2. Nintendo Joins The VR Race

Though Nintendo have been previously critical of the VR boom of late, it's entirely possible that they've had a change of heart and will be developing the NX with VR capabilities in mind right out of the box.

VR is obviously a big deal right now, what with Microsoft, Sony, and various PC outfits developing their own versions of the tech, so Nintendo would stick out like a sore thumb if they didn't join the party.

How Likely Is It?: Rumours have suggested for some time that the NX may be delayed in order to get VR tech up and running, and though Nintendo have a history of standing far apart from their rivals, they would probably be throwing money away by not getting in on the VR craze.

There are a few issues, namely the cost considering how Nintendo's consoles usually launch on the cheaper end, and how expensive VR is to develop. It may not be launch-ready, but it will probably happen within 12 months of the NX's core release. 6/10
