusiastic about the Virtual Boy releases if I could play them without the blasted peripheral.

In Japan they added a Fishing game too youtu.be/meBQ8q_hMPU?...

… can we get some GameCube games? Dk64?

See guys, the Switch 2 does have video games! .......In all seriousness, the fact that we're Jack Bros and at a much, much, MUCH lower rate than getting a physical copy is to be commended.

You know... I would play the Virtual Boy stuff if I didn't have to load it into the stupid shell every time. Given that emulators have done 2D on PC for years, this feels like a genuinely silly oversight.

The year of Virtual Boy continues as Jack Bros, Vertical Force, Space Invaders Virtual Collection, Virtual Bowling, and V Tetris hit NSO, those last three for the first time outside of Japan. Yet Japan also got Virtual Fishing exclusively for some reason.
