Nintendo has surely come a long way since the Virtual Boy all those years ago. While the Labo isn’t the most advanced piece of equipment, it does at least look like a fun time, especially if it means more VR support could be coming in the future. We definitely wouldn’t mind games like ARMS, Splatoon 2, or even DOOM rocking Nintendo Switch VR sometime down the line.
Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR is set to release on April 12th, while The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey are out now for Nintendo Switch.
