I've been saying the Switch is likely to support VR for a long time and as I said before I won't be surprised if the surprise is VR.
This to me makes the Switch an absolutely brilliant gaming option. Google cardboard does work but controllers and setting up etc can be time consuming and results vary. This is a VR solution that is simply slot in and play and low cost. Virtual Reality is amazing and no reason to think the Switch won't be amazing too. I'm absolutely hyped for this now that VR is confirmed.
I think the Switch may have a 1080p screen but even with 720p its not a deal breaker for decent VR. Yes the pixels will be larger but it doesn't mean it won't be a great gaming experience. Christ, the crappy little low res screens some of the Nintendo portables have had. It's still going to be a minimum of 640x720 per eye at 720p. It could even be a screen resolution between 720p and 1080p.
