I loved flying with A Nintendo Switch 2 Earlier this year the Xreal 1S viewing glasses connected via the battery base It’s called Xreal Neo. But that was just the prelude to another piece of technology that would never come to fruition.
Unfortunately, Xreal’s Neo Dock is no longer being released, with the company citing reliability, long battery life, and other operational concerns.
According to Xreal, anyone who pre-orders one of the $100 battery pack mini tubs will receive a refund, as well as a $30 credit to spend on other Xreal products. When I spoke with Xreal product representatives to better understand the situation, I was told that the concerns were strictly performance-related, not safety-related.
Xreal CEO, Qi Xu, He explained the situation In a Reddit post earlier today. “During the final review, we identified areas that did not meet our stringent internal criteria and standards,” Shaw wrote. “Out of an abundance of caution, we made the difficult decision not to ship the Neo, rather than release a product that did not fully meet our standards.”
When I tried the Neo, it worked reasonably well to output the Switch 2 to the Xreal glasses, however Metroid Prime 4 It had noticeable issues with frame rate performance which made it unplayable. However, I liked the small size of the device compared to larger portable Switch batteries like the Viture’s Pro Mobile Dock. It made me wish Nintendo Switches would do better with video output accessories in the first place.
What’s clear is that the Nintendo Switch is still a fork in the interesting world of viewing glasses as portable gaming or work monitors. Xreal has another high quality range of Asus gaming glasses Coming later this year, it’s designed for PCs and consoles, and Windows Laptops and Steam Decks can work with viewing glasses like those from Xreal, Viture, and TCL just fine without adapters. Phones, laptops and tablets can too.
I asked Nintendo Japan executives if proper display glass support would be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 during a launch event in New York last April, and got a clear answer: it’s not on Nintendo’s radar right now. You can always try another small docking station option that’s still on sale, but I liked the size of the Neo the most. Maybe he will appear again in the future, but now he has disappeared forever.
