It's going to be similar to Google's Cardboard VR.
AND it's only going to work with the NEW Switch that will be smaller and lighter with a 1080p screen and higher refresh rate. This will make it competent enough to match PSVR.
Maybe Nintendo delayed Metroid because they wanted it to be VR.
@avocadopear People like eating at McDonalds, but do they know who's behind the company? (No, it's not a clown.) Samsung, Coca Cola, Disney, IKEA, etc: do you know who's behind the company? Nobody cares, they like the product, don't care who's making them.
Believe it or not, people (gamers) in Japan don't care about news like that. They don't know who Hideo Kojima is or even Miyamoto. You can speak to Japanese and they will look confused when you mentioned individuals from games companies.
In Japan, they only recognise brand: Nintendo, Sega, Capcom, etc. Only in the West, people worshipped the individual game creators.
Port, remake, port, remastered, definitive edition, ultimate edition, eternal collection, really super duper final edition, etc.
I am bored of all these laziness in games development lately. All these redressing, reskinning of old games and resold them at full price. What's the matter Nintendo? Ran out of creativity?
Metroid Prime 4 is coming out in a few months. Nintendo is going announce at the Direct: "LOL Please understand, it was a joke: we did not cancelled Metroid Prime 4, it's coming out soon."
Nintendo deserves this for making a lazy port. No 3D and can't even run at 60 fps. The old DS game is 60 fps and looks better, what's the point of this port then?
No Shat Sherlock, by copyright claiming Youtube videos Nintendo discouraged gamers from streaming their games: of course fewer people knew about the system.
"Oh Switch, I've heard of it, it's like a portable Wii U right? They said Wii U was a failure, then this Switch must be a failure too... no wonder so few people stream Nintendo games."
Nintendo is going to copyright claim those videos.
But this is nothing compared to North Korea where they ripoff Call of Duty's video cutscenes and show it on TV as propaganda for their military might. The poor people in NK never played video games, they believed their supreme leader has super CG power.

Sound is vibration... it's really common sense. When you put your hand on a loudspeaker, you can feel the vibration which is similar to HD rumble.
Best use of it in games that I tried: Lumines, Mario Tennis, Pinball FX3 and Thumper.
Games like Wargroove uses it as an alert, it's extremely useful for a portable system. When I finished my turn I put the Switch on my lap and watch TV, it will buzz when it's my turn again. Even deaf people can appreciate it's usefulness. That's something most people never think about: it's accessibility for the handicapped.
@Yozora146_ Do you know how chips got faster every year? They moved from 20nm to 14nm to 10nm and now reaching 7nm. It's nanotechnology, they are shrinking the silicon so it won't overheat. This way they can increase the clock speed and make the chip faster.
Current Tegra X1 is using 20nm process, if Nvidia moved it to 14nm while retaining current clock speed: there won't be any need to cool the chip and it won't throttle. When they shrink the chip they usually did it so they can increase the clock speed, but if you don't increase the speed: no fan is needed.
@Yozora146_ Apple's A12 chip has the same performance as Xbox One, it's using 7nm process. In comparison Tegra X1 is using 20nm, which is really ancient... If Nvidia built a new batch of X1 for Nintendo using 14nm, there will be no need for cooling and may even extend battery life.
@AlexSora89 Have you even played it? Or did you only watched trailers? The cut scenes are slow and cheesy, they should fired the editors and directors for those cut scenes.
Without docking support, they can get rid of the internal fan and heat sink to shrink it.
If the joy-con starts drifting you can't buy a new one to replace it as it's no longer modular. They better make long lasting analog sticks. Also, this thing won't support LABO... it's basically a 2DS.
KH3 is really cringy and awkward in the cut scenes, whoever made them should be fired. Why didn't they asked professionals from Disney to direct and create those cut scenes?

@Zuljaras CPU/GPU in the latest smartphones are faster than Tegra X1, they don't need cooling.

@Zuljaras Nvidia probably built them a new 10nm Tegra chip that doesn't need cooling and more power efficient so the battery will last a few hrs more.
