If the Switch had accurate gyroscopes this COULD actually work as a proper VR headset. Headaches and retina damage would probably still be inevitable though...
That's the reason why they didn't include a head strap on the original virtual boy because strapping it to your head would encourage you to keep it on too long
Yeah but that was back in the day when they didn't have the power to actually deliver. The original VB had a life span of one year with 22 games. It died fast. With the tech we have today like PSVR, it'd actually stand a chance.
@@JamesDGoins I'm not talking about the Virtual Boy though? This whole joke video from IGN failed to take into account that the Switch is VR capable and like 15 games support VR on it. Zelda Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Captain Toad and Smash Ultimate all have official Nintendo made VR modes. Did everyone just forget lol
Got us again, Nintendo! 👉😀👉 Remember last year when Nintendo pranked us with having the Mario movie cast replace the video game actors in the games? Hilarious!
Wait this would kind of go hard though, imagine compatibility with mario kart home circuit, where you could see the whole course on the ground as you race around
Nintendo straight up trolling its fanbase with a false promise that they would actually develop gaming hardware that is actually considered standard of the time and not outdated😂
Looks like one of the reviewers had to curate this joke but said it was too hard so you don't even need to read the comments to see it's an april fool's joke 💀
Somewhat related, but it would be awesome if we got a new version of photo dojo that allows you to manually trim the edges of sprites, custom amounts of sprites per animation, expanded movesets and more.
Could be a small nod that they are working on something VR based, with the quest and vision pro making a splash in the market now, it could be finally happening at Nintendo
Can't take anything seriously with today being April Fools lol - Would be hilarious if Nintendo actually did bring back the Virtual Boy tho
With all the bull$#@% I've had seen on Twitter lately, it's hard to believe anything anymore.
it says quite literally at the end "this is a joke, not a real product" lol
for real man xD
Nintendo switch should bring back the classic virtual boy games that would be so cool.
Damn........I forgot it's April 1st.........
Open Road mario looks fun. The cops are just another obstacle to avoid
They’re the blue shell
Remind me of when people joked about Mario Kart Go aftet the succes of pokémon go
Mario Kart turns into GTA real quick
Sad
Nah It Turns Into NFS@@_bsmusic_
0:27 this part goes hard
Tom Nook giving free rent is the most April Fools thing possible
Why does he sound like Reggie tho?
HE DOSEN'T NEED AUTOTUNE🔥🔥🔥
0:54😂😂😂😂
0:07 The Wii U home menu sound 😂
Also simple Wii too

No!😡
from the WII

0:49 OMG THE LUIGI DEATH STARE
He turned into Wario. 😂
Woooooooh!
It's back.
Officer: "do you have any idea how fast you were going?"
Me: "I'm using tilt controls!"
“They see me rollin…….”
The landlord giving free rent is where it’s very obviously an April fools joke.
LM4 just vacuuming, they did Luigi dirty! Lol
We saw the outside perspective, inside the headset she was sucking up 1000’s of ghosts breaking new records!
Can't wait to race Luigi on public roads, all those coins ill be collecting!! =P
The Mario Home Run is actually not a bad idea
Great idea.
Out of all of them that one would sell very well!
if nintendo's next console has ar stuff then this would be really cool
Genuinely could be a hint...
For a week it’d be popular.
The only gag missing is the the $4999 price tag.
Should have been €6940
0:58 “This is a parody, not a real product.” 😂
😂😂
In case liberals watch this 😂

@@juliamulyk941It’s an April Fools joke
There were parts at the beginning which looked genuinely interesting

Some games already have VR...
That's the reason why they didn't include a head strap on the original virtual boy because strapping it to your head would encourage you to keep it on too long
Now that's the Virtual Boy experience.
With that screen resolution and device's weight?
@@noc44the switch is almost half the weight of a Quest 2 with joycons detached
All jokes aside this is actually a cool idea for a Nintendo product. Provided we get safe games for it
It literally IS a Nintendo product lol. It already happened.

they did!!????
It looked so real man.
I'm so sorry for your family.
Me too!! 🫣
0:07 wii home button pause goes hard
That’s how you do an April fools joke
Would be a cool idea for the next switch to go from TV to handheld to VR
This wouldn't be a virtual boy. It would be an Augmented Reality Boy. 😅
To be fair, the actual virtual boy wasn't virtual either, it was just 3D.
Eh. Tomato tomahto.
Luigi death stare! 0:47
Nice April fools joke
Thx for killing the joke

