\"\"<\/a>Say cheese and smile!\u00a0 You\u2019re on Labo Camera!\u00a0 The next thing we\u2019ll take a look at that you can build in the Labo VR Kit is a camera.\u00a0 Use it to take pictures of fish in a virtual reality undersea environment!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s kind of interesting that they chose an old style camera with a zoom lens for you to build, as it is a bit outdated in today\u2019s cell phone camera society.\u00a0 Many players may not ever have used a camera that this is styled after.\u00a0 In fact, they even address this in the learning section of the Labo VR game.\u00a0 Anyway, here\u2019s a bigger shot of the Labo VR Camera all built.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You attach the camera to the front part of the VR Goggles and attach both JoyCons to the camera.\u00a0 One goes in the zoom lens and when you twist it, you can zoom in the games. \u00a0You even build a gear that makes clicking noises when you twist.\u00a0 \u00a0The other controller goes on the side and you can press the top trigger button to take pictures.<\/p>\n

The first game you play has you take pictures of fish underwater.\u00a0 You can turn around in 360 degrees, and look up and down to rise up and dive deeper.\u00a0 You can even go above water. \u00a0You\u2019ll have missions to take pictures of certain kinds of fish, and can take three pictures at a time, but you can always continue so that seems kind of pointless.\u00a0 To help you get better shots of fish, you can also throw bait using the L stick on one of the JoyCons.\u00a0 I wonder if this game uses the same graphics and such as the Labo Variety Kit Fishing Rod?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of games that use the same assets, the next one you can play is called House Camera.\u00a0 It uses the same room and critter from the Labo House you can build in the Variety Kit<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Here you have missions to take pictures of the furry critter in the house doing a variety of things.\u00a0 Only problem is the missions are just vague clues, and it\u2019s a bit more random as to how the critter moves.\u00a0 So it\u2019s not as much fun.\u00a0 You can point at certain objects and if you look at them long enough, you can go to different areas of the house.<\/p>\n

There is one last small accessory you can build to go along with the VR camera.\u00a0 It\u2019s a pair of snorkel glasses that a second person can wear and mess with the person using the VR camera.\u00a0 You stick reflective stickers on it so the JoyCon with the IR camera can see it.\u00a0 You can use it to make a nearby fish move along with the second person, which is a little weird because it also gives that fish cartoony eyes.\u00a0 But I guess it makes it easier to snap shots of certain fish.\u00a0 In the House game, you can make it look like something weird is looking through the window in the house!\u00a0 Here is a shot of the snorkel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure the question on everyone\u2019s minds is: Why didn\u2019t Nintendo make a Pok\u00e9mon Snap game with this?\u00a0 I mean, you even have a button for throwing bait.\u00a0 That would be so cool!\u00a0 Everyone I\u2019ve talked to wants a new Pok\u00e9mon Snap game!\u00a0 Nintendo could\u2019ve easily made one on the 3DS or Wii U, since both those even had motion controllers with a camera attached.\u00a0 I hope Nintendo makes a Snap game on the Switch!\u00a0 Anyway, next VR Kit item we\u2019ll talk about is an\u2026elephant?!?\u00a0 Stay tuned!\u00a0 –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
