​

In the latest Nintendo Labo video, Nintendo provides an in-depth look at Toy-Con Garage mode and demonstrates how players can transform their Nintendo Switch into a rubber band guitar.

Nintendo Labo is a new line of interactive make, play and discover experiences designed to inspire creative minds and playful hearts alike. Together with the Nintendo Switch console, the Nintendo Labo kits provide the tools and technology to make fun DIY creations, play games with your creations, and discover how Nintendo Switch technology shapes ideas into reality.

Nintendo Labo launches in Europe on 27th April with two kits: the Variety Kit and the Robot Kit. Both kits include everything you need to bring your Toy-Con to life, including the building materials and relevant Nintendo Switch software.

Ask EA, they got the license for games.

FF to 3:16 for the epicness.

 

[SoslanVanWieren]

I wonder what crazy things people will make with it.

 

[TheRealNGB]

i would play a REAL guitar if i ever desired to play a guitar.

and what if you didn't have a real guitar available, it might come in handy if your on a midnight train going anywhere

While I think the whole Labo thing is overpriced, there are some cool concepts, I just think the software would better suited as some $1 downloads per project, with bundles of the cardboard sold VERY cheap, than maybe some deluxe version with everything for the price of a retail game, but not one project for $30+

For example this guitar app is already freely available on my phone, you can't even argue that it has joycons because you could pair a Bluetooth motion/navigation controller to your phone and have the same exact thing.

Its like real life redstone idk if you would be able to build a computer in it though.

if you wish to become an musician buying a real guitar shall be considered an investment, what you see here has nothing compared to the real one, because it's just a toy. and it a funny joke if you even try to learn how to play a real guitar through this toy.

i can image how people will threat this thing: paying 70bucks just to taste 15min of fresh idea and give a shii, then back to play mario kart/octopus spray wars 2.

Can't wait to get rickrolled by the labo

Coming from someone who has been playing guitar self taught for over 20 years, I really don't need to be told there is a difference, it is not even a fresh idea, my phone can do the same thing for free, and yeah I only used it for a few minutes, played a couple of tunes, and didn't really think about it again.

I wouldn't ever suggest trying to learn how to play guitar on something like this, just like I wouldn't give someone guitar hero as a learning tool, it is just supposed to be fun, and gateway someones interest in to doing the real thing, and visa versa.

Meanwhile, at Harmonix headquarters....

 

[Deleted User]

Ah yes, the new Guitar Hero controller. Interesting.

 

[lordpsycho]

Is it just me or the "Man" sound was made by Peter Griffin?

~*Imagination*~

This is fun. This is great fun. I hope it sells gangbusters.

 

[SkylarTheNerd]

So this is going to be in the Variety Kit? Aren't there only two kits; the Variety Kit and the Robot Kit?

EDIT: 100th post (Shout out to Logan)

 

[weatMod]

this look to be the most confusing and complicated one yet
doesn't look like fun at all
especially having to use the joycon at the neck
looks awful

 

[The Real Jdbye]

To be fair, most of them are ports. The Switch doesn't have many exclusives and when it does have exclusives, it's cheap gimmicky shit like this.

Probably needs another year before the real exclusive games roll in much like the 3DS.

But it has Mario, Zelda and Splatoon, that's not bad for the first year. And soon it'll have Pokemon and Smash as well.

This doesn't come with the kit. It's an example of what's possible to do just with creativity and messing around with the inputs

Just seems like since it's cardboard, the more you mess with it, the flimsier it will get. Wouldn't you be reusing parts a lot/have to get new parts?
