A special, non-electronic set of virtual reality lens made with plastic or cardboard are required to enjoy the gameplay properly in Portable mode (the app cannot be played on a TV/monitor when docked), as they bring a more accurate experience from the real hardware. These lens can only be purchased through My Nintendo Store first-hand, which means this Nintendo Classics app is not distributed in regions where the Store is unavailable, such as Mexico, Brazil or South Africa (the app still does have regional localizations for the former two, which means that possibility of sales in those regions are not 100% discarded). The cardboard lens set from ''Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit'' can also be used, but it is incompatible with the Nintendo Switch 2 due to its size. None of the three special virtual reality sets are compatible with the Nintendo Switch Lite, but the system can still run the app, which means that unofficial kits should be used and may cause arm fatigue during gameplay due to the Joy-Con controllers being permanently connected. | A special, non-electronic set of virtual reality lens made with plastic or cardboard are required to enjoy the gameplay properly in Portable mode (the app cannot be played on a TV/monitor when docked), as they bring a more accurate experience from the real hardware.
