What would virtual reality on the Nintendo Switch look like? YouTuber Nintendrew decided to find out by attaching the device to a Durovis Dive 7 VR headset. The end result: A bulky-ass clunker on your face that looks unpleasant to use. 

Nintendrew's VR simulation is a surface-level look at VR—really more like 360-degree video—on the Switch.
