Unreleased Virtual Boy Games ZERO RACERS and Dragon Hopper Arrive August 4
Nintendo announced on July 31, 2026 that two previously unreleased Virtual Boy titles, ZERO RACERS and Dragon Hopper, will be added to the Virtual Boy Nintendo Classics service for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers on August 4. ZERO RACERS is a racing game where players pilot a floating machine through square ducts, completing five laps per course and finishing third or higher to advance. The machine's power decreases on contact with walls or other machines, and players must recover in the pit area to avoid crashing. Dragon Hopper is a top-down action game starring Prince Dorin, who must traverse floating platforms to find four vanished spirits and return to the fairy kingdom. Dorin can transform into multiple types of dragons with special abilities. The update also adds a color change feature, letting players switch the game screen from the traditional red to green, Game Boy-style, or Super Game Boy-style schemes. The dedicated Virtual Boy (Paper Model) hardware is on sale at 1,980 yen, a 1,000 yen discount, until August 17.
