Virtual Boy Pro for Nintendo Switch - Announcement Trailer | IGN 2024 April Fools
Meet the newest entry to the Nintendo Switch family! The Nintendo Virtual Boy Pro accessory for Nintendo Switch takes players to a whole new dimension of fun! By using advanced augmented reality (AR) technology, Virtual Boy Pro turns the world around you into a new level from Nintendo’s most beloved video game properties. Super Mario: Home Run is an all new platforming adventure featuring everyone’s favorite plumber, but this time, he’ll be running, jumping and ground-pounding Goombas in your world. Virtual Boy Pro transforms any environment into an interactive level, allowing Mario and friends to interact seamlessly with your physical surroundings. But it’s not just Mario, Everyone is here! Become a part-time Hero of Time with Link’s Korok Catcher, featuring new challenges, puzzles and minigames featuring the beloved woodland creatures from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Looking to redecorate? Animal Crossing: Moving Day lets you customize your living space to your heart’s content without maxing out your credit card or having to move any heavy real-world furniture. Plenty of spooky fun awaits in Luigi’s Mansion 4, but you can do some chores in the process. Virtual Boy Pro transforms supported vacuum cleaner models by Dyson, Oreck, Shark or Bissell into Luigi’s Poltergust 3000, creating a seamless integration between virtual ghost hunting and real-world housekeeping. Virtual Boy Pro even lets you take the fun on the go, and Mario Kart: Open Road will transform your daily commute to work into a 200cc Grand Prix race down Rainbow Road! With Nintendo Virtual Boy Pro for Nintendo Switch, your whole world becomes a game!
Read full Virtual Boy Pro safety guidelines before playing, use at your sole risk. Nintendo is not liable for real-world injury or accidental death. FCC approval pending. Nintendo Switch console sold separately. Parody, not a real product. Rated E for Everyone.

Can't take anything seriously with today being April Fools lol - Would be hilarious if Nintendo actually did bring back the Virtual Boy tho
With all the bull$#@% I've had seen on Twitter lately, it's hard to believe anything anymore.
it says quite literally at the end "this is a joke, not a real product" lol
for real man xD
Nintendo switch should bring back the classic virtual boy games that would be so cool.
Damn........I forgot it's April 1st.........
0:49 OMG THE LUIGI DEATH STARE
He turned into Wario. 😂
Woooooooh!
It's back.
Officer: "do you have any idea how fast you were going?" Me: "I'm using tilt controls!"
“They see me rollin…….”
Open Road mario looks fun. The cops are just another obstacle to avoid
They’re the blue shell
Remind me of when people joked about Mario Kart Go aftet the succes of pokémon go
Mario Kart turns into GTA real quick
If the Switch had accurate gyroscopes this COULD actually work as a proper VR headset. Headaches and retina damage would probably still be inevitable though...
Some games already have VR...
That's the reason why they didn't include a head strap on the original virtual boy because strapping it to your head would encourage you to keep it on too long
Now that's the Virtual Boy experience.
With that screen resolution and device's weight?
@@noc44the switch is almost half the weight of a Quest 2 with joycons detached
0:27 this part goes hard
Tom Nook giving free rent is the most April Fools thing possible
Why does he sound like Reggie tho?
HE DOSEN'T NEED AUTOTUNE🔥🔥🔥
LM4 just vacuuming, they did Luigi dirty! Lol
We saw the outside perspective, inside the headset she was sucking up 1000’s of ghosts breaking new records!
That’s how you do an April fools joke
This wouldn't be a virtual boy. It would be an Augmented Reality Boy. 😅
To be fair, the actual virtual boy wasn't virtual either, it was just 3D.
Eh. Tomato tomahto.
Nice April fools joke
Thx for killing the joke
@@cristianmartinez9049?????
Had me until "free rent"
Nah it's real 😂
@@flowhannesburg1912”this is a parody, not a real product”
The Mario Home Run is actually not a bad idea
Great idea.
Out of all of them that one would sell very well!
if nintendo's next console has ar stuff then this would be really cool
Genuinely could be a hint...
