Okay, so Nintendo just dropped the prices for the Virtual Boy accessories you’ll need to play the new games coming to Nintendo Switch Online. The big Nintendo Direct in September 2025 was packed with news – tons of stuff for both Switch and the upcoming Switch 2! They celebrated Mario’s 40th birthday with an announcement about *The Super Mario Galaxy Movie*, and revealed a new *Fire Emblem* game called *Fortune’s Weave*. But the biggest surprise? They brought back the Virtual Boy! I honestly didn’t expect that.
Nintendo recently surprised Switch Online subscribers by announcing that classic games from the Virtual Boy will be added to the service early next year. Along with the game reveal, Nintendo showed off a new accessory that lets you physically dock your Switch console to recreate the look of the original Virtual Boy. Now, details are emerging about how much this unique accessory will cost.
Nintendo has announced the prices for Virtual Boy accessories coming to the Switch and Switch 2. A full-size version, designed to look like the original Virtual Boy console, will cost $99.99. A smaller, portable cardboard headset will be available for $24.99. Both accessories will launch on February 17, alongside the Virtual Boy games for the Switch 2.
Nintendo Shares Prices for Virtual Boy Switch Accessories
- Virtual Boy for Nintendo Switch/Nintendo Switch 2: $99.99
- Virtual Boy (Cardboard Model) for Nintendo Switch/Nintendo Switch 2: $24.99
Nintendo is bringing back a collection of games originally made for its Virtual Boy console, giving more players a chance to experience these rare titles. The Virtual Boy had a brief run – it was discontinued in North America just one year after its release. Because of this, most of the 22 games created for the system haven’t been re-released since they first came out.
Okay, so Nintendo just dropped a surprise on us! They added Virtual Boy games to Nintendo Switch Online, which is awesome considering how much the service has grown, especially with the Switch 2 coming out. We’ve been waiting ages for GameCube games, and Nintendo finally delivered – as a Switch 2 exclusive, no less! I’m so hyped to replay classics like *Zelda: The Wind Waker* and *Soul Calibur 2*. Plus, they’ve got some Switch 2 Edition upgrades like *Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom* as part of the subscription. Honestly, I’m excited to dive into the Virtual Boy library – it’s a pretty unique and forgotten part of Nintendo’s history, and it’s cool they’re giving it some love.
