Are you still a VR skeptic? So is Nintendo.

Everywhere you look at E3 -- the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo gaming conference -- there seems to be something pitching virtual reality. At the Nintendo booth, there's only calm, traditional video game playing. In fact, there is only Zelda, and it is totally wrapped in fantasy. I asked Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America, why Nintendo isn't pursuing the big trend of the moment. He said Nintendo still isn't convinced of the full mainstream potential of virtual reality. The company has experimented with the technology before -- namely in the form of the much-maligned and yet still well-remembered Virtual Boy.