For a week it’d be popular.
The real vacuum for Luigi’s mansion was too funny! 😂
😂😂😂😂
Luigi's mansion 4 is supposed to be like Luigi's mansion 1 2 and 3 not this
Can't wait to race Luigi on public roads, all those coins ill be collecting!! =P
0:58 “This is a parody, not a real product.” 😂
😂😂
In case liberals watch this 😂
@@juan2049I feel bad for you
What does that mean?. @Sonicand lay tonfan
@@juliamulyk941It’s an April Fools joke
Y'all got me for a second! lool
they did!!????
It looked so real man.
I'm so sorry for your family.
Me too!! 🫣
0:07 The Wii U home menu sound 😂
Also simple Wii too
All jokes aside this is actually a cool idea for a Nintendo product. Provided we get safe games for it
It literally IS a Nintendo product lol. It already happened.
“Super Mario Home Run” Ok thats actually super clever 😭
😂 almost forgot days date. Vid games announcements and news are going to be interesting today!
The landlord giving free rent is where it’s very obviously an April fools joke.
ok cutting to just her vacuuming was genius!
The joke would work a bit better if Labo VR (literally a cheap cardboard box) didn't already happen, haha.
Seriously, did IGN just forget that this literally happened?
There were parts at the beginning which looked genuinely interesting
The only gag missing is the the $4999 price tag.
Should have been €6940
Virtual Boy brings back beautiful memories
Nintendo filed a Lawsuit against tech network IGN for leaking the New Nintendo product.
I'm sure if a fan made this, nintendo would try to sue them out of existence.
@@_Smarf_ 🤣☠️
1st VR set with 480p 30fps res😮
It'd a joke kid
@@Thelegendhimself91did you not realize the original post was also a joke? Also, *It's
@@espurrmeowstic cool story kid
Wait this would kind of go hard though, imagine compatibility with mario kart home circuit, where you could see the whole course on the ground as you race around
Can't wait to see how Metroid Prime 4 plays out on the Virtual Boy Pro
Oh IGN you really got me with this one 😏
Love your production quality!!! Great job guys!
Would be a cool idea for the next switch to go from TV to handheld to VR
It would be a gimmick that developers wouldn't support and Nintendo would forget about, just like the IR camera on the Joy Con. Screen resolution would have to be higher than 1080p to be taken seriously, especially given the fact the cheaper Quest 3 Lite is coming soon.
0:07 wii home button pause goes hard
Can't wait to buy it! :^)
April fools
@@DarkLordSauronrocksthat’s the joke
😂😂😂😂
@@DarkLordSauronrocks 😳😳😳😳no way
Thought this was real for a sec lol
Me too
Nintendo should make a VR headset. Imagine Wii sports resort in VR
a Nintendo vr system would be a cool concept
If only nintendo did make a vr headset with they first party games I'm sure it would be very fun
CitraVr but nah Nintendo would ruin the fun with how their company is
It's insane that Animal Crossing in VR doesn't already exist.
It does just different name
@@sheLuvsManny What is it?
@@sheLuvsManny What is it called?
I'm still waiting for a decent Nintendo VR (You really catched the Nintendo's commercial essence at the beginning)
The fact that y’all acknowledged the Virtual Boy is insane
If it didn’t say at the end it was a joke, it could’ve very well been an actual product, this is Nintendo after all
Not with the Nintendo Switch though.
Truly an apple vision moment
Nintendo VisionU
Right?
What?
this would actually be a pretty sick product lol. it's what mobile VR headset should strive to be, it would make the tech a lot more mainstream
Man, Mario and Luigi's models look so weird that it makes this funnier
Nintendo straight up trolling its fanbase with a false promise that they would actually develop gaming hardware that is actually considered standard of the time and not outdated😂
They have a headstrap unlike the the original Virtual Boy
0:20 BRO WTF IS THAT MARIO SPRITE LMFAO 💀💀💀
Coming 2025: Power Glove accessory for Nintendo Switch Sports!
