Nintendo President Kimishima said at Nintendo’s investor’s meeting Q&A that Nintendo is “researching” VR. However, Shigeru Miyamoto had more to say on that, mentioning Nintendo’s research in virtual reality has lead to the company having the core technology. He explained that “I heard VR was a hot topic at E3, so I went to check it out. It was on display, but it wasn’t what I expected We’re also researching VR, so we have the core technology. Long play sessions are an issue. We want to release something that can be played for long periods, carries value, and is affordable. We want parents to feel at ease.”
Miyamoto Says Nintendo “Has The Core Technology” On VR Too
Parents….? He’s not even trying to hide the fact that they don’t give a shit about their adult fanbase anymore…
How? He is showing concern to the younger fan base, you know the fan base Nintendo is always concern about. In what way is wanting parents feeling at ease when their kids play VR games not giving a shit about the adult fan base, where is connection?
Possibly. Or it could just mean that kids/parents are the hardest demographic to win over compared to adults.
Are you that stupid? Think man, sony and microsoft are for the so called *ahemshootersahemhem* hard core gamers…at least they are still showing some signs of care for everyone.
Parents are adults…
Not all of them :v
Teen pregnancy in my country is stupidly high :(
How many times have I wrote on this blog saying this. Let me retort: Nintendo doesn’t give a fuck about core game base anymore. They want casual gamers and thats the money they saw at the Wii. They want that and don’t give a fuck about us Hardcore fans. They just want the paper.
I am watching a Super Mario Maker Playthrough as we speak so I just have to say Nintendo is the best lol!
I think youtube and the online gamers that stream/broadcast their games are loving Nintendo now-a-days for the views it gets them.
Something Nintendo should pay some good attention to :)

In other words, Nintendo VR really is going to be a thing for the Nintendo NX.
Hmm… perhaps the NX gimmick is gonna be VR? Knowing Nintendo, they like doing that (wii motion, wii u gamepad) I personally doubt it, but seeing as how they are keeping quiet because of a pretty big secret (possibly the consoles gimmick) and them now saying they have the tech and are researching, it could very much be it.
Just give NX enough power to run Oculus or Vive and focus on whatever the gimmick is.
Nintendo Vive would be awesome.
If they were to do a VR metroid as one of their first games, I would not complain.
Can anyone elaborate on what he might have meant when he said “…it wasn’t what I expected.”? Did he have higher or lower expectations than what was on display or did he just not know what it was gonna be like? I mean, we already knew what the PSVR and Oculus Rift were going in so I don’t think it could be the latter.
If you read the continuation it means he was underwhelmed, he expected more.
It’s a long shot, but I’m wondering is Nintendo interested in holographic technology.
Lolwut? Are you talking about fake holograms that you find on youtube, which is the same as the two-way mirror trick seen in arcades from the 80s? Or are you talking about REAL holograms that are still in development in Japan? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfVS-npfVuY
i was watchin the girl the entire time lol
I would love to hear an account from another game developer showing their game to Miyomoto.
Miyamoto: We’re also researching VR.
Comment section: VR for NX confirmed!
If it’s optional I’m happy about it.
“We want parents to feel at ease”
F that. I tried out the Vive and thought it had great potential.

I’ve been curious as to how long you’ll be able to play PlayStation VR without it causing headaches or such. The PS VR is $399, the same price the PS4 was at launch. Nintendo essentially is saying they don’t want it to be a high-price startup. The Samsung VR headset sells for $99, which seems cheaper until you take note of the fact you need a certain phone, which likely retails between $600-800, in order for it to do anything. With PlayStation VR you need a PS4 but any model will do. Still, it’s an expensive startup. If Nintendo finds a way to make it more affordable and better for long-play then they could totally take over. They have the IPs and games such as Mario Party or Splatoon could be easily converted to VR.
