Forums - Nintendo Discussion - What if NX is a VR device?

It's not.



Around the Network

Well, like I said, It could be anything at this point!



Pocky Lover Boy! 

No thanks enough people are already invested into the VR craze, let Nintendo do something else please!



Not the slightest chance, sorry.



Nope.

1. A 10 year regression ( or a regression of any kind) in graphics, resolution and processing power is just unheard of. Nintendo would literally be commiting suicide.

2. It could have Wii graphics and it would still cost upwards of $249 if they wanted to do VR properly with full head tracking, camera, motion controls etc and still profit.

3. Nintendo would exclude the vast majority of gamers and their hardcore fans by making the basis of their next console VR based.



Around the Network

Nintendos target group consists of many many children. The manufacturers of VR devices advise that their systems should not be used by children at the age 13 or under, because until this day it is unclear whether it may or may not influence the development of young children. On top of that, with children in your target audience, you'll want to be cheap, because children don't have much money. VR isn't cheap, it's expensive as fuck.

Bottom line, no chance in hell.



Official member of VGC's Nintendo family, approved by the one and only RolStoppable. I feel honored.

They've pretty much already confirmed there's no VR device coming in the near-term from them, the technology isn't social enough as far as Nintendo are concerned. That suggests (as we should expect) they've already been doing R&D with VR and have decided it's not a part of NX from day one, at least.



NO!. . . just no.

What about a two part controller with detachable free form display. So it becomes a traditional Controller without screen and a portable console or Wii u gamepad type controller



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also
