Nintendo has released an update to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, bringing the game to version 3.1.0, allowing you to use the game with the Nintendo Labo VR Kit. Experience Smash Bros. in a whole new way with VR, through seeing offline matches through the Toy-Con Goggles. You can either fight versus up to three other CPU fighters in timed battles, or just watch the AI fight against each other, while you view from a slightly zoomed in camera angle. To use the Labo VR Kit with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, all you need to do is update to the latest version, and select "VR" from the Games & More menu.

• Offline

I thought that was just a joke where the video zooms into the goggles and yoshi hits you with a hammer

 

[Mama Looigi]

You can’t do online matches?

 

[Hells Malice]

I have so many questions

 

[Delerious]

Big est question is: how much will I vomit?

I like the way they are approaching labo vr as a fun add on to already existing games. Good guy Nintendo isn't going the dlc route even though it's definitely costing them development hours.

 

[AutumnWolf]

No Nintendo, not every game needs VR support

 

[Pluupy]

If I can't pet Link like puppies in Nintendogs, VR is useless.

 

[osaka35]

Doesn't it look like potatoes with 720p, split, right up on your face, like the other vr stuff?

Still neat though. They're testing the waters looks like. I wonder how they'll do vr in the future with multiplayer in mind, as that's sure to be their goal. Expect that to be the next big thing from them. In 5 years.

Why?

 

[CallmeBerto]

Huh, this is actually pretty damn cool. They are trying out different things with VR as a way to test the waters. Got to say this is my fav one yet. Being able to get a new view on stages does look pretty cool.

Still no Mario Kart 8 VR? WTF Nintendo

 

[Rabbid4240]

Ffs why can't they just make it first-person

Ffs why can't they just make it first-person

Because there aren't enough barf bags on planet Earth to handle that.

It actually made me wonder if there was a first-person game for Virtual Boy. Turns out there was just one, and it was released only in Japan. RIP those unfortunate souls unlucky enough to have experienced that game.

How will you hold it and fight at the same time?

 

[shadow1w2]

Oh a game where it's already hard enough to see your character or tell when your too close to the edge, with even sometimes players ending up off screen for extended amounts of time.... so VR it? Why....
A novelty I guess but it's a strange addition, seems almost desperate.
The camera won't move and you get a seated view of the game, so it really won't help with locating your character.
Seems like a VR hack via Dolphin but much worse, eh, better the VR labo thing gets some use I guess but it's still pretty poor.

The Amiibo journey seems like a good idea though.
Always nice if we can do more with those darn things, not that anyone is able to buy them or anything but nice we can atleast do more with them.

How will you hold it and fight at the same time?

Maybe they expect players to use it with the joy cons docked and hold it up to their face.
That or it's only for watching replays?

Is there a 3rd party vr kit or something for switch or are we still stuck using Nintendo vr kit. I remember seeing a link with different google brands glasses but I’m not sure if any of those would work out with the switch.

 

[Xzi]

How will you hold it and fight at the same time?

Not easily or for very long, that's for sure.

Still can't believe they didn't include a basic effing headstrap.

 

[Jimbo_Slim]

Just updated, Amiibo Journey sounds neat, but you have to leave your Switch on, and not in sleep mode. It has to keep an internet connection which means it's really better off when you're busy or asleep. Still neat.

 

[D34DL1N3R]

Why would anyone buy into this unless it's for a child? It's not even technically VR whatsoever. It's like those worthless $20 "VR" devices from Wal-Mart that you stick your phone in. Garbage.
