Round 3 baby!

Good little novelty thing, that still will do not much. Labo 3 seems to be best attempt.

I like how people are overblowing the significance of this. It's a cheap way to introduce VR to youth. The same way the Labo Garage was a cheap and fun way to introduce programming concepts to youth. This is obviously not a full fledged attempt at the full fat VR and how could it be? I think it'll do 1M+ units across all skus and be a profitable side hustle for Nintendo.

LOL, Nintendo trolls everyone. The most hardcore of the hardcore tech - VR - finally comes to Switch... with the kids toy Labo.

Yeah well, I know it is only a small dabbling into VR, not a serious attempt, but it is so funny anyways. And if made well, I might even give it a try. Or not. We'll see.

I see, instead on investing on more IP's, they decided to keep pushing with this cardboard nonsense........

Their IPS are fine though, these small experiments are fun to look at

As if Nintendo has never done stuff like this in the past with the NES or SNES. Or even farther back when they were as...toy company?

Cool. Not for me though.

Yes, because an introductory technology for kids is always a bad thing /S. Are you scared of how this will impact your adult, expensive technology kit or something?

Nobody is going to look at this and think a $2000 (PC + VR kit) VR experience is going to be equitable.  Or do you also think people would drive a crap car and think all cars are crap. Listen via cheap, crappy headphones and think all headphones are crappy. 

Cheap, entry level iterations of technologies do not in themselves make the overall technology look bad.

Cars and headphones (speaker tehcnology) went through decades of expenisve iterations and revision before cheap knock off came along and the original tech was in a position not to be threatened. VR does not have that luxury. 

VR is not going to live or die because Nintendo sold 100,000-150,000 Labo units. VR will die on its own merit of price,software and appeal.
