Nintendo Switch Online is gearing up to add seven new games to the subscription service very soon. In 2025, Nintendo announced that it would be adding Virtual Boy games to Switch Online as part of the Expansion Pack tier of the platform. At the time, Nintendo didn’t reveal just how many games would be coming to this Virtual Boy catalog, which kept fans wanting to know more about this offering. Now, in advance of its launch in February, Nintendo has provided further details on what Switch Online members can expect until the end of 2026.
In a new video released by Nintendo today, it was revealed that seven Virtual Boy games will be coming to Nintendo Switch Online next month on February 17th. This lineup will most notably include titles like Teleroboxer, Virtual Boy Wario Land, 3D Tetris, and more. While seven games will be available on Switch Online right away, Nintendo also shared that an additional nine will be rolling out before this year comes to a close. Of those nine, two of the Virtual Boy games in question have never been released previously.

As mentioned, these Virtual Boy games will only be playable to those who are subscribed to the Expansion Pack offering of Nintendo Switch Online.
