Super Mario Odyssey and BOTW getting Labo VR mode

BOTW literally looks like slapping a screen on your face and playing the game the exact same way...only on your face.
Neat experiment though!

Hmm, doesn't BOTW on the Wii U already renders the picture twice? (TV and Gamepad)
So basically it's the difference between "immersive!" VR and "it's in 3D!" VR.
It makes sense that it could work, Labo testers described it as "a window into a VR world" rather than an immersive experience. That limitation would alleviate nausea problems linked to framerate and resolution.

Then, why are you afraid that this is going to turn off a lot of people from VR? Because if not then those comments are even more ridiculous..
I love both games but honestly, that doesn't sound like a good experience at all. Both have dynamic res on a 720p screen, and while both have relatively consistent framerates (even BOTW, unlike what some trolls may say) Zelda may be very very rough to play.
MK8DX runs at native resolution, rock solid 60fps. I would have preferred them to include a first person view and put it in VR.
Splatoon in VR could have been fun as well, though with a separate mode.

But they both come as cartridges... You can't insert the Game and the Labo software at the same time in your Switch.
Edit: it would probably work as an option like so:

Super Mario Odyssey looks like a proper VR experience with head tracking. Probably why it is limited content that is specifically designed for VR and maintaining high framerates.
I wouldn't even call the BOTW stuff VR. It looks like it is basically BOTW 3DS. Just gives you a stereoscopic 3D view of the world. With no head tracking, lower frame rates don't matter.
That'd be fantastic. I may be in the minority, but Zelda with an unlocked framerate targeting 60fps would please me very much.
While I totally get what people are worried about given the power of the Switch. It's like everyone has forgotten that for nearly a decade, Nintendo has developed high-quality 3D experiences just fine. So I think they know what it takes.
Plus, we're talking about cardboard here. Even allowing for adjusted expectations, I predict people will be pleasantly surprised.

No. The screen mirroring feature requires no extra rendering. It just takes the TV's framebuffer, downscales it to widescreen 480p and displays it on the Gamepad. Has no impact on performance whatsoever; hell, the 3DS could do the same thing, and indeed did with Captain Toad 3DS (fun fact: If you adjust the 3D depth slider when playing Captain Toad 3DS, you can actually see the bottom screen move as you do this; a dead giveaway that they're using screen mirroring).
It's only when the Wii U Gamepad has to actually render something different from the main screen (ALA Starfox Zero) that it incurs that huge penalty...
Speaking of which, Star Fox Zero VR for Switch when?
Well in this case they're giving examples of both (perhaps that's why they chose these two games in particular?). Hopefully that means that we'll get blanket support for the 3DS style S3D across all of Nintendo's titles in addition to bespoke VR experiences too!
I'd be so happy to see 3DS style S3D come back! Even better if its a sign that the Switch Pro will have an autostereoscopic screen again! :D
i still hold out hope that they're gonna fix the performance in korok forest. that's a stain of an otherwise perfect game.
Yeah, you're right. Of course it's just mirroring on the Wii U.
StarFox Zero VR would be amazing. So would Luigi's Mansion 3 and Mario Kart 8! :D
I don't know about BOTW on WiiU, does it show the same screen on TV + Gamepad? Regardless, this would be the exact same screen, so it's probably only rendered once.
On Switch with stereoscopic 3D you have to render two different pictures, one for left eye, one for the right eye.
Some of you guys are pretty sad.
Firstly, you haven't the slightest clue about how this thing runs. Nothing has been stated on that matter as of yet. Saying that this will be "20fps" or "unplayable" is pure ignorance at best. Wait and see before you make any argument on why this isn't good. At this stage, a lot of your responses are pathetic and uninformed.
Secondly, get off your high horses. Do you think much of the population have enough money to spend on a high-end PC and headset in addition to games to simply play "real VR blah blah blah"? No. They do not, and if they do, there are WAAAAAY better places to place your money than on some video game novelties.
At this moment in time, some of the comments in this thread from fully grown adults are simply embarrassing. Nintendo makes toys for children. Don't like it? Don't buy it.

