@Ninfan Yeah...there's only a few Switch games that are compatible with the Labo VR set. The game that comes with the set is probably the most you're gonna get out of it.
@MarioLover92 what game comes bundled with the headset. I didn't get any game with it ?
The one on the left is the game card that comes with the set. You sure that wasn't included with yours? Because I've been reading the Q&A on Amazon's product page and it says it's there.

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
Hey people when i open my jap eshop account i saw Ys VIII: Lacrimosa has a trial version for membership. But real and interesting part when i check information part, i saw nintendo switch pro writing there. Is this some kind a error or was it always writing? Can someone check for me please? I am curious whats that mean.
@Slowdive Should have responded earlier I apologize. Markomaro is a leaker on Twitter that was right a couple of times I think he was among the firsts to leak the Mario 3d collection and Pikmin 3 deluxe port
@Slowdive I hate the Daily Express because they did it so much in 2020, saying "Direct this, Direct that," when we ultimately got nothing. Rumours for them are enough to justify another clickbaity article.
It's not difficult to assume it will. Especially while the Switch continues to sell record numbers. Including a streak of being the best selling console on the NPD chart for two years straight, until the PS5 ended said streak. And if the Switch is only halfway through its lifecycle (according to Nintendo), never mind Nintendo possibly extending that lifecycle with a mid-gen refresh, yeah...the Switch will be the all-time best selling console gaming platform ever in just a few more years.
It has the real potential to be console gaming's first platform to sell 200m+ units if Nintendo doesn't decide to pivot away from the Switch's hybrid design. But who knows, we understand "Nintendo being Nintendo", right? They might to decide to dump the hybrid design in a few years regardless of how well the Switch is currently doing.
@Slowdive@Magician Switch becoming the highest/best selling hardware of all time? for this to happen Switch would need to have a 8/10 year lifecycle, we are already on the half of it lifecycle, only 2/3 years for it sucessor to release, not going to happen.

8 years? Probably. But not 10. And 8 years would not be unexpected- in fact, it’s the most likely outcome.
Even 3DS was supported for 8 years, with a good 7 years before Switch released. And Nintendo said they want to extend the lifespan. They’ll for sure go 7. 100% confident of that. 8 years is probably a 65% chance, I’d estimate.
After 4 years on the market, from Mar 2017 to Mar 2021, Switch sold 84.5 million units. Last FY they did over 28 million alone- and this FY they’re projecting 25 million. Let’s assume they do 25.5 million to land at 110 million sold after 5 full years on the market. Ok.
At this point, IF they only give Switch 7 years, it would need to average another 22.5 million per year for the final two years. That could be 23-22, or that could be 25-20. A tall order, given sales will likely start dropping after the 5th year, but it’s possible, even in 7 years.
If they give Switch 8 years, it’s all but certain. They’d only need to average 15 million per year for the final 3 years. If they do another 25 as projected, coming off that momentum with a new revision to boot, they’d almost certainly be able to push 20 for FY6. Which means, they’d only need another 25 million in the final two years. So 15-10 to wrap it up, and break the record.
At worst, we’re looking at the 3rd best selling console of all time, though it will at least land within 10 mil of the DS/PS2. It would be close. At best, I think it’ll barely scrape by with 160 mil sold to break the record.
@Giancarlothomaz Keep in mind that the PS2 didn't become the all-time best selling home console (155m) over the span of your typical console lifecycle, which is seven years on average. Sony didn't discontinue PS2 until 2013, it was still selling well even up until then. Or are you suggesting Nintendo will never lower the price of the Switch or Switch Lite at any point in time? Come on now, be reasonable, the Switch will become the all-time best selling home eventually.
Don't blink, you'll miss it.
Switch Physical Collection - 1,561 games (as of April 18th, 2026)
Switch 2 Physical Collection - 4 games (as of December 8th, 2025)
@Magician as ps2 was a case on its own as you mention and if you see sales of 3ds for instance (which fell of a cliff after Pokémon on Switch) it is not certain that will surpass the 150M+ but at minimum it will get close to that number for sure.
I still don't get how Nintendo is expecting to sell 25M+ this fiscal year with the components short supply and in comparison with lockdown last year though. The way I see it not even a pro model will boost to those numbers on a 5th year console.
@CactusMan The Gameboy Pocket was more like the DS Lite, a revision super early in the system's lifespan to alleviate hardware issues on the base model.
Plus... We already got the Switch's budget revision, the Switch Lite.
