Recent Rumors Surface Nintendo Might Be Working on a VR Device for Switch 2

Nintendo is known for its innovation in gaming hardware. From developing the first ever plus D-pad to revolutionizing handheld gaming, it has done everything. What’s even more astonishing is the fact that this company actually made a gaming handheld that had glassless 3d displays.

Nintendo’s every console had something in it that inspired others. From motion controls to remote play, and hybrid gaming setup, being the first is Nintendo’s thing. But this time, it seems Nintendo is doing something way after it has been introduced.

Nintendo is all ready to take its games to the future

Nintendo is internally working on Nintendo Switch 2, or whatever they plan to call the successor to their current hybrid console. This console if rumors are to be believed would be capable of running games in 4k. It is also being said that the console might even be powerful enough or boast a chipset that is cleverly designed to allow for ray tracing in Nintendo’s games.

Imagine, Metroid 4 with ray tracing, Samus would finally see her reflection in broken pieces of glass.

Anyways, the biggest

rumor came just a while ago, it claims that Nintendo along with working on their latest and upcoming console, is also working on a VR device. Notably, it is not being called a VR headset, but a VR device.

It seems like it would be a device that would come with a headset and it would not be compulsory for next-gen Switch but just an addition to enhance gamers’ experience.

This would not be very different from Playstation VR, which connected to Playstation 4 and Pro but also had a chipset of its own, to provide additional power to the console to run those games in VR.

The VR headset consists of two separate displays and a console that runs the same game on two different screens which means, it needs twice the power. It is also being said that there would be a feature to involve the second players in your games through their cell phones.

It is not yet clear how that would work, be we can only wonder for now.

2023 is going to be a big year for new devices

It seems like next year we would see numerous new things coming out, there are rumors that Valve is working on the successor to Steam Deck. Then there’s news of the Playstation 5 which would allow gamers to attach and detach a disc drive to it at will.

Then there’s this device from Microsoft, which is said to be a cloud-based device.

We have to wait and see to know which one of these devices would actually show up next year, there’s nothing confirmed as of yet. Also, we recommend any fan of Nintendo take this VR thing with a grain of salt, as it is just a rumor as of now.
