Nintendo Switch Online’s Virtual Boy library can be played using Labo VR goggles (Switch 1 fits, Switch 2 needs tweaks), but TV play is not supported. You can view the dual images without peripherals, though the screens are tiny; IPD and image size can be adjusted, with hue options promised later. Seven VB games are available as of Feb 17, 2026, led by Wario Land, and a hardware review is forthcoming.
Nintendo will launch 'Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics' on February 17 for Nintendo Switch Online, letting players access titles like 3-D Tetris and Virtual Boy Wario Land. At launch it offers two hardware options: a $99.99 one-to-one recreation of the original Virtual Boy, and a $24.99 cardboard Labo VR headset, with a third option to play the pack on Labo VR headsets. Nintendo notes the Labo compatibility is not heavily promoted since it doesn’t actively sell Labo VR kits. A preview showed the $99.99 replica works using a Pro controller, and Nintendo has teased more Virtual Boy content, including the unreleased 'Zero Racer' arriving in 2026.
A Nintendo Life report suggests the Labo VR cardboard headset could be compatible with Virtual Boy games on Nintendo Switch Online, based on a GamesBeat claim from a Nintendo Treehouse staffer; Nintendo has not officially confirmed it yet. The Virtual Boy app is slated to launch on Feb 17, 2026 alongside a cheaper Virtual Boy shell, and Labo VR compatibility would require using the original Switch (Switch 2 likely won’t fit in the headset).
The article discusses the possibility of playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in VR on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, using a new cardboard Virtual Boy accessory that resembles the original Virtual Boy and shares similar lenses with the Labo VR kit. Given the Switch 2's more powerful hardware and higher resolution display, Nintendo could easily enable a better VR experience for Zelda and other games, potentially bringing full-color VR to the platform without requiring subscriptions.
