Nintendo secures a patent for a non-cardboard VR headset for Switch

While few and far between, there are some third party games that utilize VR on Switch. Spice and Wolf VR is a recent example. Would you like a solution to enjoy VR on Switch without having to go with the Nintendo Labo cardboard option? It seems Nintendo is considering something to take care of that.

While not confirmed for release, Nintendo has indeed filed a patent for a VR headset for Switch. This looks like it'll do exactly the same things as the Nintendo Labo VR headset, but this one is made out of plastic instead of cardboard. It'll certainly be a bit more sturdy, and might make for a better experience overall.

Whether Nintendo actually releases this device remains to be seen. The patent itself popping up would make you think Nintendo might have some other VR ideas in the works!
