Nintendo Switch VR - Is It Any Good?

Yes, the Nintendo Switch has VR compatibility, and in this video, I play every first party game that supports it. Does it work well, and should you try it yourself?

2:58 I was not expecting that but Im not complaining

[@Shxytie]

i was looking for a comment that said smth about that

[@Titanslacrosse32]

He’s not wrong tho😅

[@ATGLILTJ]

i mean he not wrong

[@Moshugaani]

They've made some very disappointing decisions with those VR applications. Being able to play with nothing but attached joy-con in Smash Bros. is just inane! And Zelda would have been tons better if you could simultaneously look around naturally by turning your head and rotate the camera around Link with the stick, just like it is in Captain Toad. I suspect that they didn't do that because it would have needed more in-depth programming to change the camera behavior so much and things like camera culling etc.

[@Aaronbewaytootiredfr]

Did u mean insane

[@MoonSarito]

I really hope that Nintendo is interested in trying VR again (they kind of tried it with the Mario Kart VR arcade which is exclusive to Japan), PSVR 2 showed so much potential for what VR can offer, Gran Turismo 7, Resident Evil: Village and Horizon Call of the Mountain is so amazing and immersive, but I think if there's one company that could revolutionize the VR market it's Nintendo, just imagine how awesome it would be to feel like you're actually in the world of Hyrule with VR. Funfact: Among the Nintendo Labo, the VR Kit was the best seller (and the one that received the most compatible games, even having some games from third-party companies)

[@Aaronbewaytootiredfr]

@@Moshugaani yeah my bad

[@richardkirkland6805]

​@@Aaronbewaytootiredfr No, I think they meant inane, which means stupid

[@Ashimilation]

Smash bros being locked to only attached joycons is because the headset is poorly designed itself, and has no straps holding it up to your head If you played without joycons attached the headset would literally have to magically float for you to be able to play

[@Lnksbro]

Imagine Metroid Prime Remastered in VR. That'd be interesting

[@kiryu5499]

I’d pay for it

[@cyclonemusicx4446]

I kept thinking when I played it that I wish this had VR. Would be really fun, and enhance the atmuspahere.

[@jokig]

Metroid Prime would be the perfect fit for VR

[@Applemangh]

My thoughts exactly.

[@aritzmartinezrodriguez1825]

My hopes are for the next nintendo console to ve pretty much a VR Switch (abandoning the switch form factor will be stupid at this point IMO, and the switch whole deal is multiple ways of playing in one device, putting VR on it feels like a pretty obvious next step in both concept and design...) and for it to came on launch with Metroid Prime 4, like twilight princes and breath of the wild did in the past, coming for 2 generations of nintendo consoles. Throw in there Mario Kart VR and it that thing would sell 100+ million units with no sweat...

[@TheBeast324347]

I've been having a rough day. That clip of Nintendo as Charlie being chased by the virtual boy was awesome. Thank you

[@yellowbatman6395]

The only problem I see with this is the switches poor performance

[@mitchio83]

I mean, have you tried the Virtual Boy though?

[@xGOKOPx]

I don't think they're likely to even look at VR seriously until they're last to the race. They use tried old boring technologies and give them a twist, so we'll see serious Nintendo VR gaming when everyone and your grandma has a VR headset. In addition to that, any VR they'd put out now would compete with the Quest 3, PSVR2 and the likes which would make it either too expensive for what Nintendo is doing or too shitty to consider. VR isn't yet at the stage where the kind of audience Nintendo is interested in would buy several VR headsets the same way they'd buy a PC, PlayStation and a Nintendo console

[@HarmoniChris]

13:27 That slight smile as you realize how loud that was was great.

[@dontcallme5551]

Even tho BOTW's VR option looks poor, I think it would be really interesting to use the 1st person perspective glitch with the VR Headset, it would probably be as immersive as you could get on the switch software right now.

[@TheRealBOBlibob]

I tried that, it was fun to see how big the stables look in first person VR

[@alfiegordon9013]

I tried It with a proper first person mod and it actually works pretty nice. Wouldnt play the whole game that way, but I definitely could

[@senorsnipey1595]

I actually wish they would do more. I liked playing BotW in VR a lot though I had to play laying down but I found that the sense of scale is properly realized. I found it really cool

[@glenfoxh]

The big cardboard LABO VR blaster is fun. Is a lot of work to make though. But once made, is not bad. Is the best experience I had with any Switch VR game.

