Unreleased gems!
It has been revealed that next week, on August 4, 2026, a new update for the Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics application will add two more games to its current library. The games in question are D-HOPPER and ZERO RACERS. A trailer for both games and their official game description can be seen below:
D-HOPPER (Nintendo)
Released in: 2026
Number of Players: 1
Reclaim Prince Dorin’s kingdom!
When prime minister Lexer stages a rebellion in the faraway land of Celestia and sends pursuers after Prince Dorin, the prince is cornered and ultimately falls deep underground. Now, having been rescued by fairies, it’s time for Prince Dorin to return home and seek four spirits who have gone missing from Faeron along the way. In this action title for the Virtual Boy™ system, leap and fly across floating floors and defeat enemies blocking your path to advance. When you locate each of the four missing spirits, you’ll be able to transform into a dragon that wields special techniques!
ZERO RACERS (Nintendo)

When you locate each of the four missing spirits, you’ll be able to transform into a dragon that wields special techniques!
Enter the future in this racing title for the Virtual Boy™ system which takes place 10 years before the turn of the 30th century. Forced to live underground, humanity has lost its former glory and access to certain emotions. This is where the RACE is held. Compete for the highest rank in your machine of choice on courses of interconnected square ducts. You must maintain a rank within each lap’s specified range and finish in the top three to advance to the next course. Fly through Rapid Marks on each course to obtain RAPID and use that to give yourself a temporary speed boost!
Will you be diving into D-HOPPER and ZERO RACERS next week? Let us know!
