The key advantage Nintendo would have with VR/AR over everyone else is their IP. The tech is pretty much there, it's the software that isn't. There are no killer apps that have hooked mainstream audiences. What VR needs to succeed are games like Mario Kart, Zelda, Pokémon, etc. People would kill for the chance to live out those games.
That being said, I don't think Nintendo is interested in developing a secondary platform just for VR/AR, and I don't think they would be interested in developing a wide array of games that require an expensive add-on. I think it would be a smart move to develop VR and AR games for existing devices like Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro, similar to what they do with mobile games. I actually think a "Pokémon GO 2" for Apple Vision Pro would be a great way for Nintendo/TPC to kickstart their venture into this arena, followed by Mario Kart VR for Quest and similar devices, a Zelda game of some kind, etc.
Or even just have compatibility with them, so you could stream wirelessly the way you do with a PC. The docked Switch 2 would still render the games - it might be difficult for it to pull off, though.
