Nintendo NX To Release Home and Hybrid Consoles + VR?
As for the rumors of Nintendo NX being a hybrid system, Value Walk shared that it could be a next-generation console that has an independent handheld system. This means that the Nintendo NX could possibly be made up of two elements where players can use it with the two and the handheld independently of the other.
The Microsoft Xbox One currently supports Oculus Rift. Sony PlayStation is planning to integrate virtual reality in their gaming systems. This could mean Nintendo has stepped up their game and already incorporated VR capabilities in the NX. However, these will remain speculation as the Japanese company has not released any official statement.
