Possible VR mode coming to Switch?
- Thread starter Meelow
- Start date
The very first Oculus Rift dev kit actually had this screen res. It was kind of terrible in retrospect, but sufficient as a proof of concept.
VR is just another gimmick.
It would not affect me for it being on the Switch but I don't want it either.

It would be the lowest end of VR... But is not unplayable. I've played some games and watched adult videos using a headset that uses my mobile and is pretty passable. A headset for a standdarised screen-mobile like Samsung Gear VR would be the perfect fir for Switch.
There is that Nvidia VR patent that's supposed to enhance image quality for lower resolution screens.
I spent more time playing gimmicks the last 2 years than I spent playing "real games". I also don't need it on the Switch, but mainly because of the resolution. If they decided to roll with it though more power to those who would be interested.
It isn't a gimmick when done properly. Room scale VR feels like the future.
This confirms it, because Nintendo loves to add gimmicks to their hardware.
I could totally see this being a thing that Nintendo just throws out as an experiment.
As someone who needs a good single player mode in my Smash, it better goddamn not be
The Switch can't do 1080p on most games, how can it possibly have enough power for a VR headset?
Lol the guy calling VR a gimmick. Because of the new ways I've been able to play games only possible in VR, I will be enjoying VR for the rest of my gaming life right alongside "regular" gaming. It'd be a gimmick if it did nothing to change the way we play games. If you really believe that, you're ignorant.
On topic: I'm a Nintendo head and a VR fanatic, I'd be hype about Nintendo VR even on the Switch's 720p screens. Maybe this would work with that VR software thingy Nvidia has that apparently improves the image quality of lower red screens in VR. Or maybe this is being tested for a future higher res Switch.

it would be super low end, budget ass VR with that screen. Not something I can see Nintendo doing. When they do something they usually do it with a certain level of polish.
Such a shitty take that refuses to die off. Guessing you've never experienced actual 6DOF VR.
This makes no sense.
To be fair, it can be both.
Imagine not knowing what gimmick means.
Again, it seems you guys have an issue with the word. And yes, I've tried VR and I was not impressed, it was derivative to me instead of revolutionary. Different perspectives I guess.
Just to clarify this is the meaning of gimmick:
gim·mick
ˈɡimik/
noun
- a trick or device intended to attract attention, publicity, or business.
synonyms: publicity stunt, contrivance, scheme, stratagem, ploy;
informal shtick
"the trivia contest was a gimmick to sell more newspapers"
Gimmick is not a negative word, but I've seen gamers offended by it somehow.
On topic, as I said before, the Switch doesn't actually need it, but I can see why some people would want it.
Knowing Nintendo, they would built a console around the idea of VR instead of trying to stack on it, but we never know!
Yeah, even with your definition you are still wrong.
A lot of transcendant experiences in VR, dismissing it as a gimmick is ridiculous.
You already said that's just a dev kit, which means not a retail product.
Though I'm sure VR could technically work on Switch, I really doubt it would be a good experience (low res screen + heavy hardware). Which sucks because I'd like to see what Nintendo would do with the format.
Are you trying to tell me you weren't trying to use the word "gimmick" as a negative in that post right before saying "I don't want it"? lol cmon.
I'm kinda guessing here, but I think you should probably value your life more than not doing VR in 720p.
