We spent about 2.5 hours this afternoon just dicking around with the RC cars. If you've got kids (and a switch) then this is tremendous. So much content and so many options for creativity.

This was not the Nintendo VR I was expecting... but, hey, you gotta give it a chance. As yet no news / details on the software have been shared. Is it a mistake to link VR with Labo; or will this help keep the cost down?

Looks...interesting. It's a logical first step into VR for Nintendo, the Switch isn't powerful enough to do proper full on VR experiences but something like this is a good fit - will be quite cool to make different versions of the headset to try different experiences. Hopefully at least some of them relate to proper Nintendo franchises rather than just being the bland Wii Sports looking games we've seen so far in Labo.

I'm a little unsure about this as it feels like very tentative steps by Nintendo. They have, through speculation, been linked with VR and this first move seems almost hidden by the Labo link-up. I hate to say it but Labo itself was a (very) brief fad and it's hard to think that this new off-shoot will gain much traction.
Perhaps that's a little negative when we don't yet know much about it... we'll see!

Thinking about it, this is not really "Nintendo VR", it is "Labo VR". Approaching it this way will probably manage expectations; it is a small experiment rather than a whole new platform.

Full details
Toy-Con blaster......i bloody hope that leads to a new Duck Hunt game with optional Labo VR support
EDIT: Also, surely that camera is going to lead to a new Pokemon Snap? The Pokemon Direct did hint towards more Pokemon surprises on the way!

Labo stuff does tend to be pretty solid once built but I'm not sure I want to suspend my £280 console with some sticky tape, a box and some elastic bands.

I'll probably pick this up for my younger son for his birthday in April, he's been talking a lot about VR recently.

It's the most Nintendo way of doing VR I can think of so it's exactly the kind of thing I expect from them. They were never going to start with a normal headset, simply because the Switch isn't powerful enough to do even basic "full VR".
I can't see it making a big splash. Partly because Labo so far hasn't and partly because it's VR and it's still niche.
Still as an experimental way of them dipping their toes in it's not bad. I'll probably pick up the full set at some point.
