With Nintendo Switch (NS) now a known device, we are still left with a ton of open questions regarding its specs, functionality and of course games. Nintendo is keeping quiet until 2017 on the rest of this information for reasons unknown, but it is likley just to allow themselves and their partners to focus on advertising holiday content instead of future content.

One feature I'd like to suggest based on what we know so far is VR.

The NS is tablet system with individually separate joy-con controllers. We know the screen size is around 6" based on several solid sources and we can assume the joy-cons have wiimoteplus-like motion functionality. The formfactor, Nintendo's history and Just Dance being a confirmed game all suggest that motion is included in this console.

So why do I think VR is also included? Phones.

That is the Google Daydream VR device. It is very similar to other VR devices from Samsung and other mobile companies. The device itself doesn't have any significant hardware as the hardware exists within the phone. The device is just headgear designed to allow VR via the phone.

Why can't NS do the same thing? 

It is a 6" tablet-ish device that is not much larger than most phones. Weight could be a factor of course. But the form-factor and the fact that it has two, seemingly perfect, motion-enabled controllers provides a lot of support to this theory. That and we know Nintendo has more secrets to tell us about.

Personally, I'm not interested in VR at all. If it did come with the system, I'd completely ignore the functionality. But that doesn't mean Nintendo couldn't technically do it and without much extra cost. The only additional cost would be the accessory that would be bought separately and therefore cover its own costs. 

Oh and don't toss out that it may not be powerful enough. NS is at worst as powerful as any phone on the market.

Well, where do you stand? VR or no VR in NS and why?

I wouldn't be suprised if Nintendo does that!... because look at joycon controllers.... lol 

Cause only the Screensize looks to be 6 inch while the rest of the tablet itself is bigger? Just seems pretty big to me and not to mention 720p resolution for VR is essh worthy at its finest.

I have tried 1080p phone VR before and that was not a good experience. At least PSVR has RGB sub pixels to make it less noticable but the NS doesn't have either OLED (most likely) or a good resolution like 1440p or higher for VR.

i don't know why people keep pushing this NS will have VR thing.

1. the VR would be crap.
2. VR is distinctly un-nintendo
3. nintendo has made several very negative comments on VR within the last year

Its just a theory man.

1. Tech is there but may be issues with the 720p screen.
2. VirtualBoy much?
3. I don't want to google it, but I know I've read quotes from Nintendo that were not negative in the slightest. More of interesting but not sure if time is right, etc. Granted, with the lack of interest in 3D gaming in their attempt with 3DS, they very well could be meh on trying another new visual gimmick.

I think VR could have saved Switch but I don't think it has it now and to be honest the Switch looks like a total train wreck. If the development kit spec is right its hopelessly underpowered and pretty retro hardware.

It would be better if people just refused to buy it and pushed Nintendo into being a third party developer/publisher.

Amazon did seem to think Switch would have VR but it would be madness for Nintendo to announce it without mentioning VR if it had it.

I just feel Nintendo have lost the plot.

I don't think its a product for the mainstream.. Nintendo fans only I think whose numbers seem to be shrinking every generation with the exception of the wii.

Why is this still happening? I thought it would be over after it was revealed.

Oh Archangel, how naive you can be.

It'll only get worse.

720p while perfectly fine for use as a standard portable is a really shitty screen resolution for VR, I don't see it happening.

VR and Nintendo? Nope, not happening. I think it's quite contrary to Nintendo's focus on social gaming.
