“VR offers new ways of playing, but that depends on what kind of software can be played. If you ask us whether there are any possibilities, we can’t say no. It may be that we will build VR software titles, I think that opportunity is available to us.”

Kimishima also said the following about Switch:

“One thing we still can’t show is the software lineup. We want people to touch the device in January and experience the software for themselves.”

“What you see in the video, however, is the core product.”

This either means that the Switch HAS SCDs OR that Nintendo won't work in the VR market in the next 5 or so years...

I hope that means they might do a revision (or a sequel) with a higher resolution display and not expecting to give people a VR experience with 720p resolution. Or that they will make titles for other platforms like Gear VR similarly to what they are doing currently with mobile. Cause the VR experience would be terrible at 720p, specially since its not OLED.

I think they are working on a cheap solution right now.

As someone who's not interested in VR, I would rather want them to make the Switch successful on its own before experimenting with VR. Priorities, please.

I think Nintendo is big enough to have different groups of research and development, probably working on the next version of the switch too.

I think he made it pretty clear that software is their only realistic option.

well to use the software you need some kind of device right? and they are not going to use playstation vr or oculus.

Virtual Boy 2.0?
