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
The big cardboard LABO VR blaster is fun. Is a lot of work to make though. But once made, is not bad. Is the best experience I had with any Switch VR game.
The reason you can only play smash handheld in vr, is because the nintendo labo headset DOESNT have straps, so you have to hold the headset up to your face (unless you use a 3rd party headset), I KNOW THIS because i had (and have) every single Nintendo labo set
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...
Even tho BOTW's VR option looks poor, I think it would be really interesting to use the 1st person perspective glitch with the VR Headset, it would probably be as immersive as you could get on the switch software right now.

I don't think they're likely to even look at VR seriously until they're last to the race. They use tried old boring technologies and give them a twist, so we'll see serious Nintendo VR gaming when everyone and your grandma has a VR headset. In addition to that, any VR they'd put out now would compete with the Quest 3, PSVR2 and the likes which would make it either too expensive for what Nintendo is doing or too shitty to consider. VR isn't yet at the stage where the kind of audience Nintendo is interested in would buy several VR headsets the same way they'd buy a PC, PlayStation and a Nintendo console
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.
I actually wish they would do more. I liked playing BotW in VR a lot though I had to play laying down but I found that the sense of scale is properly realized. I found it really cool
I have the full VR labo set, and it was loads of fun to make all the toy-cons and then be able to use them in VR. But once you have an actual headset like the Quest 2, the labo kit starts to lose its charm. Still fun to make, but you can also get the variety pack, or the vehicle kit, and use those in Mario Kart.
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
Sucks that they didn't have the lite in mind. I had fun with the labo blaster honestly. The cardboard was fun, you're not a fan of solid snake I see. Building was fun and more affordable than vr2
@ego-lay_atman-bay there is a dying word called compatibility. Was nice to use the lite gyroscope with new pokemon snap at least though some of those things were way too hidden.
@ego-lay_atman-bay no I meant that when I play new pokemon snap, I can move the system itself to turn and take pics even on a switch lite due to gyroscopes that weren't even necessary. It's a nice comparison honestly.
@@tim-kevinwahlert250 Huh, now that I think of it, you could only go to a "first person" view in BotW with the Sheikah Slate in telescope mode or camera mode. Previous games had you in first person for bows, hookshot etc. but BotW remains in third person.
@@IllegallyAcquiredKIA Nintendo is quite stubborn. They only included VR in BotW for novelty's sake while they were trying to sell Labo. But since Labo is already a thing of the past they have no reason to include a VR mode in TotK in their mind. Also it's a niche application which exceedingly few people would even use, so they're not going to spend time to make it.
I see a lot of potential in vr support like the joy cons would work like the normal vr control and you could just get a break and a console at the same time plus that touch screen Soooo much potential
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 think nintendo vr is a onest first try to vr games, most of the games are not adapted right but the labo offers lots of good minigames to try, sure is not like oculus, vive or psVR. But for trying for the first time vr and not spenting lot moneys I think is pretty good
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
@@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
You know this is beneficial for people that are just trying to play their favorite games but in the same time making sure that their health is stable because you are literally making exercises through playing your favorite games in VR you are in movement it could give some head sickness for moving that much but ones you keep playing it you get used to it so yeah it's a win win for some people that has the chance to have VR headset
I’m pretty sure the Nintendo Labo VR headset was designed for the switch and the every other VR headset wasn’t really made for it so if you try the cardboard, one is look better
This why I'm hoping the next Nintendo system is a switch built like a pimax portal. 6dof tracking and plenty of "quest 2-like" quality titles would work extremely well, while it could still be used as a hand held or on a TV for traditional games.
that was my first experience in vr and IDK why but i loved it so muche that i get myself a rift s(WHAT A WRONG IDEA) and now i want to switch to a valve index(i played Switch VR 2 years after buying a rift s and found it horrible), awesome video!
