Affordable cardboard VR has been around for years, so what can Nintendo do differently?
BLG writes: "The Nintendo Switch has sold more than 100 million units since its debut and it shows no signs of slowing down. While the Switch and Switch OLED are amazing right out of the box, there are a few Nintendo Switch Accessories that can enhance your experience in some useful and sometimes unique ways."
Having been out since 2018, Nintendo Labo VR isn't a new thing, but it has been criminally underutilised. With a staggering amount of potential for Switch owners.
Skyrim vr on the switch???? I honestly couldn't imagine it. It ready looks a blury mess on psvr. So imagine what a switch vr port would look like.
— Nintendo Labo:
Nintendo Labo is an ingenious combination of technology, cardboard, and creativity on Nintendo Switch, yet it didn't sell and is now being forgotten. Why?
It was imaginative, creative and unique. But ultimately, just another Nintendo gimmick. Tech demos.
They dabbled in it, made high profits on what is basically, expensive paper. AR Mario Kart will be following right behind it and Labo VR that they didn't fully support. Because the RC Kart only works for one game. Just like most of the Labo.
Power Glove and Virtual Boy will have a new friend in the closet to sit next to that eventually, will getting trashed or donated.
They were tech demos sold with pieces of cardboard. Anyone could see this wasn't anything more than just a one off thing
Edit:
This thing looks extremely uncomfortable to wear.
I don't think we should get our hopes too high for this. This as much a VR as the Labo steering wheel is a force feedback Forza steering wheel.
It's not proper VR, its just Nintendo doing more Labo. I don't consider Labo a main , core Nintendo series, it's casual like 1-2 Switch.
NO, 360p per eye is Freakin hilarious. My Note 9 with 1440 x 2960 pixels feels good in Gear VR, my PSVR with 1920 x 1080 Pixels feels good, sometimes its hard to read text and has screen door effect. My switch with 1280 x 720 Pixels is going to be really hard to take ,makes me wanna cry just thinking about it
