Ghost_MH Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 I have a couple of nephews in the Labo age-range. They'd be pretty into this. Also, I love that Labo has been a thing for nearly a year and there are still gamer's butthurt over how they aren't good enough for serious gamers. 1 Quote

RedSoxFan9 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Seems like a good way to break your switch Quote

chakoo Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 ugg to now spend the days before release hearing people talk how amazing this is and that others just don’t get it. Then for it to release and do fuck all in the market and parent saying their kids don’t care after a week. Quote
Xbob42 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 I don't care whether you "get it" or you don't, the fact that you have to hold it up is the most stupid fucking Nintendo design decision. Of COURSE you have to hold it up. Quote
eggydoo Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Forget the bird, the penis face has me rolling. Quote

Mr.Vic20 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 This seems like a why not, as apposed to a serious endeavor. Its hard to take seriously, but then again, I think its more a thing of whimsy than a serious pillar of their gaming strategy. Its Amusing if nothing else! Quote
cusideabelincoln Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 At least they are labeling as Labo also. That should be the first indicator to people as to what this thing is. Quote
DarkStar189 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Mom! Hold this on my head. I'm trying to have fun! Quote

Labo was a neat idea but half baked VR isn't. Quote
Rodimus Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 So Google Cardboard is now Nintendo Cardboard. I'm interested in this and thought it would happen. I'm concerned this will not be a good VR experience. Quote

JosephManderley Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 It's cheap and kids will have fun with it for a while. It's not going to be a great VR experience for the obvious reasons. A Switch pro, with a bit more power and a better screen could make it work though. Quote
ort Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Seeing what VR looks like on a screen as nice as the iPhone's, I can only imagine how terrible it's going to look on the Switches much much lower res screen. It's going to look like you're playing a blurry mess through a screen door smeared with vaseline... Quote

I imagine they'll keep it looking extraordinarily simple to keep the framerate up and to try and fight the fact that their screen doesn't look amazing at normal viewing distances, let alone with giant magnifying glasses popped on it, with your eyes like an inch from the screen. I do like how this absolute garbage gets a free pass because it's for kids, like kids are too stupid to enjoy a good product or deserve to use underwhelming crap or something. Quote

As a father of a 4-year-old girl, I can most assuredly tell you she greatly prefers the "good" VR of Job Simulator Oculus over any phone shit I've tried to distract her with. Just like if you were a child and someone replaced your copy of Super Mario Bros. with Giana Sisters. This idea that kids can't recognize quality at all is absurd. Sure, if your kid knows only of this form of VR then it's fine. But yo momma got you way better games than Giana Sisters when you asked for them! ...usually. Quote
