Reggie Says Current VR Technology Isn’t Fun

A good chunk of this year’s E3 Conference was all about ‘virtual reality’ technology, with the Oculus Rift, Morpheus and the HoloLens. It’s the next big thing. So, where is Nintendo’s answer to VR? Seems like there isn’t one. In an interview with Polygon, they asked Reggie Fils-Aime if there was a “Virtual Boy 2″ on the horizon. He said that VR isn’t fun or social enough yet, dismissing the idea of Nintendo adding their own VR technology to the mix. Do you agree with him, or should Nintendo jump on the bandwagon? Check out his full response:

We have knowledge of the technical space, and we’ve been experimenting with this for a long, long time,” Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime. “What we believe is that, in order for this technology to move forward, you need to make it fun and you need to make it social. I haven’t walked the floor, so I can’t say in terms of what’s on the floor today, but at least based on what I’ve seen to date, it’s not fun, and it’s not social. It’s just tech.
