Indie studio hopes, but doesn’t know, if Nintendo NX will support VR

People are curious about the upcoming Nintendo console, and that mystery has led to some excitement. Now, one developer is riding that anticipation to help his own game — and he is causing some confusion in the process.

Nintendo hasn’t said if its upcoming dedicated gaming platform, code named NX, is getting virtual reality support. Developer Patrick Ruckdeschel of Zockrock Laboratories announced his new exploration game Riverside with a reveal trailer that claims it is in development for both the the virtual reality Oculus Rift headset and the NX. This caused some to speculate that NX, which is due out in March, will include VR as a feature. But Ruckdeschel has clarified that he does not yet have a Nintendo NX development kit, and he’s only hoping that the system will support VR. He further explained that Riverside is in development for non-VR platform like PC and Xbox One.
