Nintendo Is Officially Looking Into VR
According to games industry analyst Serkan Toto (via Develop Online), Nintendo confirmed that it was ‘looking into’ VR at their recent financial meeting. They mentioned VR alongside smartphone games as opportunities that they were exploring, which means that there is a very real chance that the company may be seriously considering charting a VR strategy of some sort.
Although this does imply that the NX is not VR (since it’s coming soon, and this makes it seem like they only just recently started considering VR), it also seems like they have decided that VR may be something to look into going forward- which sounds exciting. Nintendo did so well with the polygonal 3D paradigm all those years ago with the Nintendo 64 in 1996. What kinds of games could they make with VR?

I'm not entirely convinced that people who will buy the console will think about this.

Of course they are, with the announcement of several other VR devices recently of course other companies are going to try and make their own.

Im pretty sure most tech gaming companies are starting to look into this technology. My uncle has one of those headsets and i tried it the other day and it was so cool, even though the games that he had for it weren't the best quality. Something to definitely keep an eye out for.

Swift I really hope Nintendo takes VR seriously unlike their gaming consoles. Would love to play smash and mario kart in VR.
This is a world I want to live in.
That would actually be pretty dope.

Looking for redemption after the mess Virtual Boy was, eh Nintendo? It's already expected of all big name companies to start looking in to VR.