Having to used the joycons attached while switch stuck to the face is kinda hilarious. I guess there is/was an open position at Nintendo as a user experience designer
I’m still scratching my head as to why Nintendo sold a VR headset… out of cardboard with the sheer lack of effort in the VR modes within a very limited selection of games; the Toy-Con VR Goggles almost seem like a self-deprecatory homage to Nintendo’s mistake with the Virtual Boy while dunking on VR gaming in general. 🤷🏻♀️
I vaguely recall seeing the Lab-O VR Kit before but I never considered buying it (or any of the other Lab-O stuff) and forgot it had ever been a thing until seeing it again just now. 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.
wait i just realized splatoon could be compatible because when you move the switch it moves with you they would just have to make the screen work with it
What is that narration technique you have where first half of sentence ends slightly higher (like raising a question) and then second half of sentence on a more resting tone (like an answer)?
@@DeluezeonestNintendo didn’t spend billions of dollars on research they wanted something cheap and accessible there’s a reason it’s only like 50 bucks
it's rather ironic that the best section of the first party VR supported bits was captain toads rail shooter thing. Because that's not even nintendo making something new for it. They just took the Wii U motion aiming of that section that worked exactly the same way, but put the screen right infront of your head
They could have made the joy cons into VR controllers easily. I don’t own this headset so I can’t say much, but what I think it’s they could have done a bit better
What Nintendo needs to do, remake the vitural boy, add a strap and two controllers, make multiple franchises like Splatoon or Mario kart into VR (and maybe the labor game but remade) and do that every once in a while, with remakes, boom. Oh and remake how it looksn
I wish Nintendo ported their 3DS and Wii U games to Meta Quest. The Quest feels like a Nintendo console with its precise motion controls and no-glasses 3D. Some Nintendo games feel like they were designed for VR. Metroid Prime feels weird with the Wii remote, but would be incredible in VR. Imagine Skyward Sword with perfect precision motion controls. Or look at Star Fox Zero. It’s a really weird game because the guns moved with the game pad and the screen moved with the controller. But this would work perfectly in VR. Not to mention 3DS games can be ported over without losing their 3D functionality. Imagine Kid Icarus uprising on a big screen. Or Mario Kart 7 in first person mode. I hope Nintendo takes VR seriously. I don’t think VR will ever become mainstream until Nintendo gets into it. Nintendo is the only company that makes 10/10 gaming masterpieces that use motion controls. Hopefully, now that Meta open-sourced HorizonOS, Nintendo will try making a real VR headset.
the fact that this thing is even worse than the virtual boy is astonishing. at least that thing had a stand and the controller wasn't bolted to the sides.
I saw the nintendo labo vr as the second iterationof google cardboard. Remember that. It was cardboard with lenses and the display was your smartphone. Of course since your smrtphone's display is essentually cut in half to display the same image twice it wasn't even 720p.
Yeah I've been wondering why wouldn't they release a NS 3D with a 720p 3D screen (as in, 2560*720 resolution, essentially 720p for each eye) just like 3DS. At this point, even the 3-yr-old Snapdragon XR2 (or SD 865) should be well capable of that when coupled with LPDDR5 memory. I think that would be far more practical and attractive than NS VR with 360p per eye, and given the patents and experience of Nintendo with 3DS, it shouldn't be too difficult to achieve. It seems they don't want to let go of that profit margin from the minimal specs of the current gen NS.
I presume they thought 3D was dying. But in reality, 3D will never die so long as people still have two eyes. People are willing to experience it so long as it's comfortable and immersive.
It wasn’t about being lazy it was about making something cheap and accessible that parents can get for their kids that won’t break the bank Idk how yall don’t get that I mean there’s a reason VR headsets are 600 bucks
It needs a 4k display with better hardware just to get a reliable 1080p x2 per eye experience. I am almost certain that the next one will. If the Pimax Portal can do it Nintendo can surpass it.
I wish but I don't think that's happening. Most likely than not nintendo wants to keep the price around 350$, I doubt they will dare to surpass 400$. Realistically, best case scenario if they try the "console that slots into headset" route, is 1440p IMO, and even that feels a bit hopeful, xD.
