Check out the trailer for the Virtual Boy: Nintendo Classics, a chance to finally play classic Nintendo Virtual Boy games on your Nintendo Switch 2. 14 class...
So they‘re selling a literal piece of plastic that becomes utterly useless the moment you lose access to their subscription service. Also, 14 games that they plan to release over time? Damn they must hate their customers with a passion.
At that point, why not just 3d print one or something. Save money by not giving it to a scummy company, and hey, throw a raspberry pi in there or something with an emulator and you can probably actually run Virtual Boy games on it.
It’s a VB-themed redesign of the Labo VR kit. Should presumably be compatible with everything Labo VR supported (like, three titles I think?). Maybe the fact that they’re bringing it back means they might reuse it in the future?

God forbid they just released the entire library at once. Total of 5 megabytes 🥳
If the recent pathetic patent filings were not enough to finally wake you up to what an awful company Nintendo are I don’t know what to tell you.
I’m one of the Virtual Boy’s only fans. I don’t own a Switch 2 and don’t have plans to. I might just buy the accessory as a display piece.

I believe the accessory works with switch 1 also, but its also really expensive at like 140 usd
lol the actual Virtual Boy only had 11 titles.
22 titles actually, of which 14 were released in the US.

This doesn’t have the head tracking capabilities of the VR kit, as you only insert the Switch which doesn’t have a gyro without the joycons.
Apparently they’re selling two versions. One is the full scale VB, and that’s clearly a collector’s item. The other is the VB-themed Labo VR.
