Nintendo announces VR kit for the Switch

Nintendo is turning its Switch console into a virtual reality headset. And it’s doing so with a little help from its Labo cardboard interactive toys. The Nintendo Labo: VR Kit supports “simple and shareable” VR experiences, so don’t expect Skyrim.

VR Kit is launching April 12 for $80. It includes Nintendo’s full suite of VR cardboard creations. Or you can get the VR Kit – Starter Set + Blaster, which is a pared down version that only includes two of the builds for $40. This is the latest entry in Nintendo’s Labo line, which are toys that people can make out of cardboard. Those creations then interact with software on the Switch.
