Nintendo have announced Labo VR
Nintendo has announced that the 4th release of Nintendo Labo will be something a little different, meet Labo VR, which will release in two kits on April 12th, depending on how much you want to invest.
Nintendo Labo: VR Kit offers six new Toy-Con creations to build, including the Toy-Con VR Goggles, which combine with the other creations, encouraging players to use natural movements and gestures to interact with the gaming world and elevating the Nintendo Labo gameplay experience. Fend off an alien invasion with the Toy-Con Blaster, visit a colourful in-game ocean and snap photos of the sea life with the Toy-Con Camera, and so much more.
Nintendo Labo: VR Kit encourages passing around Toy-Con creations among a group of people so everyone in the room can easily join in on the fun. To help encourage this social gameplay, players simply slip the Nintendo Switch console into the Toy-Con VR Goggles and hold it up to their eyes to explore numerous games and experiences – no head-strap needed.
Where things get a little odd, is in how you buy it, the VR Kit can be purchased as a complete pack, like this:
Or you can buy the Starter Kit:
If after you have the Starter Kit, you feel that you want more, you can buy one of two expansion kits, which will only come with the cardboard, no goggles or software.
While the kits are set to release on April 12, we currently don't have pricing on them, given the US have pricing, you would be ok to assume that the full kit will be around $120, the Starter Kit $60 and each Expansion Kit priced at $30.
