September 2025 Nintendo Direct - Mario 40th Anniversary? No! Virtual Boy Revival!

Don't adjust your monitor. This is not an April Fool either! Today, Nintendo gave us a brand new Nintendo Direct, with a lot of focus on Super Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary. There was a lot of others big announcements too, like a new Yoshi game, a Dragon Quest VII remake or even a new Fire Emblem games. BUT, nothing came close for me to the reveal...of Virtual Boy - Nintendo Classics!!! I almost laughed out loud when it was shown. They could have brought up the DS, the Wii, but nope, we've got the Virtual Boy, the biggest flop in Nintendo History, and I'm all here for it, and so is Nintendo. In a big Nintendo Labo move, you'll be able to buy a replica of the Virtual Boy, where you'll be able to put your Switch (both 1 & 2) inside and relive the 3D Black & Red experience at its fullest! This is some dedication, kudos to you Nintendo on that one. I'm just happy to play Wario Land VB.

In any case, if you want to watch the full hour, here's the video from the official Nintendo Youtube Channel:
