Nintendo may be considering an entry into the VR market if a recent report from Ars Technica is any indication. According to the outlet, hackers have managed to dig up a
"VR Mode" hidden within the Switch's software.
Interestingly, this mode is nothing new - it's been tucked away for well over a year. Whether this is because Nintendo has actively been developing the feature in that time frame, or because the company has decided to abandon it is not known at this time.
Based on what hackers have found so far, VR Mode would have split the Switch's screen in two, not unlike what you'd see from phone-based VR experiences. The Switch would likely then be slotted into a dedicated, Nintendo-branded headset to let users take full advantage of it.
