New Level of Immersion
While it doesn’t seem like Nintendo has any current plans of trying their hand at VR, the Nintendo Labo seems to be the closest thing we’re going to get for now. And, honestly, it’s perfectly fine. Instead of strapping a large device around your head and waving controllers around, kids can actually interact with the Labo toys. The immersion goes beyond looking through a screen and strapping on headphones, the Nintendo Labo encourages players to, well, play.
The fishing rod has players actually using their rod to fish through the Switch’s screen, while the cardboard piano allows you to make and record different types of music. And let’s not forget that huge robot kit where you punch your way through the game – and in real life! So instead of settling for the basic (and expensive) VR kit, why not opt for a more interactive experience with the Labo?
