Nintendo President Interested In VR But Says Nothing Interesting Has Been Done Yet With The Tech

Don’t really think so.
I understand why Nintendo can’t have VR. The costs as a mass medium are just way over the top. Buying a PS4 plus VR plus controllers is already considered cheap but completely misses Nintendo’s target audience. So when he’s talking about interesting, maybe he means interesting for that use case.

But generally he wouldn’t call it not interesting if it wasn’t interesting, as weird as it sounds. Because obviously, VR has one hell of a potential. We often act like an HD update would justify the 2nd purchase of a game. Well, a VR upgrade really does, as it really enables one sick hell of a new experience. And if that’s not “interesting” than what is. It’s obviously way more interesting than Nintendo’s move toward motion controls back in 2006. And yes, that was already good enough to be called interesting.
Nintendo just hasn’t found a way yet, to make it accessible for their audience. And as VR shouldn’t be played by players under 13 yrs, Nintendo might call it uninteresting for some way longer time to come.
But it’s just totally missing the point that there’s a lot of potential that has already been used in a way that can totally be a huge step to traditional gaming, if done right. Resident Evil 7 for instance feels basically like 2 different games when played on VR VS on TV.And that game’s already a year old.

NO BODY HAS >>>FACT<<< AND HOLDING A DUALSHOCK WITH A HELMET ON isnt VR

I highly disagree. VR to fade because of the current form factor is no factor to the success of VR.

Hes saying nothing interesting has been done so even if nintendo made vr games on a vr console there would be a huge disparity between the good nintendo games and the literal piles of horseshit everyone else has been producing thus far

“Innovating” with VR would have been the easy option for Nintendo – that’s supposed to be “the next big thing” in gaming, even though it won’t be – not yet, anyway. Nintendo were very smart to ignore that money sink and instead make the Switch – a properly innovative console that has already shifted way more units than VR anything and will continue to do so.

Labo has clearly caught the imagination of some people as the pre-orders are very high, but that really doesn’t matter. Nintendo haven’t staked their entire future on Labo. It will succeed or fail, but whatever it does, the Switch and by extension Nintendo will be just fine, thanks to them using their brain rather than just hopping on whatever fad you think they should.

I think that’s what he’s trying to say. By “we” he obviously means Nintendo. He’s saying that they (Nintendo) haven’t come up with anything interesting/compelling enough to justify their jump into the market.

I see, my mistake then. I thought you liked those types of games because of your feelings toward Labo (which I also don’t like because it reminds me of E3 2015 when I thought that Nintendo have ruined almost all the franchises).

For me, this E3 was ok. Not as good as other years, but not as bad as others either. The inclusion of Ridley en Smash has me excited because it was something I thought it wouldn’t happen. The return of Young Link is another thing that I like because the Zelda games are my favorite franchise along with the Metroid franchise. The only thing that I didn’t like, is that they didn’t show a new 2D Zelda game since it has been almost 5 years since A Link Between Worlds. I hope they show something in the future directs or events of this year.

Microsoft is already trying to push mixed reality (AR+VR). Doesn’t seem to be catching as much as VR right now.
