Dante for Smash - DMC4 and DmC for Switch
Sora for Smash - KH Story so Far for Switch
I hope so
calling it now.
there will be a Snap like game in the kit, but it wont use Pokemon since Nintendo does not seem to include Main IP in Labo minigames, so we are gonna get a repeat of "why isnt this a Pilotwing/Excitebike game inside labo" just this time with a franchise that is actualy relevant in this century.
I am skeptical
Hasn't Dante already been deconfirmed?
We only got vague answers. They said "if you want Dante in Smash, ask Capcom to port DMC games to Switch". No way there are no DMC ports in works for Switch. It's the next logical step after Dragon's Dogma and RE. I think they're teasing us.
No, there are just hints about many third party announcements during the month. Most people expect a Direct in April or May, before E3, but they are just speculations by now.
Some are hinting a Labo announcement, but it's not clear if this month or later.
Some more information about the Nintendo Labo VR Experience Kit:
- One of the cameras is a VR headset type camera with two JoyCon attached to the sides of the Switch body. They poke out the sides of the system and you peer through two large round viewfinders.
- Another camera is a "standard" camera. Looks a bit like a point-and-shoot camera.
- Not sure about these two as I couldn't get a good look, but there appears to also be a "big camera" and a "bird camera."
- They're all unashamedly Labo-styles. Kits' colours are orange, blue, black, and red.
These are the four types of cameras included with the VRX. All four are pictured on the box.
That's probably all the information I am willing to leak about this for now.

Seems like a weird ass kit, mate... The more I read about that, and the less convinced I am. Really unfortunate, I love Labo. If this bombs, I hope it won't be the end of Labo all together.
That's it! It's a *little* different (more colourful), but basically the same thing.It's likely this
That's how you know it's Labo and a Nintendo product.
Did you expect an Oculus product? lol
No. I was just hoping we would get something closer to the first variety pack for example.
That being said, I haven't seen kit #4 so I'm very much willing to be surprised.
Complete summary of the Labo VR leak below:
Yesterday –
Today –
- The new Nintendo Labo kit is called "Toy-Con 04: VR 体験". Literally, "Toy-Con 04: VR Experience".
- Contrary to other reports, not compatible with other software (unless it's tucked away on the packaging).
- 4 camera kits included in the box.
- As you would expect it's completely cardboard.
- Set colours are orange, red, black, and blue.
ToyCon 1: VR camera
- A VR headset* type camera with two JoyCon attached to the sides of the Switch body.
- Rather than wear it like a conventional VR headset, it appears that you hold the camera in front of your face a la Virtual Boy.
- JoyCon poke out the sides of the system
- You peer through two large round viewfinders.
ToyCon 2: Standard camera
ToyCon 3: Big camera
ToyCon 4: Bird camera
- Somebody posted an image of this, so looks like Nintendo has shown it before. Its design has changed slightly. More colourful too.
----------
Sorry that I can't provide specifics on the software itself. If somebody would like to compile this into a better place than this thread, feel free.
I was verified earlier in the thread, though the exact information itself cannot be confirmed.
That's it for now. Don't want the ninjas to catch on.

Thanks, I'll be adding all of this in the Rumor Archive pretty soon ;)
A 4 camera Labo Kit. Eh definitely not what I was expecting in terms of what came with the kit.
Nintendo doesn't see any reason to tie their IP's to this. Only use it as an add on in some other games.

That's awesome, thank you!
As for ToyCon1, I'm guessing you're simply holding the Switch as in handheld mode right in front of your face while the cardboard are two big viewfinders attached to the Switch body. Just using the main Switch unit as a VR headset while having the joy-cons on your hands would have been cooler but I guess the Switch is too heavy for that so no headseat, you simply hold it with your hands and you're able to rest all time.
Well my dream of this being something like a take on the Everybody's Golf VR game seems like it won't come to fruition. Or like some sort of Virtua Boy sports take. Not sure how interested in a camera I'd be.
Edit: awesome leak though! Really appreciate you sharing it.

This camera was also shown in the reveal trailer along with the bird.
Fuck Pokemon snap, where's my Pokemon Stadium 3 with all the multiplayer mini games fucking damn it.
It will be VR exclusive and you'll have to buy Labo 4 to play it
Assuming that leak's legit it sounds like the VR would be more of a novelty than Nintendo's actual answer to VR, if you have to stand there using your hands to prop it up you can't exactly be handling controllers at the same time (unless they legitimately just release a Virtual Boy stand for it which would be a Choice)
I kinda prefer it that way, it makes it seem more like a cute optional viewfinder than something that'll be required to enjoy any big games. If Nintendo properly enters VR, I want it to be with actual interesting hardware and not cardboard

This could well be Nintendo dipping their feet into VR if this actually sells I think then with the new people at the helm this could produce amazing results going forward.
You know that this is going to be the one to include Nintendo IPs and have some add on functionality going forward.
I remember Emily saying next Labo will be something totally different and will latch on to some Nintendo IPS instead of just being a stand alone product.

Yep. The Switch just isn't powerful enough for VR that competes with PSVR, Oculus, and HTC. It can't even compete with smartphone VR with that 720p screen. Some novelty minigames through Labo is the best approach for them until the next generation of Nintendo consoles.
I would love for smaller VR games, maybe focus on 2D VR games (ala Virtual Boy) or something that the Switch could potentially handle
There's a rumor that Platinum is working on Viewtiful Joe 3, might be Switch exclusive.
Yeah, someone I trust has heard about it. Others here have as well.
...how many teams do platinum has?
Confirmed:
A game for SEGA
A game for Nintendo
Rumored:
A game for Capcom
And a game for who knows is paying for scalebound's spiritual sucessor
I don't think we know, but they've had no issue releasing 2-3 games a year before.
This would be not Bayonetta level meltdown for Interwebs, but almost :D
Really hoping it to be true just for the lols
You think people are going crazy for just a fighting game that isn't Smash Bros?
Is there a chance of a Nindies Showcase this month ?
We have multiple US indie games waiting for a realase date, including Slay the Spire and Katana ZERO.
Mega Crit on Twitter said last month about Slay the Spire on Switch :
"Waiting on our console publisher to allow us to say official dates. "
Then on Feb 28th : "Our publisher has informed us that console date announcements need to be pushed to March. "
Askiisoft about Katana ZERO on Feb 27th : "some exciting news coming mid March, including console plans and an exact launch date reveal"
I've heard about one or two other US indie games in a similar case.
This hints at a Nindies Showcase in the middle of next week (13th or 14th).

I don't think VJ 3 would be Switch exclusive. It seems like something that'd be multiplat unless Nintendo put money to it.
We haven't had one this year (from Nintendo of America). Also, I want to see what Shinen is working on. They've been working on a new game for 2 years now. I could see them having a game done to release this year.
Please I want another Nindies Presentation. I want to see Kentucky Route Zero. IF you start finding info of different indie devs hinting at news coming around the same time period then that helps to point to a Nindies Presentation coming. It sounds like we could get a Nindies Showcase next week.

If VF3 is Switch exclusive that would be kind of a dick move given the previous two were on Ps2. Though the original was supposed to be exclusive to the GameCube, so it would be a reverse dick move.
Whatever, I hope VF3 is a real thing, the first 2 were incredible and Hulk Davidson had one of the best boss battle intro I can recall. Davidson is in the house! Hulk Davidson is born to be wild!
