After Labo VR and then getting a Quest, I’m convinced that we won’t get another Nintendo-style bundle of innovation like the Wii or DS until Nintendo goes harder into VR. It’s definitely missing that Nintendo style magic of Mario 64, WarioWare Twisted, Wii Sports, or even Nintendoland. At the same time, it’s the only place in gaming where I’ve felt a true paradigm shift lately.
I really can’t imagine Nintendo not having another input paradigm shift like the analog stick, touch screen, blowing into the mic, pointer, or motion controls without going all in on VR.
