Nintendo should be worried... then again, they tried something like this already. but it never took off. virtual boy (iirc?) I was still a kid... the technology has come a long way, they should be already working on doing something in this space... again.

They did a shy little experiment with Nintendo Labo VR, it has also a little integration with Zelda Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey. I would expect Nintendo to be the last player into VR because 1) the association with Virtual Boy 2) Nintendo's long history of only jumping into a technology after it is well established.

The VirtualBoy was famously a disaster for Nintendo. They slashed its price from $180 to $100 within a year of release, and I got one brand new from Toys R' Us later in the year for $30. I actually still have it, though I no longer have the stand or the eye shield.
