      I played pokemon snap for 10 minutes then Quit for life. Hey everybody Its a pokemon game. Can we train & Battle Pokemon against other players? NOPE but you can just walk around taking pictures of pokemon. WOW so for $70 we can just walk around in VR taking pictures of pokemon that NOBODY will care about? Every player has probably already taking a picture & Seen your picture already. I'd rather See a open world Pokemon game with VR Mode like BOWT. Lets face it imagine batting Mewtwo in VR

      Yes steal Cars, Panic Sniping with accuracy becoming a Billionaire, GTAO is a game that actually has a challenge & Actual things to do. So What Exactly makes Pokemon Snap worth $70 plus presumably another $30 for a Pokemon Snap cardboard accessory that emulates camera ? Can you train pokemon & battle other players? Can you participate in actual Pokemon world Tournaments? Is there a Narrative Story like becoming a Pokemon world Champion & defeating the Evil Team Rocket? Listen I'm a PS guy & I'm Sold on the switch, I Bought one for BOTW, Lets Go pikachu & soon Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 a Switch exclusive. But again what makes Pokemon Snap a Great game? If I'm Going to Invest in Switch VR a more Logical game is Metroid rumored for 2021. Imagine a cardboard Metroid Blaster thats functional. A proper Hands free VR attachment. Now be objective as a Gamer what sounds like more fun Shooting aliens in VR as Seamus orwalking around taking pictures of Pokemon nobody will care about & Having absolutely nothing else to do in Pokemon Snap? Pokemon makes money from gamers when gamers can actually compete with each other likewith an Online switch subscription.

      The Black Pilled Oh no! It’s going to take so much strength to hold up the Switch!! However will people be able to use this without a headstrap? Clearly you have no idea WHATSOEVER what this kit is all about. All the add ons are designed for the player to hold the device up.
      Would it be nice to have a dedicated headstrap for a VR experience? Yes. But none of these VR showpieces would benefit from that. Maybe down the line Nintendo will release a headstrap, and more ‘traditional’ VR experiences (for traditional, essentially read unimaginative) The Labo VR kit is so innovative in its approach to VR gaming.
      You literally have no idea at all.

      Metroid Trilogy with VR would be their best move, but Labo VR wouldn't work with motion controls so that may present problems with the third game. I would hope Prime 4 pushes the system harder than a Wii U game (BotW) which would make VR difficult.

    Good idea with having your nieces and Tom help you with this review. VR indeed can be very subjective so it’s good to get other people’s views on the experience as well (especially kids).
    I hope Labo VR does better than the previous Labos because this is something that has a lot of potential to grow unlike the other Labos. They do need to figure out the headset though because how am I supposed to play BotW when I’m holding it on my head?

      I think it shouldn't be hard to add an elastic band to the headset. You just have to add a little hole on each side in front of your ears. I'm not even sure if These holes aren't already there. You can see a black plastic ring at 15:47 which might be there exactly for one. But I don't have the set myself (yet?), so I can just assume that.

      I guess it depends on your expectations. Lego is more self explanatory and all the playing you do with it relies on your decisions, whereas with video games you're always getting a premade experience. I can tell you that I played for longer with my bionicle than I spent time building them. The variety kit also offered many really shallow experiences that could have been easily made more interesting with just few additions/changes.

    Loved the video! It was very in-depth and makes me more eager for Labo VR!
    I do agree that limiting the Labo Garage creations from online sharing is a bummer, but also it's likely a safety feature to protect unmonitored younger players from downloading unwanted (horror for example) or inappropriate (game has genitalia recreated in it) content.
    And much like Super Mario Maker, it's too late to report a violating upload after it's been downloaded & played because it's already been viewed by the reporting player.
    Now VR uploads might be sparse enough that a team at Nintendo can be created to review submissions before it's made available for public sharing.
    But if public online sharing is too risky, Nintendo might want to consider private sharing like the trading system used in Pokemon: Let's Go! where you have to know the person (or at the very least, be in consistent communication with the other player) in order to share VR Garage content. That might reduce the liability of Nintendo as long as Nintendo states the player, not Nintendo, is responsible for the communication with other players.

    Now they just need to make games (whether big budget or small) that uses the VR, like an obvious Pokemon Snap Sequel, Metroid Blaster mini game or a control option for Prime 4. Doing this, along with adding more compatibility with other games, will make this VR stand out and sell well, which in turn, will make Nintendo look into a full VR experience in the future.

      What’s the point? Surely VR experiences are meant to be totally immersive - don’t think any games with a third person perspective can achieve this; wouldn’t it be akin to playing both these games, but with the Switch pressed up against your face?
      The reason the VR kit is getting the praise it’s receiving is because of how it makes you feel like you’re in the world you’re inhabiting. Part of this is the first person view in these games, and the add ons also give the games extra depth.
      If you want to know how Mario and BoTW would feel in VR, put an elastic band round your Switch, strap it around your head and hey presto - you’re pretty much there.
