The Nintendo NX was rumour to have include VR supportat one breaker point and there have been rumors circularize over the past few months about a possible Labo VR Kit in the works , which corroborated a discovery made by hacker of a basic virtual realness fashion within the files of the Nintendo Switch .

According toBusiness Wire , there will be a Starter Set + Blaster Kit that will be $ 39.99 and will add up with the VR headset and a artillery . There are two other VR kit that expect you to own the Starter Set , which are the Expansion Set 1 Camera + Elephant and Expansion Set 2 Bird + Wind Pedal , both of which will retail for $ 19.99 . There will also be the Nintendo Labo VR Kit which will feature all of the sets and will retail for $ 79.99 .
Nintendo stresses in the press release that these VR game will be " simple " , which is due to the fact that the CRT screen of the Switch is n’t built for a unfeigned practical reality experience . The Nintendo Switch has a projection screen resolution of 1280 x 720 , which is go to be chopped in half by the goggles , so the game wo n’t look great . The one thing that the VR Labo kits havein their favor is their low price compared to the contender , as the HTC Vive , Oculus Rift , and PlayStation VR be a lot more to purchase .
Nintendo has yet to uncover any footage of the game that will come with the VR kits , but they have stated that the Blaster Kit will let you agitate off an alien invasion and that the Camera Kit will let you take pictures of ocean life in the ocean . The Bird Kit and Elephant Kit seem like they would involve games where you act as those beast from a first - person perspective , though it ’s harder to say what the Wind Pedal secret plan would involve . It ’s odd that none of the Labo VR sets allow you to trounce the goggles to your nous ( like you may with the Google Daydream View headset ) , as all of them need you to hold the kit in some fashion , which may be due to health & safety concerns , as the Labo line is aimed towards youngster .
Mario Kart 8 Deluxereceived an update to make it compatible with the Vehicle Kit , which means that Nintendo is open to making their first - company title work with the Labo solidifying . The lowly resolution of the Labo Goggles means that games likeSuper Mario OdysseyandThe Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wildwouldn’t look great in VR , butMario Kart 8 Deluxemight be a better fit due to it being a racing game .
The most obvious pick for a plot to be compatible with the Camera Kit would be a sequel toPokémon Snap , but Nintendo already missed the gravy boat with release that game for the Wii U where it would have been a perfect fit for the GamePad , so it ’s best not to expect too much . The Blaster Kit could also earmark Nintendo to revive some of its classic light gun shooter game from the past on theNintendo Switch , such asDuck Hunt , Hogan ’s Alley , andWild Gunman .
The Nintendo Labo VR Kits will be released on April 12 , 2019 .