[@heckensteiner4713]

Great breakdown! I totally agree with all of it, but Labo VR is super fun! It's like Wario Ware for VR with lots of micro games (some better than others) and a few longer experiences. I had a blast with the dedicated blaster game! I played that one quite a few times, but pumping the gun into my face made my nose hurt after while. If you're curious about VR on Switch, Labo VR is definitely the game to get. Just be aware that crafting the different cardboard devices takes a really long time, but that's just of the experience. If you don't have a lot of time on your hands, just get the basic VR blaster kit without the other peripherals.

[@SalvableRuin]

The next Switch iteration could have decent VR. I want Mario Kart and Metroid Prime in VR

[@jeremymklinger]

I really thought Mario kart 8 would support it, but I guess not. The 3ds Mario kart had a first person mode, but I guess they cut it.

[@SalvableRuin]

@Jeremy Klinger It just makes sense. Endless fun that would be relatively simple to implement.

[@roka102]

It definitely should!

[@currybeans]

Metroid Prime VR sounds so heavenly.

[@siggenx]

This video popped up on my fyp. Actually quality content. Good job. Would like the same style of video from new PS VR2.

[@Dr18Registered]

the labo vr kit software does have genuinely nice little vr experiences, I liked them

[@Thatonewarriorfan]

How do you download ot

[@jedesgr]

tbh if metroid used it everyone would love it

[@idonotexist5119]

2:58 bro's got his priorities straight😂

[@wumixe]

Whoa! Thought this video would have more views! Nice video. A real nintendo headset that could play Beat Saber and stuff would be a dream!

[@jeremymklinger]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, an actual vr console made by Nintendo would be crazy!

[@ego-lay_atman-bay]

Especially since joycon are basically just worse vr controllers.

[@CathyVaughn-lc2jb]

Thank you for that review! Probably saved me and others time and money! Love the Switch Oled for its purpose, but that's it.

[@praxedissanchez5101]

I hope one day modders will go crazy with labo vr and start making vr modes for games

[@1idiotatnight]

I see a lot of potential in vr support like the joy cons would work like the normal vr control and you could just get a break and a console at the same time plus that touch screen Soooo much potential

[@bvelez6463]

I like what you put on you're face. Earned a sub. 😂

[@ChaptonLite]

that was my first experience in vr and IDK why but i loved it so muche that i get myself a rift s(WHAT A WRONG IDEA) and now i want to switch to a valve index(i played Switch VR 2 years after buying a rift s and found it horrible), awesome video!

[@financialzero5684]

I have the full VR labo set, and it was loads of fun to make all the toy-cons and then be able to use them in VR. But once you have an actual headset like the Quest 2, the labo kit starts to lose its charm. Still fun to make, but you can also get the variety pack, or the vehicle kit, and use those in Mario Kart.

[@ianskiver6246]

lmfao the Eye-Toy what a throwback

[@luluamu]

Having to used the joycons attached while switch stuck to the face is kinda hilarious. I guess there is/was an open position at Nintendo as a user experience designer

[@shadainbond]

Bro i was dying the entire video 😂😂

[@dylanbraamse8365]

Jeremy Klinger how do you play skyrim on nintendo switch vr labo including master sword, hylian shield and champion's tunic?

[@funknugget6334]

2:57 BILLS MAFIAAAA

[@zeymbesthehedgehog]

You know this is beneficial for people that are just trying to play their favorite games but in the same time making sure that their health is stable because you are literally making exercises through playing your favorite games in VR you are in movement it could give some head sickness for moving that much but ones you keep playing it you get used to it so yeah it's a win win for some people that has the chance to have VR headset

[@itsjoseph360]

That SAB2 in ur background🔥

[@SvetlyootSofia]

Thank you for shearing!

[@AvJoJoFan]

Love the content!

[@charliemasterton]

Hi Jeremy, how does this work with VR videos on KZbin? Does moving your head move the video around, or do you need to use the joycon controller?

[@theschinken]

Well, since I hate myself what should I get first the fork or the Nintendo Labo VR set?

[@TheRealLoopDev]

I think nintendo vr is a onest first try to vr games, most of the games are not adapted right but the labo offers lots of good minigames to try, sure is not like oculus, vive or psVR. But for trying for the first time vr and not spenting lot moneys I think is pretty good

[@MrVariant]

Sucks that they didn't have the lite in mind. I had fun with the labo blaster honestly. The cardboard was fun, you're not a fan of solid snake I see. Building was fun and more affordable than vr2

[@ego-lay_atman-bay]

They didn't have the vr in mind when they made the lite, because lite came out years after labo.

