Jack Bros., V-Tetris, Vertical Force, Space Invaders Virtual Collection, and Virtual Bowling just dropped into Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack like a surprise drop in the best way. These Virtual Boy relics from '95 are now playable on Switch and Switch 2, no red-screen headache required if you snag the official accessory.
The lineup's straight fire for retro heads: Jack Bros. as the first Megami Tensei game outside Japan, V-Tetris doing its puzzle thing, Vertical Force blasting as a Hudson shooter, Space Invaders Virtual Collection bringing the classics, and Virtual Bowling rolling in with that sweet simulation energy. All require the Expansion Pack tier and the new Virtual Boy peripheral – plastic or cardboard versions available now.
Community's going wild on X with hype posts and old YTPMV throwbacks, plus Reddit threads calling it "surprisingly good" for fans who never owned the original hardware. Nintendo's digging deep into the vault and serving it up monthly, proving the Classics service is lowkey one of the best parts of NSO.
This is the kind of update that turns heads and gets people firing up the app immediately.
