Nintendo's upcoming Virtual Boy accessory and its cardboard alternative have been confirmed to support VR gameplay for major Switch titles including Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
If you ever wanted to experience Hyrule or the Mushroom Kingdom through a retro tinted lens, you are officially in luck. Recent hardware testing has confirmed that Nintendo's upcoming Virtual Boy accessory works seamlessly with a handful of major Switch titles, bringing virtual reality support to games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
According to hands on reports from Video Games Chronicle, the new headset and its budget friendly cardboard alternative open up VR functionality for existing titles that already feature built in stereoscopic modes. Instead of remaining a novelty piece gathering dust on a shelf, the hardware actually functions as a viable display for some of the biggest first party games in modern gaming history.
For players who love tinkering with unconventional hardware setups, this adds an unexpected new layer to games you might have already beaten years ago. Whether this breathes new life into your backlog or simply serves as a fun weekend experiment for your streaming channel, it is a fascinating crossover between Nintendo's notoriously quirky hardware history and its modern platform hits.