Coming 2026: GTA 6 on the switch Also 2026: super Mario bros 4. On the switch
He is coming
😫
He is WHAT?!?!
@@Kringlet he’s in my head now
Mr. Virtual?
The Luigi bit got me.
0:07 anyone else hear the wii home button menu opening sound? or is it just me
@:20 a new super Mario run called Super Mario Home Run @0:35 a new Luigi's mansion game @0:41 a new Mario kart game
This was extremely well done. Definitely felt like a Nintendo trailer.
You're not even trying to make it not look like a joke.
And?
Don’t think that’s the point. It’s just meant to be funny.
@@TheChurchofLoud There's nothing funny about this, its just dumb...
Use common sense… the Switch doesn’t have a camera … this isn’t possible & wasn’t meant to be taken as such.
@@FracturedDreamsit gives a chuckle at least.
Can't wait for a virtual adventure
strapping whole switch to face. this is hilarious.
Now there's gonna be an actual knockoff of this headstrap on WISH within 2 months
No need to disrespect the Virtual Boy like that, Nintendo 😢
Somewhat related, but it would be awesome if we got a new version of photo dojo that allows you to manually trim the edges of sprites, custom amounts of sprites per animation, expanded movesets and more.
Luigi death stare! 0:47
it's April 1st....
Fun fact pokemon go and yakuza 7 like a dragon (well the turn based RPG elements) started out as an april fools jokes and look what happened so any possible in the video game world
Well done Ign, well done
Wouldn't be surprised if Switch 2 had a VR/AR mode and attachment
0:27 That was crazy💀
Honestly that Mario Home Run would be incredible
You got me. But it’s probably closer to what the next switch will look like then any other speculation
Luigi was really on road rage 😂
Not impossible though. Lens + camera in an attachment. Though it would be quite heavy and taxing on the neck.
Has anyone seen her irl? 👀
She’s not even real. That’s an AI image of her
FINALLY
April fools
Cant wait for Mario Kart Open Road!
You know this possible if they make a attachment that connects where joycon gose and hard wire it through there
Got me in the first half not going to lie
The real joke is that you're getting a preview of what Nintendo has planned for the Virtual Switch Pro.
Remember that ROG Ally was also announced on April 1.
0:38 lol, it’s just vacuuming 😂
Never thought that Nintendo Would get in on April Fools' joke.
Why isn’t this a real thing
0:45 Nintendo understands the Luigi meme
0:07 THEY PUT THE HOME MENU SOUND EFFECT FROM THE WII
Honestly... This made me realize Nintendo could release a VirtualBoy collection on Switch, they already have the VR toycon
You didn't even have me in the first half on this one. Nice try though Nintendo
It's not from Nintendo... it's IGN.
@@Nekotaku_TVThanks, Captain Obvious
@@mr.incognitoyt2235 Wasn't obvious to him unless you think he was joking. But you're welcome.

会話がとび森の字幕になるやつ好き普通に欲しいw
Mario kart during real life driving was not going to workout well for traffic accidents lol
Don't worry... 1 April
Who is this comment for? 😭
Remember guys, it's April now
Luigi upgrading from Death Stare to full-on throat-cut gesture...
That last bit with Mario kart was the icing to the cake... Excellently done 😂
Happy April 1st y’all
It would probably genuinely sell better than PSVR2! 😅
This brings me back the old 2010s video
Considering they tried already with Labo VR, imagine if the switch 2 added actual VR support with an removable headset like this. Its a table and portable console already, if they added VR it would be awesome to have 3 in one.
The pimax portal is a real device that resembles this 3 in 1 idea
April 1 is the only day of the year when normal people lie and, for a change, politicians sometimes tell the truth.
is this april fools joke? you got me fooled
headset for the labo doesnt sound like a bad idea tho
This is actually a feature of the next gen console the AR and VR part
wow
Not even an ounce of believability in this when you take into account how weak Nintendo hardware is.
This is how Nintendo gets reactions without actually saying this could be their next system to phish for reactions.
Gunpei Yokoi's legacy lives on! Thank you Nintendo!
