Labo VR |OT| Switch is now Virtual, Boy!
- Thread starter jts
- Start date
Yep. While I'd like to try making some stuff, the real draw of it would be to play other people's crazy creations. It's a huge missing feature for sure.
I tried to watch some 3D YouTube videos but it really didn't work... It's like the two images are not properly aligned so when I look through the lenses I see 2 pictures. Some were better than others, but generally it was awful. Anyone else have this issue?
It's generally pretty awful for most, which were made for Cardboard or another VR headset.
Was wondering if anything new was going to be added. Have Nintendo said anything about more content coming for this?It seems Nintendo are using the New Channel to deliver more minigames to users. A new post just popped up on my Switch which, when used to launch Labo VR, adds a new minigame. Pretty neat, and I hope it's not just a one off.
Every time I've tried to order this on Amazon it's been sold out, the full kit. So hoping to get a copy of this soon as I've been wanting to mess around with Labo for a while.
Mario/Zelda/Smash should not affect your decision. Those are short gimmicks that you will play for a few minutes then never touch again.
Only buy this if youre into the built-in VR games that come with the kit.

I'd say it's worth it but as the guy above me said Mario and Zelda are just tech demos essentially. The Mario one actually has some cool gimmicks in each level but it's definitely a do it once kind of thing. I've only briefly played Zelda and honestly it was so blurry I don't think it's worth it. It does add a nice 3DS-like depth effect which is cool.
Haven't touched Smash yet tho.
That being said for the price there's enough content to justify it on just cart it comes with. Especially if you consider the construction of the kit as part of the fun which I definitely do.
Decided to just cancel my full kit order on Amazon since its looking like it's not going to be back in stock for a long time if ever. Picked up the starter from Best Buy today. Putting together the goggles was fun. The VR itself was nice enough. Coming off returning a Rift S there is clearly a huge gap and they don't really compare but for what it is, and people assuming it couldn't be done, it was decent enough. The goggles are far more sturdier then I imagined. I want to play more of the games though but it's a nice novelty. The real star I think going forward is going to be the Garage section.
Maybe I'm wrong but I think that's been Nintendo's main goal here from the start and the card board really is just the Trojan horse here. I'm really looking forward to messing around with that. Will be putting the blaster together perhaps tomorrow if I have time.

I guess it's pretty telling as to how this did when it seemingly only had one run of stock...
Guess I'll just settle for the Starter Kit too at this point.

I've never seen the full kit in the store. I see the basic VR kit all of the time, though.
I found some shit to be heavy even as a 6 foot man, so I am sure its fine with adult supervision
Our local Media Markt is getting rid of Labo for 10€ apiece. I checked if they had the VR set, they didn't seem to. Later I found one anyway, but apparently it was the exhibition model and had already been built. But the salesman said he'd give it to me for 2€ since it's not new.
So now I have Labo VR and just played Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild. The resolution is terrible, of course, but it's still kinda fun. Especially at that price.
I was looking forward to building it myself, however.

Bestbuy has the starter blaster for 50% off ( $39.99 $19.99). Bought one since i've always wanted to try it and it's cheap enough. Hopefully this gets supported with Pokemon Snap.
I have a gut feeling that the labo stuff is gonna go out of stock eventually and go way high in price.
Already have the deluxe VR kit and I'm not interested in the robot kit but I may look into one of the other two.

Yeah the labo stuff has been this price off and on for a few months now. The only one I haven't seen go on sale for 20 bucks is the full VR kit.
