this is idiotic on so many levels. And If nintendo goes through with this it will be just an attempt of cash grap, like all their accessories,
1. First of all the weight of the screen with sealed battery would make it unbearable to have on your face.
2. So many people are dismissing the screen door effect on a 6 inch 720p LCD screen, Not even an OLED screen with RGB pixel arrangement could offset that low resolution.
3. Is Nintendo Switch screeen even capable of outputting above 60fps, considering fps required for a VR game is above 90fps and even PS4 needs a separate box to achieve that.

 

The reasons you give are all definitely problems a Switch VR would have to overcome. Nintendo did say they are "looking into" VR for Switch. They said the system itself is powerful enough to do VR, but they oddly did not say anything about the screen resolution.

I never said tegra chip inside couldnt handle a basic VR Game.. I m talking about the hardware limitation which Switch has. like screen refresh rate and resolution, trust me I have a 5.9 inch screen nexus 6 which has an amoled 1440p screen, still it shows screen door effect and the weight is too much to handle. The only way this can be fixed is by a future hardware revision.
