Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Would Nintendo ever go all out virtual reality?

Mr.Y on 29 August 2008

Or did the Virtual Boy burn them too much? They've only got the Wii and DS now. Would they ever introduce a third device?

I guess a head-mounted display might scare away the masses.. what do you guys think?

Virtual Reality is still in it's 90s phase as of late. Maybe the Wii 2 will have it.

Nintendo is doing some holographic business.

I believe that's what they are working toward. Don't you?

hahahah virtual boy... Why the hell was it all red again?

Anyhow, I'm not sure if Ninty would do it, it seems too expensive for them. I think Ninty likes to make their consoles fun w/o pouring expensive technology into it; I see it more as a Sony/MS thing, but of course Sony's gotten pretty burned with all the underappreciated hardware they put in the PS3.

So, maybe MS? But we're talking like way, way, way down the road if ever.

@ chenguo4
Red LEDs are the cheapest type of display that could be used at the time in the virtual boy.

Let's hope not. Otherwise people may confuse virtual reality with "real" reality!

Only if they could make it accessible and affordable while still remaining profitable.
