Nintendo Switch OS Source Code Hints at Switch VR Support

The Nintendo Switch OS source code appears to contain code for partial Switch VR support. Does that mean Nintendo is cooking a surprise?

It has better controls for it too compared to ps4 and xbox...

Then again the screen is not that sharp

Neonridr3158d ago

I can't imagine that the current iteration would allow for VR. I figure we would see an upgraded center portion of the tablet with a higher resolution screen and beefier innards. I imagine the code is in there as a placeholder.

The 10th Rider3157d ago

Exactly. Honestly I think the Switch's concept would be perfect for VR in the future. I mean, the console itself could slide into the headset akin to the way it works with phones, and it also already includes with two detachable motion controllers.

However even regular VR sets still have a ways to go. The Switch is a waaaaaaaays away from being able to pull VR off.

About as sharp as a spoon. It has 1/4 the resolution of a Samsung Galaxy s5, s6, s7 or s8. You have to go back to 2012 to the s3 to get such low resolution.

VR at that resolution would be complete crap, and the ginormous size and weight of the switch would make for an unwieldy headset.

Neonridr3157d ago

well PSVR is only 1080p, so I wouldn't go that far, but yes 720p is not good enough for VR.

kneon3157d ago

Even the PSVR has 2.3 times as many pixels as the switch.

The current commercially available VR headsets are barely good enough. The PSVR looks better than it should because of the kind of screen they use, but even the Rift and Vive need to improve.

I can see the pixels on all VR headsets, but to be fair you forget about it once you get into it. I have used a few prototypes that push things further than what is currently available and they look much better.

WeAreLegion3157d ago

No, it doesn't. There's nothing to track them.

zivtheawesome3158d ago

I remember Nintendo said that they are testing vr for the switch before it released. Probably just some leftover code

can't wait to hear how this is spun negatively.

darthv721h ago

Its nice there is some kind of drop... but is that all they really value CoD to be, a lousy $7 a month?

I was hoping it would drop by $10.

1Victor1h ago

Can’t wait to hear how this will be spun extremely positive. 🤣
I wonder why knowing Microsoft thick head something must has happened in the background in the levels of Xbox one and Kinect 🤷🏿

New Xbox Boss the 🐐?

In my region, it’s still more expensive than it was before the last price hike, but it’s a far more viable price point.

Losing Call of Duty from the service, honestly, has zero effect on me, and given they chose to make it so, it’s probably not the big seller they originally thought. Overall, it’s really good news, but I still think they have work to do on the tier structure, having Premium and PC at the same price point with different features feels odd.

Lightning773h ago

Yep take COD out. Them waiting a year is interesting but it make sense. They don't want certain ppl waiting 4 to 6 months they want fomo and maximum sales. Wait a year while the new one releases.

Ok so far so good.

Sadly when i try to checkout, it wont let me select United States. their site thinks i'm in another zone for some weird reason.

edit... it was my office internet being the issue. i did it on my phone through cellular and it worked. Got me a white one.

Neonridr5d ago

it lets me order from Canada.. only charges me $20 for shipping too.

That being said. Spending $533 (CDN) on the white unit for it to primarily just sit and collect dust would be a little foolish.

It's an awesome idea though.

darthv724d ago

I almost went for the ultimate edition... as that truly is the best deal. the games by themselves are $90 (US), that alone is $900 in value for all 10 titles. then add in the $250 for the console and wired stick. Another $120 for a wireless stick, $60 for a wireless pad and then $35 for the memory card. $1365 (US) if all bought separately.

Neonridr5d ago

congrats on the White one, it is beautiful and tempting... LOL

darthv725d ago

I just had to... I already have an AES with a multi-cart. But this thing was just too good to pass up. Especially since the wireless controller works on regular AES and the game cart does as well. Plus it comes with a matching white memory card.

Neonridr5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

@darthv72 - I'm not a collector of games for these retro consoles (have the Analogue Super NT (SNES), Mega SG (Genesis) and 3D (N64). But I just use everdrives with each system as I only have a couple of SNES carts and only 2 N64 carts. A lot of these games are stupidly expensive so I'd rather just invest in a single everdrive and then I can just run every game. However the everdrive that works with the AES is $600! Crazy stuff.

darthv725d ago

^^...that is why i got one of those 160-1 carts off aliexpress. it works great. and yeah i use everdrives and ODE where available. i do like to buy PS4/5 games and Switch stuff though. I dont buy much in the way of physical XB anymore, I just use GPU to play what I like.

Neonridr4d ago

I buckled and picked up a white one off Amazon. I figure at least there I can cancel closer to release if I change my mind. I need to see about getting a second controller though...

darthv724d ago

right on... and yeah when i saw Amazon was offering them, I had to order a wireless pad and memory card for my existing AES. i used to have the Neo CD and i really liked the clicky thumbstick. Now if they make the kidney bean shaped control stick I will be all set.

Neonridr4d ago

the white one came with a memory card, so I figure one is enough for me.

Rebel_Scum5d ago

Had no idea SNK were still around tbh. What have they been working on for the last decade or two?

rgraf774d ago

Samurai showdown, a couple King of fighters. Fatal fury games have all been released

Huey_My_D_Long4d ago

Bought and owned by the Saudi Family now

Agent754d ago

SNK went bust in 2001 and has changed hands a number of times, so it's no longer the original SNK.

PRIMORDUS4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

This brings back memories. I remember when I first saw Neo Geo back in 1991, it was $649.99 at launch, which would equal $1,575 today. I was thinking holy shit who is going to buy that when SNES was $200 and Genesis was $189. Well I was wrong, 😂 it sold for 14 yrs. My ringtone is the Neo Geo jingle https://www.youtube.com/wat... 😁

derek4d ago

Remember just staring at it through the shop window and wishing I could buy it, lol. The games looked amazing for that time.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH4d ago

Definitely picking up that Ultimate Edition.

jznrpg4d ago

I couldn’t check out last night with PayPal for some reason. I’ll try again later

darthv724d ago

I had a similar issue. First it wasnt the right region, then i was able to correct that and then paypal worked.
