Yes, the Nintendo Switch has VR compatibility, and in this video, I play every first party game that supports it. Does it work well, and should you try it yourself?

They've made some very disappointing decisions with those VR applications. Being able to play with nothing but attached joy-con in Smash Bros. is just inane! And Zelda would have been tons better if you could simultaneously look around naturally by turning your head and rotate the camera around Link with the stick, just like it is in Captain Toad. I suspect that they didn't do that because it would have needed more in-depth programming to change the camera behavior so much and things like camera culling etc.

I really hope that Nintendo is interested in trying VR again (they kind of tried it with the Mario Kart VR arcade which is exclusive to Japan), PSVR 2 showed so much potential for what VR can offer, Gran Turismo 7, Resident Evil: Village and Horizon Call of the Mountain is so amazing and immersive, but I think if there's one company that could revolutionize the VR market it's Nintendo, just imagine how awesome it would be to feel like you're actually in the world of Hyrule with VR. Funfact: Among the Nintendo Labo, the VR Kit was the best seller (and the one that received the most compatible games, even having some games from third-party companies)

Smash bros being locked to only attached joycons is because the headset is poorly designed itself, and has no straps holding it up to your head If you played without joycons attached the headset would literally have to magically float for you to be able to play

My hopes are for the next nintendo console to ve pretty much a VR Switch (abandoning the switch form factor will be stupid at this point IMO, and the switch whole deal is multiple ways of playing in one device, putting VR on it feels like a pretty obvious next step in both concept and design...) and for it to came on launch with Metroid Prime 4, like twilight princes and breath of the wild did in the past, coming for 2 generations of nintendo consoles. Throw in there Mario Kart VR and it that thing would sell 100+ million units with no sweat...

Great breakdown! I totally agree with all of it, but Labo VR is super fun! It's like Wario Ware for VR with lots of micro games (some better than others) and a few longer experiences. I had a blast with the dedicated blaster game! I played that one quite a few times, but pumping the gun into my face made my nose hurt after while. If you're curious about VR on Switch, Labo VR is definitely the game to get. Just be aware that crafting the different cardboard devices takes a really long time, but that's just of the experience. If you don't have a lot of time on your hands, just get the basic VR blaster kit without the other peripherals.

Just here to complain about the quest 2. The default head strap doesn’t work well with the shape of my head. No matter how I set it, it rests almost all the weight on my forehead and it hurts after just a few minutes. After playing for a while I can get anything between the classic red marks to a headache depending on how long I played. I’ll have to buy a new head strap if I want a confortable experience. The game library is massive but maybe you will have to buy extra accessories for the headset to be comfortable. Think about that before buying a quest 2

I mean any game with motion control can be played in “vr” if you have a cheap customized headset. I got mine from a dinosaur book thing which I gutted and cut up until I liked it. So, games like Metroid prime or Doom (2016) can be played in “vr” Now I have that custom headset and a switch lite, which fits with the headset, and I believe this allows me to connect separate joycons to my device and I think it could work, I don’t have separate joycons right now however

Yes and no. The switch would need a camera based solution, because tracking everything via gyro input is pretty much impossible. If the next switch was built like a pimax portal, then it would be ideal

@der_noa Жыл бұрын

@@smittyvanjagermanjenson182 well yeah, the switch is only ideal in concept and not in practice. It should have a camera or something else for tracking purposes but it's also missing a better resolution, frame rate, processing power or battery life. But luckily the switch's very core attribute and gimmick is that it's a modular console, meaning that if they really wanted to, they could've designed some VR glasses for the switch equipped with their own set of cameras as a sort of extension for the tracking system. And of they're low power enough, these cameras could be powered by the switch when its plugged but it would be even better if the glasses came with their own battery. Not only would this not drain the switch any further than it already does on its own but it might even aid the battery life and lower the drain rate for an hour or more

I've kinda just ignored everything VR related, really. Never tried any kind of setup that works with a cell phone. Never tried the dedicated PC setups like Oculus or... whatever the other one typically mentioned on VR games on Steam is. I did try the Virtual Boy that one time it was on a store display in Toys R Us when I was a kid and at the time I thought that was neat, but it had already been swept under the rug by the next time I went in there.

It's disappointing how half-heartedly they've treated their VR/3D experiments. With just a little more effort they could really push things. They could have copied the feature from BotW to TotK, or expanded it with an SBS mode for 3D displays. Have an alternative mode to swiveling around. Metroid Prime Remaster would have been a perfect fit (and needs justification for the $60 price tag). Smash Bros Ultimate bafflingly requires you to use connected joycons. LABO comes without a headstrap.
