Yep. I think kids are gonna love it. I don't think you understand the whims of this demographic, or the kind of activities that can be engaging for young children.

Think of the trees
I'd hate to be around if they got these wet. Wet cardboard doesn't look appealing.

I'm not questioning that kids would be interested in it. I do question an $80 price tag for a $5 game and $10 worth of cardboard. There's no reason Nintendo couldn't give you instructions on how to DIY like Google did for Cardboard VR, print-out or otherwise, and the instructions will probably be up on the internet quick anyway.

But they're doing just that: http://nintendoeverything.com/ninte...l-be-offered-for-free-cartridge-still-needed/
They'll have DIY instructions up for free, but you'll still need the software.
$70-80 for that software and cardboard is pretty steep, ngl, so at least it seems you'll have the option of DIY.
I don't think Nintendo has ever met a child in-person. I don't think they would care for this at all, and with those price tags, the parents definitely won't care either.

You're a teacher and they allow you to use games at school?
I'm an early childhood educator; I teach classes ranging from Pre-K to 3rd grade. Apart from the mandated curriculum to support and enforce core developments and competencies, I typically have free reign over my tools and education plans. I don't think they'll reimburse me for this, but I'm cool with it either way. I'm doing a 2nd grade mod now, but I'm starting another Pre-K in February, so I'll pick up one of these kits when I can.
So you saying that you will be spending $300 on the switch system PLUS some more for that labo stuff and you are allowed to use it in school for educational purposes? Won't that be expensive since you are paying for it rather than being supplied it? Maybe you can convince them to start considering having it as a learning tool to circumvent that. That like buying a over priced Leap Frog product all on your own budget, or something.
This is where Nintendo shines since the Wii Nintendo understands that the common market for video games is not exclusively for gamers but needs people to fill the way to it exposing their brand to a new public will give them a step ahead of the competition that these out of the box ideas now come to fruition is just the dedication of the company to make something happen to ensure Nintendo has a future ...
This won't be the last thing we will see from Nintendo and it does not have to be successful by gaming standards just to expose new segments to Nintendo/gaming ..

No lol, I already have 2 Switches. I'll be using mine. It would be nice if I could get them to pay for a new one though!
And we do have reimbursement plans for purchases - but I don't think I could sell them on the Switch just yet. The district I work for invests in technology quite a bit - but the Switch is, first and foremost, a game system. But who knows!
Well I'm sure is just a matter of long term investment that they may need convincing of. Unless Nintendo plan to make more games and those cutouts to go with it then maybe they will think about it.

Tbh, I don't think you've met many kids either, or are grossly generalizing based on the ones you have. We have potlucks pretty often with a bunch of our neighbors and family friends. As such, I know plenty of little kiddos, and they'd LOVE something like this, and their parents would totally buy it for them. Heck, if one of them has a Switch, I might just buy it for them as a present, haha. Price tag is definitely steep for some simple games and cardboard, but it appears to be a pretty good product in the end.
Yo, it's cool as hell that you're gonna bring in your Switch for the kids to play with! Glad there's still awesome teachers like you around!

If I were younger I would think this would be the coolest thing ever. I still think it looks really cool but I'd get bored with it really quick.
