When playing through Breath of the Wild with the VR Goggles, with the Joy-Cons slotted firmly into the sides (as they would be in handheld mode), a head strap wouldn’t go amiss. Leaning back into my chair, propped up by a few pillows, was certainly the most comfortable way to play. And though the visuals stutter every now and then with weather transitions, Breath of the Wild performs nicely in VR. Besides, it’s pretty neat to feel fully immersed in the game – even if the visuals don’t quite take your breath away. I only wish we could use the wind pedal – or any of the other Toy-Con – as a way to glide through an updraft. Can we get a Toy-Con Sword next time, please? You just know there’s some grass itching to be cut.
With all Toy-Cons considered, Labo VR is a mixed bag of playability. Its replay value relies on competing with others, and there’s no rewards or special unlockables if you beat the high score. The focus on quantity over quality is a little unorthodox too, given how scarce the content for Labo has historically been. But, when all things are said and done, Labo VR is a good bit of fun for the kids, especially with its ability to be used in conjunction with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey on April 26th. And don’t worry, we’ll be writing a mini review of how they shape up in VR very soon. But for now, that’s all folks.
Amusing interactive programming tools for children and family-friendly games. Good, but not perfect choice for the first VR experience.

Nintendo’s take on virtual reality is as whimsical and unique as you might expect, trading technical superiority for childlike wonder and imagination.
