There had been rumblings here and there recently that Nintendo would be looking to add some sort of VR solution to the Switch in the near future, while Nintendo themselves have, in the past, spoken about doing something along those lines, and now, they’ve officially confirmed it- well, sort of. It’s cardboard VR. But hey, it’s something.
In case you haven’t guessed, Nintendo have announced a VR Kit for Nintendo Labo, alongside six new Toy-Cons in conjunction, including Toy-Con VR Goggles, Toy-Con Blaster, Toy-Con Camera, Toy-Con Bird, Toy-Con Wind Pedal, and Toy-Con Elephant. A complete package of the required software, as well as all six Toy-Cons, retails for $79.99, while a starter kit, containing the software and two Toy-Cons – the Toy-Con VR Goggles and Toy-Con Blaster – retails for $39.99.
Both kits, of course, include a screen holder and a safety cap. Those who purchase the starter kit can choose to get the other Toy-Cons across two Expansion sets, each retailing for $19.99. It’s no Oculus, or PSVR, but it’s a good step- and definitely lends more value to the entire concept of Labo.
