Nintendo Is Officially Looking Into VR
According to games industry analyst Serkan Toto (via Develop Online), Nintendo confirmed that it was ‘looking into’ VR at their recent financial meeting. They mentioned VR alongside smartphone games as opportunities that they were exploring, which means that there is a very real chance that the company may be seriously considering charting a VR strategy of some sort.
Although this does imply that the NX is not VR (since it’s coming soon, and this makes it seem like they only just recently started considering VR), it also seems like they have decided that VR may be something to look into going forward- which sounds exciting. Nintendo did so well with the polygonal 3D paradigm all those years ago with the Nintendo 64 in 1996. What kinds of games could they make with VR?

Is VR really becoming a thing? I mean I just don't see myself or friends spending "X" amount more just to to Virtual Reality.

Nintendo struggles to stay relevant and competitive against its peers in this ever evolving industry, but ill be interested to if this proposal of them developing VR consoles comes through. All though i think it would be extremely be hard to compete with what Occulus is going to become in the next few years. Who better to do it than Nintendo though.