Possibly. The minigames in the Labo VR app can apparently be played without VR (just with the necessary Toy-Cons) so I don't see why not.
I'm with you, but it's best to ignore it. Like snobs of any stripe.
truly. some embarrassing stuff in this thread (and in every past labo thread). some people simply can't compute something not being targeted towards them.
I'm guessing this is just an early preview of what the Switch Pro and the eventual Switch successor are going to be offering us. If they're confident enough to drop this suddenly on two of their biggest releases this generation then maybe they're feeling good on the future of VR with their system. Or could just be a neat little experiment and I'm down to drop $35 to find out.
What if, in those Mario Odyssey special levels, there's one of those retro-pipes and after you enter it, instead of the usual SMB1 graphic style you're treated to this:
Yes please! That would be super cool!
Lol! I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to call it the New 3D Switch!

rip my retinas
I'm sure it's already been pointed out but:
Hellblade releases April 11
Labo VR Kit releases April 12
Probably doesn't mean anything and maybe it would be too demanding of a game to be running VR mode on the Switch, but from what I can tell, it doesn't need full 6dof VR so it might be plausible? Kind of fun to think about 3rd party games getting support right away.

No. It doesn't have VR on PS4 and it's so soon to release, that it would be something they would have announced by now.
6dof isn't why it wouldn't be possible. It's a matter of horsepower and being able to render that game as a stereoscopic image (putting it very simply).
Of course, Nintendo is doing Zelda. That runs at 30fps, and unless they are implementing some kind of interpolation (Vive and Rift have ASW and ATW to allow your head rotation to still be 90fps even if a game is, say, 45fps), folks are going to get very sick playing it.
Lots of people have never tried any VR. Even the cheap stuff. The simple fact that this is Nintendo will make lots of people jump in.
See?
Then this will happen.
Yeah. My notifications have never blown up so much as they just did after I expressed doubt/concern in this Nintendo thread.
Actually we shouldn't post shitty comments without all informations.
Maybe Zelda is just 3D mode similar like OoT 3D, or maybe they will even incrase frame rate for Zelda BotW.
Its best to wait for more informations, for instance all media reported that Labo VR despite low res screen is OK VR experience and good product for its price.
What game runs at 20 fps?
Zelda BotW on Switch 95% of time runs at locked 30 FPS.
Except this is aimed totally opposite from hardcore fanbase.
Of Course that price point matters, you can't expect same experience from $40 and $300 product (and I dont talking VR only).
In any case, it seems that Zelda is more 3D from 3DS than real VR.
Saying that will be "horrible experience and turn a generation of kids away from VR" is laughable
3DS levels of 3D is not how VR works. You're fully immersed, head to toe. Think, The Matrix.
Except in this case you have glaucoma and no legs.
Edit: Oh, ok. You're assuming the BOTW mode will be a floating 3D screen to avoid making people sick.
Yeah that's possible. But then Nintendo would be absolute liars to call that VR.

I expected Nintendo to be strong in VR eventually after it became mainstream already, but really surprised how much they're jumping in at this stage. Probably has their devs excited.
Hopefully this means they will have increased investment and experience with VR over time. When they can do a proper Wario Ware VR, prepare yourselves for some serious shit.

Some of comments here are ridiculous, similar when Labo VR was announced, and at end most of previews were positive.
Wait for more informations before make shitposts, also here its not point only about Mario and Zelda, this is just Labo VR update for those games, Labo VR kit offers 64 VR Mini games and tools to make even its own game, all that for $40 plus VR updates for some of current Switch games.

It's VR as a buzzword then, because it's still similar to the 3DS.
They wouldn't announce it before Nintendo announces their Mario Odyssey and BotW support.
BotW being possible is what makes me not instantly dismiss the idea since it running at 30fps (with some dips) raises questions about how Nintendo is confident to have the ability there as one of the first games compatible with Labo VR. We'll see, but it's fun to speculate.