[@MrVariant]

@ego-lay_atman-bay there is a dying word called compatibility. Was nice to use the lite gyroscope with new pokemon snap at least though some of those things were way too hidden.

[@ego-lay_atman-bay]

@@MrVariant wait, why doesn't pokemon snap have vr compatibility?

[@MrVariant]

@ego-lay_atman-bay no I meant that when I play new pokemon snap, I can move the system itself to turn and take pics even on a switch lite due to gyroscopes that weren't even necessary. It's a nice comparison honestly.

[@ego-lay_atman-bay]

@@MrVariant I know, I was just mentioning the fact that it's weird that it pokemon snap doesn't have vr support.

[@Nitro187]

Rosalina is thickkkk

[@smittyvanjagermanjenson182]

This why I'm hoping the next Nintendo system is a switch built like a pimax portal. 6dof tracking and plenty of "quest 2-like" quality titles would work extremely well, while it could still be used as a hand held or on a TV for traditional games.

[@williamwesley4575]

Bro, I got a VR headset that was meant for Nintendo and it’s showing me on each side two screens so altogether for some reason I’m seeing for screens of the same thing

[@grey5751]

Well, this was definitely worth a video.

[@landondahmes3589]

"woaaahhhh nausea" 💀💀🤣🤣🤣

[@esodelixuser]

6:54 mario be going wild 🥶

[@Teunail]

The reason you can only play smash handheld in vr, is because the nintendo labo headset DOESNT have straps, so you have to hold the headset up to your face (unless you use a 3rd party headset), I KNOW THIS because i had (and have) every single Nintendo labo set

[@pinkmell0w]

I'm gonna need that Rosalina art, chief

[@TR-Mr.Moon_RTX]

The way he said he wants rosalina to sit on his face,Tbh i do too😂

[@godz2928]

Why would u attatch your joycon when using vr? U like the extra weight?

[@IllegallyAcquiredKIA]

Hopefully TOTK has a proper first person VR mode probably wouldn't look half bad on the OLED either

[@tim-kevinwahlert250]

Sorry, but i don't think there will be a first person mode.

[@IllegallyAcquiredKIA]

@@tim-kevinwahlert250 any reason?

[@tim-kevinwahlert250]

@@IllegallyAcquiredKIA I could be wrong too! But somehow such a mode doesn't quite "fit" into the game...

[@Moshugaani]

@@tim-kevinwahlert250 Huh, now that I think of it, you could only go to a "first person" view in BotW with the Sheikah Slate in telescope mode or camera mode. Previous games had you in first person for bows, hookshot etc. but BotW remains in third person.

[@Moshugaani]

@@IllegallyAcquiredKIA Nintendo is quite stubborn. They only included VR in BotW for novelty's sake while they were trying to sell Labo. But since Labo is already a thing of the past they have no reason to include a VR mode in TotK in their mind. Also it's a niche application which exceedingly few people would even use, so they're not going to spend time to make it.

[@chrisbaughman7833]

I’m pretty sure the Nintendo Labo VR headset was designed for the switch and the every other VR headset wasn’t really made for it so if you try the cardboard, one is look better

[@Hunter-gj9yq]

I mean any game with motion control can be played in “vr” if you have a cheap customized headset. I got mine from a dinosaur book thing which I gutted and cut up until I liked it. So, games like Metroid prime or Doom (2016) can be played in “vr” Now I have that custom headset and a switch lite, which fits with the headset, and I believe this allows me to connect separate joycons to my device and I think it could work, I don’t have separate joycons right now however

[@someoneontheinternet3090]

Reflex Unit 2 was out on GearVR years ago. Long before it came to Switch. It was great on that.

[@davide2.07]

What is that narration technique you have where first half of sentence ends slightly higher (like raising a question) and then second half of sentence on a more resting tone (like an answer)?

[@jeremymklinger]

Tbh, that’s just how I present, idk what it is. Why?

[@Rendoves]

wait i just realized splatoon could be compatible because when you move the switch it moves with you they would just have to make the screen work with it

[@Driftimator]

1:45 that no though😂

[@BlakesGamingReal]

Can you maybe link the headset ?

[@kalisanerd]

The knight of queen looks like some game you'd see in gumball

[@garsrandom4358]

let's hope some of the best VR games come to switch so it's actually worth it

[@adamreneau9213]

Does anybody have the sauce for that Rosalina image???

