Out of curiosity has anyone played Agards Wrath or RE4 via VR? Those are two games that have peaked my curiosity.

I only started Asgard's Wrath 2, and it's been sitting there for a while, though honestly can't wait to get back to it, but currently I just don't have time to get into, given that it is quite lengthy game (the way I play such games, I know I'd be in the upper part of its scale, which is 120+ hours).

An optional dock pro that substantially increases processing.

Hard to compete with Apple given they have a device (iPhone) that people carry with them all the time and even Apple Watch is quite popular and common these days too ... the best fitness device is one you have with you all the time (to track steps walked, etc.). It would be a pain in the ass to carry a Switch around to track all that. 

Peloton is struggling massively right now, their stock went from like $159/share during the pandemic to now being only $4.35 (yikes!). Total pandemic boom product. 

Fitness is a lucrative market, but it's very much a boom/bust market too, even Nintendo found out the hard way that all those Wii fitness buffs did not come back for Wii Sports Club and Wii Fit U. 

Yes.

As some have said, Nin could just leave Switch as it is, but upgrade the performance so it's as next gen as possible, for a reasonable price, and it'll sell.

Knowing Nin, and how creative they like to be, I can't see them simply upgrading Switch, but having an optional GPU boost dock wouldn't mess with the handheld portion at all and would offer a new gimmick, without it really being a gimmick this time.

If you want Switch 2 level performance on a big TV screen through the stock dock, then you've got it out of the box. If you want far better visuals on a big TV screen, then purchase the 'expansion' dock.

This could also be something where 3rd parties who didn't want to port games down to Switch performance levels, and feel the same about Switch 2, could potentially port to Switch 2 expansion dock levels if Nin would let them. Just like how some games for the N64 needed the expansion cartridge. For Switch 2, some games could require the expansion dock. All Nin has to do is explain those types of games wouldn't come to the platform if the dock didn't exist. If you want those games on Switch 2, you purchase the expansion dock and play them on the big screen TV.

I hope it doesn't have another gimmick. Just improvements to the original Switch would be good enough for me.

I only started Asgard's Wrath 2, and it's been sitting there for a while, though honestly can't wait to get back to it, but currently I just don't have time to get into, given that it is quite lengthy game (the way I play such games, I know I'd be in the upper part of its scale, which is 120+ hours).

Yeah, there isn't really a cost efficient way other than those dumb mall rides to demo VR to a lot of people. PS4 or PS5 VR you have to pay hundreds of extra dollars on top of the console and the headset is tethered to the console so you can't freely move around. PS4 VR in particular was an enormous mess of cables, a total turn off. 

Meta Quest is more consumer friendly, but still it's strictly a VR only device for $200-$400+, how are you supposed to invest several hundred bucks if you don't even know you like VR in the first place. Meta Quest feels like the Wii successor console in a lot of ways that never was (sorry Wii U). 

Apple Vision Pro is gaining a lot of media attention and Tiktok/Instagram attention is from all reports a pretty mind blowing product, but it's a high, high end luxury product at this point at $3500 to just start and probably needing several hundred dollars more in accessories (carrying case, prescription lenses if you wear glasses, probably need Apple Care for a device that expensive, etc. etc.). When it's gen 2/3 and Apple can get the price down then they'll probably be a ton of interest but for now there's definitely an open window. 

A Switch 2 VR could really help get the tech out at least so people can try it for 15-30 minute bites of time and really there are a ton of Nintendo IP that could wow people in VR. Even like Switch Sports ... you think Wii tennis and bowling was something, there are simple tennis and bowling games on Meta Quest that blow the shit out of Wii Sports/Switch Sports. Nintendo could make something that really feels like you are on a tennis court with a real tennis racket in your hand or in a real bowling ally.

And it could in theory be done in a much more cheap way. The cheapest way is to just use a plastic headset and let the Switch 2 be the VR screen (at 1080p it'll be OK, same resolution as the PS4 VR). And it's a plus, it can add some extra dimension (literally) to games like Mario Kart, Metroid Prime 4, but it doesn't have to be the whole cake, it can be a nice new feature and then you still have a Switch 2 that you can use as a home/portable/VR console. That's a better value proposition to a lot of people than like say Meta Quest where well it's basically only a VR headset, you can't use it for anything else. 

I'm expecting VR.

I'm not sure if they are crazy enough to make something like a self-contained Switch Core Unit (containing all the necessary processing hardware inside of it), that you can then plug either into Switch Tablet or Switch VR, but some sort of VR set, like there are many out there for phones, might work, especially if they limit themselves to games like Moss, Astro Bot, and generally 3rd person perspective, instead of first person experiences (which would require for Switch 2 to have quite good Inside-Out tracking).

I really like Quest 2, and it's no wonder it sold 20 millions so far, given that it is a really good standalone headset, and it has quite a few good games, but if anyone will launch mass scale VR revolution, it will be Nintendo.
