Mario Kart Arcade GP VR coming to London O2 (Aug 3rd)
- Thread starter Arthands
- Start date
While I also wish that was the case, where would they even put it? The Switch doesn't have VR.
But I do hope they release the arcade in more locations.
I'm not sure if they're all like that but these arcade mario kart games are pretty shit surpring so I hope it's improvement. They also force you to cough money to continue even if you ace the game.
They patented a Switch VR peripheral. it'd be pretty low res though lol
StarFox should also be VR
Maybe in a Switch 2, doubt it's going to happen with the current one, especially given the statements by Nintendo themselves regarding VR.
But yes SFVR should be a thing.

Then by home you mean someone making a backup of the arcade and making it run on any common pc (I understand it's running on windows so that shouldn't be too difficult I guess). I thought you meant a official release.

I mean an official release. HTC Vive vr headset is also available for purchase for home private use.
That's not happening, forget about it. Nintendo will never allow it.

I once thought Nintendo will never release their games on smartphone too, and its not like Nintendo is going to release any vr headset anyway so i figure its not much of an issue. please let me dream.

There's a video of the machine and game. Its already available in Japan Tokyo
Played it in Tokyo and enjoyed it a lot. The VR looked nice and grabbing items out of the air worked fairly well. I feel like it needed to be just a little longer so that you could get a feel for everything before starting, so that you could actually make the items matter, but otherwise it was a good time.

Its a home arcade game running on a HTC Vive with PC, and Nintendo has no VR. I am struggling to see why will anyone get unhappy if it happens.

I love the concept, but I am all set with putting on a HMD that's been worn by thousands of strangers.
It's not really a port when it already runs on the hardware. It's just releasing a game that is already 100% done, for sale. :)
It's not port begging when the game is literally already on the platform. Literally the only platform it is on , even.
This isn't running on Nintendo hardware.
I just realized the Peach's Castle there looks similar to the Mario + Rabbids one. I forgot how it looks in Super Mario Odyssey.
It reminds of when they licensed a bunch of their NES games to Hudson to release on PC88, X1 and FM7.
I think the best we can hope for in America is for it to get installed in Universal's Nintendo Land thing.
Off-topic but man that version of Super Mario was really weird with it's screen scrolling stuff. No wonder Nintendo and Hudson never bothered porting that anywhere else.
Anyway, minds would explode if Nintendo allowed this to be on steam or something, they won't though.
I played this at the Namco Shinjuku VR Zone and it was a lot of fun. The sense of scale was unreal.
You get your own paper face mask so the VR goggles don't make contact with anybody's face. Better?
I mean, what's to stop Nintendo releasing a 'VR labo' with lenses you slide the base switch screen into? It would be a bit rudamentary, but cheap on their end and could get some neat ideas out there.
Really just curious to see what the 'Nintendo approach' to VR would look like.

It's coming to the US now, to Washington DC.