[@MojoMicah]

What if you get a tv or android tablet the same size as a switch And use that switch dongle to boost the resolution And then put That in the VR headset thing

[@redstarfire4037]

it's rather ironic that the best section of the first party VR supported bits was captain toads rail shooter thing. Because that's not even nintendo making something new for it. They just took the Wii U motion aiming of that section that worked exactly the same way, but put the screen right infront of your head

[@shashaicandoit]

Thanks for your honest review

[@gotrejo]

Rosalina for something you wanna put on your face is so real

[@OfficialToonby]

I love this guy

[@MuljoStpho]

I vaguely recall seeing the Lab-O VR Kit before but I never considered buying it (or any of the other Lab-O stuff) and forgot it had ever been a thing until seeing it again just now. I've kinda just ignored everything VR related, really. Never tried any kind of setup that works with a cell phone. Never tried the dedicated PC setups like Oculus or... whatever the other one typically mentioned on VR games on Steam is. I did try the Virtual Boy that one time it was on a store display in Toys R Us when I was a kid and at the time I thought that was neat, but it had already been swept under the rug by the next time I went in there.

[@SailorChristian]

Is this with the regular o OLED Switch? Even if both screens are 720p I imagine the OLED would look better?

[@DE23]

Since the OLED's screen is larger, the image actually shrinks, meaning that less of the pixels are used

[@elrahim6972]

Did Nintendo reach out to you for the Nintendo Focus

[@josiahbeck6706]

For smash if you open camera controls you can control where the hard point is

[@waltomato]

Have you tried with oled switch compared to normal one?

[@jeremymklinger]

I have not, but I assume it’s mostly the same. All the vr games came out before the oled was released, and the screen isn’t a different resolution

[@caco-bob7889]

I want to play doom eternal but in vr but on switch it doesn't have a setting for that.

[@redrum_bd1036]

The daisy joke chaught me off guard XD

[@noahsabadish3812]

the Rosalina one you mean? 🍑

[@der_noa]

The Nintendo Switch and its joycons were conceptually ideal for VR, I can't believe they didn't tap in on that

[@smittyvanjagermanjenson182]

Yes and no. The switch would need a camera based solution, because tracking everything via gyro input is pretty much impossible. If the next switch was built like a pimax portal, then it would be ideal

[@der_noa]

@@smittyvanjagermanjenson182 well yeah, the switch is only ideal in concept and not in practice. It should have a camera or something else for tracking purposes but it's also missing a better resolution, frame rate, processing power or battery life. But luckily the switch's very core attribute and gimmick is that it's a modular console, meaning that if they really wanted to, they could've designed some VR glasses for the switch equipped with their own set of cameras as a sort of extension for the tracking system. And of they're low power enough, these cameras could be powered by the switch when its plugged but it would be even better if the glasses came with their own battery. Not only would this not drain the switch any further than it already does on its own but it might even aid the battery life and lower the drain rate for an hour or more

[@yellowbatman6395]

​@@der_noa I don't think the switch in its current state is powerful enough for vr

[@sahmus]

This man just said he was "spoiled" while wearing a quest 2 with the default strap.

[@ummidk757]

I feel like vr in the future has some potential for nintendo but not as a actually console more as a extra feature

[@The-Epic-Jaysp]

Still wanna play zelda Vr tho Wonder How to hook my switch my oculus?? 😅

[@StonerGamingParadise]

What about the oled version of the switch?

[@luisfonseca811]

Did they include VR into the new Jurassic park survival game?? Cuz it is on PC, it would be a missed opportunity if they didn't

[@darkshock42mlg05]

I saw the nintendo labo vr as the second iterationof google cardboard. Remember that. It was cardboard with lenses and the display was your smartphone. Of course since your smrtphone's display is essentually cut in half to display the same image twice it wasn't even 720p.

For smash bros originally when I played it you could only view replays the must of changed it

bro you think the quest 2 is comfortable without any 3rd party straps?????

[@stefanspelt3578]

9:53 Wait, is this the only way to play the minecart stage with motion controls? Why didn't they just add in motion controls to the base game?

[@lucywoomy]

Just here to complain about the quest 2. The default head strap doesn’t work well with the shape of my head. No matter how I set it, it rests almost all the weight on my forehead and it hurts after just a few minutes. After playing for a while I can get anything between the classic red marks to a headache depending on how long I played. I’ll have to buy a new head strap if I want a confortable experience. The game library is massive but maybe you will have to buy extra accessories for the headset to be comfortable. Think about that before buying a quest 2

[@deeznutz_911]

does fans vr work on it cuz that would be cool?
