Why the high-end doesn’t make sense for Nintendo’s foray into VR

Late last week rumors popped up suggesting Nintendo is getting into VR in 2019. Reports didn’t reveal much other than that the company could release a headset compatible with its Switch console as part of its Labo line. Past patents and a little data mining support the idea that the Switch could go VR, despite the company’s long-voiced skepticism. We’re still taking the reports with a pinch of salt, but they do paint an interesting picture.

On paper, it’s an exciting premise. Zelda, Metroid, Mario Kart, and more in VR? Where do we sign up?
