Kris Holt curates a quick look at Steam Next Fest demos, highlighting standout picks like The Last Salvage Squad (Virtual Boy–inspired 2.5D shooter), Screenbound (a 5D platformer with a 2D Game Boy-style companion), and Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?! for its energetic, anime-inspired vibe, then runs through additional demos and upcoming indies such as Copa City, Thank You For Your Application, The Quiet Things, Catto’s Post Office, Flesh Made Fear, and ReStory, noting their concepts, rough edges, and release windows. The piece also covers related Dead by Daylight updates and Holt’s personal favorite demo, Virtue and a Sledgehammer, framing Next Fest as a broad but selective snapshot of new indie games.

Virtual Boy Returns as Switch 2 Accessory, A Nostalgic Yet Uncomfortable Revival

Virtual Boy Returns as Switch 2 Accessory, A Nostalgic Yet Uncomfortable Revival

Nintendo's $100 Virtual Boy for Switch 2 is a surprisingly faithful but awkward homage that slides a Switch into a red-goggled shell to run seven classic Virtual Boy titles (via Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack); while accurate in look and tweakable for future software, it demands a case-free setup, lacks IPD/focus adjustment, has limited games (with Wario Land the standout), no wired controller, and some app quirks, making it more a history lesson than a practical gaming solution - yet it offers a rare glimpse into the era of early glasses-free 3D.

Virtual Boy Returns as a $100 Switch 2 Display, a Quirky Retro VR Museum Piece

Nintendo's Virtual Boy is rebooted as a $100 Switch 2 accessory that slots the console into a red-filter headset on a tripod to run seven of 16 promised retro games; it's a novelty museum piece rather than a serious gaming device, delivering a nostalgic indie vibe but with ergonomic compromises, a need for Switch Online Plus Expansion Pack, and cheaper cardboard goggles as an alternative.

Nintendo’s Virtual Boy Returns on Switch as an expensive, awkward nostalgia gadget

Nintendo brings back the Virtual Boy via the Switch with the Nintendo Classics retro lineup, but you must buy a $100 plastic headset (or a $25 cardboard version) and maintain a Switch Online subscription to access seven launch titles. The games run in portable mode without the accessory, but the goggles are essential for a playable (and legible) experience. It’s an uncomfortable, eyestrain-prone setup that’s oddly compelling for die‑hard fans, yet costly and limited in scope—more a boutique nostalgia item than a practical revival.

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.
