Nintendo Switch Online Welcomes Virtual Boy Games This February: Check Out the Initial Lineup

Nintendo Switch Online is set to expand its library with a selection of new games for the Virtual Boy this February, and the official lineup has been revealed.

A feature coming later this year will enable players to change the tint of the games from the Virtual Boy’s signature red to other colors like white or green; to use this feature, players will need to remove the lens cover on the Virtual Boy.