ok cutting to just her vacuuming was genius!
The real vacuum for Luigi’s mansion was too funny! 😂
😂😂😂😂
Luigi's mansion 4 is supposed to be like Luigi's mansion 1 2 and 3 not this
@@LincolnOakley-o3dit’s a April fools joke
Can't wait to see how Metroid Prime 4 plays out on the Virtual Boy Pro
😂 almost forgot days date. Vid games announcements and news are going to be interesting today!
Man, Mario and Luigi's models look so weird that it makes this funnier
“Super Mario Home Run”
Ok thats actually super clever 😭
It's insane that Animal Crossing in VR doesn't already exist.
It does just different name
@@sheLuvsManny What is it?
@@sheLuvsManny What is it called?
The joke would work a bit better if Labo VR (literally a cheap cardboard box) didn't already happen, haha.
Seriously, did IGN just forget that this literally happened?
Got us again, Nintendo! 👉😀👉
Remember last year when Nintendo pranked us with having the Mario movie cast replace the video game actors in the games? Hilarious!
😬
Oh IGN you really got me with this one 😏
The most unbelievable thing in this video is a landlord saying this months rent is on him
Truly an apple vision moment
Nintendo VisionU
Right?
What?
We need a Nintendo take on the light gun genre and bring back Duck Hunt IP.
If it didn’t say at the end it was a joke, it could’ve very well been an actual product, this is Nintendo after all
Not with the Nintendo Switch though.
Virtual Boy brings back beautiful memories
Can't wait to buy it! :^)
April fools
@@DarkLordSauronrocksthat’s the joke
😂😂😂😂
@@DarkLordSauronrocks 😳😳😳😳no way
That last bit with Mario kart was the icing to the cake... Excellently done 😂
They have a headstrap unlike the the original Virtual Boy
This got me in the first half when I watched this back in April not gonna lie.
Thought this was real for a sec lol
Me too
Honestly this would be cool for VR games lol maybe not exclusive games tho
How would you see the world with no camera on the switch.....
The Luigi bit got me.
If only nintendo did make a vr headset with they first party games I'm sure it would be very fun
CitraVr but nah Nintendo would ruin the fun with how their company is
Honestly that Mario Home Run would be incredible
And Zelda crossbow training to
This will true in 3 years 🤘🏼
Love your production quality!!! Great job guys!
a Nintendo vr system would be a cool concept
Wait this would kind of go hard though, imagine compatibility with mario kart home circuit, where you could see the whole course on the ground as you race around
oh yeah Virtual Boy is now on the 3DS!!!!!!!!
Now there's gonna be an actual knockoff of this headstrap on WISH within 2 months
The fact that y’all acknowledged the Virtual Boy is insane
No need to disrespect the Virtual Boy like that, Nintendo 😢
this would actually be a pretty sick product lol. it's what mobile VR headset should strive to be, it would make the tech a lot more mainstream
You got me. But it’s probably closer to what the next switch will look like then any other speculation
I'm still waiting for a decent Nintendo VR
(You really catched the Nintendo's commercial essence at the beginning)
Nintendo straight up trolling its fanbase with a false promise that they would actually develop gaming hardware that is actually considered standard of the time and not outdated😂

the beef with luigi is crazyyyyyyyyy
He is coming

Don't worry... 1 April
Who is this comment for? 😭
You actually got me for a sec
The real joke is that you're getting a preview of what Nintendo has planned for the Virtual Switch Pro.
Luigi upgrading from Death Stare to full-on throat-cut gesture...
Remember guys, it's April now
Adding gaming elements to regular vacuuming is not a bad idea and the Mario Home Run would be nice
Nintendo is poking fun at how gimmicky they used to be/still are
This is how Nintendo gets reactions without actually saying this could be their next system to phish for reactions.
FINALLY
April fools
Open road is so epic,the new dead body item is GOATED btw
is this april fools joke? you got me fooled
Keep forgetting what day this is lmaoooo
Never thought that Nintendo Would get in on April Fools' joke.
You got us, lol
Happy April fools day!
Why isn’t this a real thing
Cant wait for Mario Kart Open Road!
April 1 is the only day of the year when normal people lie and, for a change, politicians sometimes tell the truth.
0:32- you can tell this is an April fools joke because Tom nook would never hand out free rent and would instead tell you that rent is going up.
It would probably genuinely sell better than PSVR2! 😅
@:20 a new super Mario run called Super Mario Home Run @0:35 a new Luigi's mansion game
@0:41 a new Mario kart game
会話がとび森の字幕になるやつ好き普通に欲しいw
Oh naw they got the Luigi death stare and everything
0:38 lol, it’s just vacuuming 😂
Somewhat related, but it would be awesome if we got a new version of photo dojo that allows you to manually trim the edges of sprites, custom amounts of sprites per animation, expanded movesets and more.
Nintendo be making better products for April Fools Day than they actually do 😭
This is an IGN April Fools tho 😭
People who have AR Glasses : I'm four parallel universes ahead of you
0:07 anyone else hear the wii home button menu opening sound? or is it just me
strapping whole switch to face. this is hilarious.
This would be hilarious ngl
That last joke almost feels like something Caddicarus would have cooked up
Wouldn't be surprised if Switch 2 had a VR/AR mode and attachment
0:26 who is that guy?
its wild that this is official from nintendo