@@aritzmartinezrodriguez1825 Nah, I don't think they'd bother with VR if they can't get at least 1080psh x2 and that requires more than 1440p because of screen shape. We'll see but the Pimax Portal comes in around that costs with a 4k OLED and the headset. Nintendo definitely won't include any peripheral like that with the console. Also they aren't needing to profit off of console sales like Pimax is. Of course I'd expect the Nintendo to be much more powerful though .. they may take a loss this time like they used to do on their consoles.
the switch vr seemed like a cool concept when they talked about it. After watching this video I'd much rather stick to my standalone oculus and PC connection from the quest. It does seem like a cool concept but in practice it looks like its not that good and also when you factor in the switches hardware and capabilities maybe it could be better if Nintendo launches a switch pro with better hardware but we'll just have to wait and see.
So do you have to play all games in vr with the controls attached to your face? Cause I tried to play Mario and the only way I could was with the controllers attached to your face so it made it pointless
Nintendo should really make full fledged vr zelda and mario games. Where the game is based around vr, not like with BOTW where it seems like more of an afterthought
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.

Imagine Metroid Prime Remastered in VR. That'd be interesting
I’d pay for it
I kept thinking when I played it that I wish this had VR. Would be really fun, and enhance the atmuspahere.
Metroid Prime would be the perfect fit for VR
My thoughts exactly.
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.

I tried that, it was fun to see how big the stables look in first person VR
I tried It with a proper first person mod and it actually works pretty nice. Wouldnt play the whole game that way, but I definitely could
2:56 💀
The next Switch iteration could have decent VR. I want Mario Kart and Metroid Prime in VR
I really thought Mario kart 8 would support it, but I guess not. The 3ds Mario kart had a first person mode, but I guess they cut it.
@Jeremy Klinger It just makes sense. Endless fun that would be relatively simple to implement.
It definitely should!
Metroid Prime VR sounds so heavenly.

Even if both screens are 720p I imagine the OLED would look better?
Since the OLED's screen is larger, the image actually shrinks, meaning that less of the pixels are used
The daisy joke chaught me off guard XD
the Rosalina one you mean? 🍑
I love this guy
it's rather ironic that the best section of the first party VR supported bits was captain toads rail shooter thing. Because that's not even nintendo making something new for it. They just took the Wii U motion aiming of that section that worked exactly the same way, but put the screen right infront of your head
Thank you for shearing!
What if you want to play a game that isn't VR? Like Pokemon Snap and Mario Kart
Ummm, bad questions only here mister
Well, this was definitely worth a video.
2:58 AYO
720p cut in half for each eye is a terrible idea. Maybe switch 2 will come along to help it out?
how about minecraft VR on switch? is that a thing or not?
Don’t believe so, no. Same with that five nights at Freddy’s game.
Lol idk why my brain immediately went to first person smash lmao
Same! Such a letdown
2:56 i agree lol
Love the content!
Is this any better since the release of Switch OLED?
Vr didn’t changed anything it was abandoned at the moment it was released
You could un attach the joycons and use a connecty boi (not real name) to basically make a controller
They could have made the joy cons into VR controllers easily. I don’t own this headset so I can’t say much, but what I think it’s they could have done a bit better
Reflex Unit 2 was out on GearVR years ago. Long before it came to Switch. It was great on that.
1:45 that no though😂
Bro the mario oddesy in vr looked like astro boy rescue mission from PlayStation vr
For smash bros originally when I played it you could only view replays the must of changed it
What Nintendo needs to do, remake the vitural boy, add a strap and two controllers, make multiple franchises like Splatoon or Mario kart into VR (and maybe the labor game but remade) and do that every once in a while, with remakes, boom.
Oh and remake how it looksn
Fnaf help wanted on switch not having vr support is the biggest missed opportunity
I wish Nintendo ported their 3DS and Wii U games to Meta Quest. The Quest feels like a Nintendo console with its precise motion controls and no-glasses 3D.
Some Nintendo games feel like they were designed for VR. Metroid Prime feels weird with the Wii remote, but would be incredible in VR. Imagine Skyward Sword with perfect precision motion controls. Or look at Star Fox Zero. It’s a really weird game because the guns moved with the game pad and the screen moved with the controller. But this would work perfectly in VR.
Not to mention 3DS games can be ported over without losing their 3D functionality. Imagine Kid Icarus uprising on a big screen. Or Mario Kart 7 in first person mode.
