NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Cess007]

Damn, some people guessed right that the VR was Labo related.

 

[PlayBee]

The VR stuff could really only have been this and I still can't imagine it being a great experience.

First person star tropics in vr

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

[SolidChamp]

Whoa. Home brew people were calling it, right? Or am I speaking nonsense?

 

[Sagadego17]

[Eslayer]

[--R]

These are so cursed, holy shit.

 

[Nitpicker_Red]

Putting the "experimental" in "Laboratory"

 

[Brofield]

POKEMON SNAP VR AND I'M BUYING THE CARDBOARD

 

[AnonymousApple]

Need to see some of the games first. Interested otherwise, particularly because I don't think this'll be as expensive as the other kit (particularly the Starter Kit w/ only the headset and Blaster).

 

[Dyle]

Holy shit I can be an elephant, finally a true sequel to Tembo the Badass Elephant. Kind of weird that there's no trailer or gameplay footage

 

[GrimGrinningGuy]

Need a video

 

[JayBee]

This is pretty clever

For me personally the original labo wasnt worth my time while this is way more apealing

 

[Masterspeed]

Oh god... the resolution... OH GODDD

 

[jett]

I'm sure it will be great and not at all garbage.

 

[Ferrio]

Thanks Nintendo, I already have to explain to people that Virtual Boy isn't real VR...now this.

 

[LycanXIII]

Stick your face in that bird's ass.

 

[Kouriozan]

No, not you too Nintendo, I thought you wanted to be different T-T
RIP your eyes I guess.

 

[srtrestre]

that rumor was Very Real

 

[jman2050]

Well that happened.

 

[Buff DrinkLots]

Nintendo Cardboard?

 

[Deleted member 8593]

nobody:

nintendo: vr is cool but it's missing a fucking bird

 

[Comic Obsessed]

Huh, the rumours were right.

And that actually looks like R.O.B.

 

[Proteus]

And there it is.

What do we think? Is this going to bring people around to Labo?

 

[Maximum Spider]

I'm confused.Why are people complaining?

 

[Murugo]

Google did it first.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Do we expect 480p or 360p.

 

[James3D]

Yes!!! I can't wait! Nintendo VR, again at last!!

 

[mjw]

That certainly looks clunky

 

[EJS]

Kind of curious about this, actually..

 

[MegaXZero]

Pretty neat, but lol wasn't this called hard?

 

[--R]

Stick your face in that bird's ass.

Gotta watch that cloaca closely.

 

[Defect]

That's something huh

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

Can't wait for the VR Rodeo from Giant Bomb on this!!!!!!

 

[Jessie]

This is exactly what I expected.

 

[Nzyme32]

That is going to be some hideous quality, but still pretty fun, and overpriced considering google cardboard

 

[Deleted member 5491]

Can't wait for the Labo/VRodeo Stream at Giant Bomb

 

[Muffin]

That doesnt look uncomfortable at all

 

[AnonymousApple]

Starter Kit is $40
The full kit is $80

 

[flyinj]

Great. Now we get a whole new deluge of people who are going to say that VR sucks after trying it once on a bunch of cardboard taped to a switch.

 

[Meg Cherry]

It's definitely more "ViewMaster" than VR - but this will probably be decently fun for kids.

 

[Deleted member 249]

Let's take two things that utterly failed to gain the expected market traction and put them together, that'll go well

 

[Plum]

I'm down for this shit; even if the VR quality's bad I just really want to see what "Nintendo VR" looks like.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Figured this would be it.

Yikes.

 

[Jahranimo]

Whoa. Home brew people were calling it, right? Or am I speaking nonsense?

Yeah, VR Mode was indeed just sitting in the back of the Switch settings chillin since 2017.

I'm VERY curious how these games will look.
