Make, Play, Discover and Even Create Your Own VR Games
REDMOND,
Wash., April 12, 2019 – Battling aliens, feeding hippos, painting like
an elephant, flying on the back of a bird and so many other fun and
family-friendly virtual reality* experiences await in Nintendo Labo: VR Kit – now available exclusively for the Nintendo Switch system.
Combining the physical and digital gameplay of Nintendo Labo
with basic VR technology, Nintendo Labo: VR Kit introduces virtual
reality in a unique and approachable way for kids and families. After
making a variety of Toy-Con creations – like the Toy-Con VR Goggles,
Toy-Con Blaster, Toy-Con Elephant and Toy-Con Wind Pedal – out of the
included materials with the help of the included Nintendo Switch
software’s interactive instructions, you can play a variety of simple VR
games and experiences by combining your creations with the Nintendo
Switch system and its pair of Joy-Con controllers. Many of the Toy-Con
creations also provide sensory feedback, like a blast of air produced
from the Toy-Con Wind Pedal or a satisfying “click” of the Toy-Con
Blaster, to add to the overall VR experience. You can even design your
own bite-sized VR games and experiences with the included programming
tools.
“Nintendo
Labo: VR Kit is another unique Nintendo Labo experience that further
blends the physical and digital worlds to bring the gameplay to life,”
said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales
and Marketing. “Many of our young fans – and even some of our older ones
– have yet to try virtual reality, so this is an approachable way for
kids and families to get introduced to this new world.”
All
the games and experiences in Nintendo Labo: VR Kit are designed to be
shareable, fun and social. By alternating turns, everyone in the room
can watch and enjoy each other’s reactions
and join in the fun. Some games even allow players who aren’t looking
into the Toy-Con VR Goggles to interact with the on-screen
experience. For example, if you are enjoying the in-game ocean and
taking photos with the Toy-Con Camera, another person in the room can
wear the Toy-Con Snorkel and step in front of the Camera to make a
bug-eyed fish swim quickly toward your face.
Two
programing tools are included with the Nintendo Labo: VR Kit software.
Toy-Con Garage is the tool that is returning from previous kits and
optimized for this kit’s Toy-Con creations. Toy-Con Garage VR is a new
tool that allows you to create your own VR games and experiences. In
fact, Toy-Con Garage VR is the tool that the development team used to
create everything in VR Plaza, where over 60 more bite-sized games and
experiences await. It’s easy to go “under the hood” to see how the
development team put everything in VR Plaza together. You can use what
you’ve learned to start new projects from scratch, or even open VR Plaza
games in the Toy-Con Garage VR programming tool and use them as a
starting point.
Two
primary configurations for Nintendo Labo: VR Kit are now available in
stores – one that includes all Toy-Con creations and one that includes a
smaller selection of projects to get started:
- Nintendo Labo: VR Kit: Available at a suggested retail price of $79.99, the complete Nintendo Labo: VR Kit includes the Nintendo Switch software and materials to build all six Toy-Con projects – the Toy-Con VR Goggles, Toy-Con Blaster, Toy-Con Camera, Toy-Con Bird, Toy-Con Wind Pedal and Toy-Con Elephant – as well as a Screen Holder and other accessories. It’s a good option for kids and families who want to dive into the full experience.
- Nintendo Labo: VR Kit – Starter Set + Blaster: Available at a suggested retail price of only $39.99, the Starter Set includes the Nintendo Switch software, plus all the components to build the Toy-Con VR Goggles and Toy-Con Blaster, as well as the Screen Holder and other accessories. The Starter Set is a great entry point into the world of Nintendo Labo VR.
Soon
the Toy-Con VR Goggles from the Nintendo Labo: VR Kit will allow you to
enjoy bonus experiences for two of the most popular Nintendo Switch
games in a whole new way! On April 25, free software updates for the Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
games will add compatibility with the Toy-Con VR Goggles from the
Nintendo Labo: VR Kit, giving owners of the software some simple and fun
bonus experiences to enjoy. In Super Mario Odyssey, you can play three new mini-missions in three familiar kingdoms. You can also experience the adventure of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild like never before by exploring the vast world of Hyrule with VR visuals and gyro functionality.
