Shortly before the release of the Virtual Boy VR headset for the Nintendo Switch/Switch 2 systems, it was revealed that games for the device will get a staggered release. Back in February, only 7 games were available at launch, but with a promise that more would be added in the future. Nintendo has kept that promise with the release of five additional games.

A video announcement via its YouTube channel has confirmed that five classic games have been added to the library of games available for the Virtual Boy via the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. The games are among the 9 games promised to be added to the library in 2026. Below are the titles:

  • V-Tetris
  • Jack Bros.
  • Space Invaders Virtual Collection
  • Virtual Bowling
  • Vertical Force

Back in March, Nintendo added two extra games — Mario's Tennis and Mario Clash. However, there are still two more games that are expected to be added this year. One of them is Zero Racers, a spin-off of F-Zero; while the other is D-Hopper. These games were made for the original Virtual Boy in 1995, but were never released for it.
