Nintendo Talks About VR

Current VR is not a "good fit" for Nintendo’s philosophy of living room play.

Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto, in an interview with Yahoo Tech, revealed that current Virtual Reality tech isn’t a good fit for the company.

"The current types of virtual reality aren’t really a good fit for Nintendo’s philosophy of trying to create entertainment that people can play together in the living room," said Miyamoto. "We’re not feeling virtual reality is currently in a place where it’s ready to be released – as a product that fits with our philosophy of fitting in the living room."

Miyamoto continued on to say that even though Nintendo is always looking at and experimenting with different areas of technology, it has nothing to announce at present whether it too will soon ride the VR wave.

"We’re here at E3 this year to focus on games launching within the next year or so," he said. "We’re not showing off or showcasing anything that’s further down the road, and that’s why you don’t see us here with any samples of potential virtual reality type experiences."
