Will Nintendo Go Full VR?

Nintendo recently dropped a giant bombshell on its fans regarding its newest Labo installment: the VR Kit. To the surprise of many, the company released a trailer revealing that its two most successful Switch titles, Super Mario Odyssey  and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, will receive VR support. While Odyssey will simply receive a few extra missions that operate on VR, Breath of the Wild will feature full VR integration.

While this decision certainly came out of left field, it does make plenty of sense when you analyze it. Nintendo has a new product and they want it to turn a large profit. How do they optimize that goal? Simple, they implement the product with two of their most profitable and acclaimed games ever. Of course, that does bring beg the question of how far Nintendo will take VR. Will this be the most we see of VR compatibility, or will Nintendo go full force with the feature and implement it in many of their future titles?

So with all that said, the question is: will Nintendo go the way of VR? While Nintendo could try to shape their own vision of VR, I’m personally inclined to say that the current limitations impose too great a financial risk. However, for all we know, Nintendo could enter the VR market, guns blazing. And what we do know for certain is that Nintendo has proven us wrong before — who’s to say they won’t do it again?
