Nintendo was one of the first gaming companies to embrace motion controls, but it may have already missed its chance to do the same with virtual reality. Nonetheless, Nintendo is still at least somewhat interested in the emerging technology, as the company has shared that it’s currently “looking” at virtual reality, which doesn’t tell us much, but it tells us something.

Nintendo has shared that they are “looking” at virtual reality, suggesting that the company is actively maintaining interest in emerging devices. That doesn’t necessary indicate that virtual reality will be a key aspect with their new “dedicated game platform,” the Nintendo NX. But, it could mean that it may support virtual reality devices, as Microsoft have done with Xbox One and Oculus Rift. Kantan Games CEO Dr. Serkan Toto, who recently suggested that Super Smash Bros. would accompany the Nintendo NX launch, was at Nintendo’s investor briefing where the company discussed their third-quarter financial results. They confirmed that their smart device plans remain unchanged, which will see Miitomo and My Nintendo roll out in March.