I hope Nintendo takes VR seriously. I don’t think VR will ever become mainstream until Nintendo gets into it. Nintendo is the only company that makes 10/10 gaming masterpieces that use motion controls.
Hopefully, now that Meta open-sourced HorizonOS, Nintendo will try making a real VR headset.
There's an app called CitraVR that runs 3DS games on the Quest and it's incredibly good, especially Mario Kart 7's first-person feature.
the fact that this thing is even worse than the virtual boy is astonishing. at least that thing had a stand and the controller wasn't bolted to the sides.
Thanks for your honest review
I saw the nintendo labo vr as the second iterationof google cardboard. Remember that. It was cardboard with lenses and the display was your smartphone. Of course since your smrtphone's display is essentually cut in half to display the same image twice it wasn't even 720p.
Yeah I've been wondering why wouldn't they release a NS 3D with a 720p 3D screen (as in, 2560*720 resolution, essentially 720p for each eye) just like 3DS. At this point, even the 3-yr-old Snapdragon XR2 (or SD 865) should be well capable of that when coupled with LPDDR5 memory. I think that would be far more practical and attractive than NS VR with 360p per eye, and given the patents and experience of Nintendo with 3DS, it shouldn't be too difficult to achieve. It seems they don't want to let go of that profit margin from the minimal specs of the current gen NS.
I presume they thought 3D was dying. But in reality, 3D will never die so long as people still have two eyes. People are willing to experience it so long as it's comfortable and immersive.
It wasn’t about being lazy it was about making something cheap and accessible that parents can get for their kids that won’t break the bank
Idk how yall don’t get that
I mean there’s a reason VR headsets are 600 bucks
I 100% agree
6:54 mario be going wild 🥶
It needs a 4k display with better hardware just to get a reliable 1080p x2 per eye experience. I am almost certain that the next one will. If the Pimax Portal can do it Nintendo can surpass it.
I wish but I don't think that's happening. Most likely than not nintendo wants to keep the price around 350$, I doubt they will dare to surpass 400$.
Realistically, best case scenario if they try the "console that slots into headset" route, is 1440p IMO, and even that feels a bit hopeful, xD.
@@aritzmartinezrodriguez1825 Nah, I don't think they'd bother with VR if they can't get at least 1080psh x2 and that requires more than 1440p because of screen shape.
We'll see but the Pimax Portal comes in around that costs with a 4k OLED and the headset. Nintendo definitely won't include any peripheral like that with the console. Also they aren't needing to profit off of console sales like Pimax is. Of course I'd expect the Nintendo to be much more powerful though .. they may take a loss this time like they used to do on their consoles.
I didn't know this product existed, I only knew about the Labo ones.
the switch vr seemed like a cool concept when they talked about it. After watching this video I'd much rather stick to my standalone oculus and PC connection from the quest. It does seem like a cool concept but in practice it looks like its not that good and also when you factor in the switches hardware and capabilities maybe it could be better if Nintendo launches a switch pro with better hardware but we'll just have to wait and see.
bro you think the quest 2 is comfortable without any 3rd party straps?????
So do you have to play all games in vr with the controls attached to your face? Cause I tried to play Mario and the only way I could was with the controllers attached to your face so it made it pointless
0:09 into the video you just can buy the longest upp that one you buy was 28$ the one upp was 22$
Mine doesn't give me option for VR game but it's literally same game and same Nintendo switch .
This man just said he was "spoiled" while wearing a quest 2 with the default strap.
Have you tried with oled switch compared to normal one?
I have not, but I assume it’s mostly the same. All the vr games came out before the oled was released, and the screen isn’t a different resolution
Rosalina for something you wanna put on your face is so real
For smash if you open camera controls you can control where the hard point is
Add a projector so you wont fall in motion in the game console setup
It was a huge missed oportunity to not make the skyward sword remake vr compatible
I feel like vr in the future has some potential for nintendo but not as a actually console more as a extra feature
Nintendo should really make full fledged vr zelda and mario games. Where the game is based around vr, not like with BOTW where it seems like more of an afterthought
The knight of queen looks like some game you'd see in gumball
