Explore the moon in VR
Nintendo has done a great job of supporting its innovative Labo VR kit with free mini-games, and we've just been gifted yet another today.
Dubbed 'Lunar Exploration', the game tasks you with hopping into a lunar rover and exploring the surface of the earth's only natural satellite.
To download the game, head over to the Switch News channel for Nintendo Labo VR – and be sure to let us know what you think of it by posting a comment.

How many games exist for Labo VR in Europe?
This one came out forever ago, at least in the US, not sure if the schedules are different?
Just got an Oculus Quest and loving the world of VR. Really hoping that Nintendo gets on the full VR bandwagon at some point. The opportunities with their IP would be huge. My son in the interim will no doubt enjoy this update to labo VR and good to see Nintendo supporting products beyond release.
Got a few of these to catch up on. I never mastered the art of accessing these once they started being released.
Even though I own the Labo VR, I'd still rather have something like Rift or Playstation VR instead. Holding it the whole time is a pain, and I could really see some of nintendo's IP's being released in full virtual reality. Would love to play Pikmin, Pokemon, Link's Crossbow Training or even Wii Sports in full VR! Nintendo seems to be missing out on this, but I really honestly hope that their next console, they think about it!
I wish I had the option to buy these VR games to play with a regular controller, without the cardboard.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. VR needs a Mario Kart. And not just some overpriced, mall kiosk 3 minute VIVE demo. While it was fun, MK in VR deserves to be a full fledged MK experience.
...I would try this Labo VR thing out if more games used it. Thumper VR on Switch would be neat...but nope, not happening apparently. Same with Zen Pinball games...
Also I still wished Nintendo would do a Labo VR Pro, but we all know that ain't happening either.
@onex Definitely. It's a great kind of game for VR, since you don't necessarily want to have that thing on your head for that long and a regular race is just a few minutes and not too long. I wish it worked with the Vehicle Kit also, so we'd have the headset on our head, and we'd have the wheel, and pedal, so it would be pretty immersive (at least with some kind of head strap).
