Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04 VR Kit

I bet you didn’t see this coming. We are talking about Virtual Reality (VR) for Nintendo Switch. It is happening, though, and it is part of Nintendo’s Labo DIY cardboard-building gaming peripherals that debuted in January 2018, under a series known Toy-Con (which is NOT a toy convention, btw). The aim of Nintendo Labo is make Switch funner, like it not already is. I have to admit. It is kind of fun to see boxy cardboard robotic suit, fishing pole, steering wheel et cetera. Anywho, Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit, as it is called, is the latest to join the Toy-Con family.

The kit will come in two versions: a Starter Set + Blaster kit that includes the cardboard VR goggles and a cardboard blaster which, oddly, you have to put it to your face (I guess it feels more like aiming down a rifle?), and a complete kit that has everything, including software, goggles, the blaster plus 4 other VR Toy-Con projects comprising of Camera, Elephant (!?), Bird, and Wind Pedal. The smaller set, i.e. the Starter Set + Blaster kit, will retail for $40 ($39.99?) while the complete kit with all six cardboard peripherals will goes for $80 ($79.99?).

If you are not prepared to drop 80 bucks, you can go for starter kit and acquire the two expansions later on. Pricing for the expansion set is not known, though.
