Kane99 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Nintendo did try to do a VR headset thing a while ago through their labo kit, but it isn't like VR in the sense of what Oculus does. Do you think that Nintendo could join the VR world one of these days? I think it'd be great to see Nintendo doing VR, because they have a catalog of games that could easily do VR. Imagine playing a Zelda game in VR, or flipping around a level as Mario. I don't see it happening anytime soon though. It's probably years off.

The Blackangel Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 After the colossal failure of the Virtual Boy, they're still scared of going that way. Virtual Boy was supposed to be their entry into the VR world. It was universally hated for many reasons. Nintendo lost millions, possibly billions on it. There were less than 100 games for it. So if they can get past that fear, they might. Hell they might secretly have something in production that they're trying to perfect. They're shady enough to keep secrets pretty well hidden. With the occasional disgruntled employee leaking information, and then being both fired and sued when they discover who it was. VR is the wave of the future. But maybe not necessarily for every platform. I mean Nintendo was just a playing card manufacturer in the 1800's. Now look at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but the tech is there, so it's just about taking the time and money to make something VR related. I think what will eventually happen, is that they will end up supporting VR headsets maybe, so that people can use their VR headsets on VR enables Nintendo games. It would save them having to make their own VR headset, and would probably save them money in the long run. 5 hours ago, Reality vs Adventure said: I had no idea they made cards since the 1800's!

I'm pretty sure that was the reason they got into video games. So yeah, anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Nintendo's Labo VR Kit was a very unique experiment, but it's true that it doesn't give a full VR experience like Oculus. I also think Nintendo might eventually enter the VR market too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 The possibilities of VR is absolutely endless and I know very well that Nintendo has the IP and the creativity to make a huge impact in VR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
