| Soundwave said: I don't think VR is going to happen. 720p is too low of a display resolution and Miyamoto shit on VR again by saying no to Mario on VR: http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2016/09/07/mario-creator-miyamoto-pokemongo-george-lucas-and-bluegrass/89977912/ I think the "gimmick" outside of the hybrid portable nature of the system will be the detachable side controllers. Nintendo and 3rd parties will be able to make all sorts of different controllers that can change the controls for different games. It's very toy-like and very much in Nintendo's vein. |
Amazon are certainly expecting it to be VR and big retailers like Amazon often get information from console manufacturers before consumers for obvious reasons.
It's only a 1080p panel in the Playstation VR set so for a more budget orientated VR system 720p is fine not that we know its 720p it could well be something like 1600x900 so 800x900 per eye. Not as good as 960 x 1080p per eye but hardly a world apart. Admittedly more like 1280 x 800 though which is 640 x 800 per eye. Tablets with those panels are as low as £40. Remember this will be basic entry level VR system above google cardboard type VR but not as good as dedicated VR visors.
All nintendo have to do is fit the required electronics in the tablet to respond to head movement etc.
Pretty sure VR is likely to be in the mix otherwise I think its going to die horribly without an appealing new feature.
