Nintendo Labo announced

"$70 cardboard! Yes! This is what kids want!"

k

 

I expected utter shit, it is utter shit.

 

Classic Nintendo back with the gimmicks for 2018.

 

Overpriced but neat.

 

It's a neat idea, but time and time again I've seen products in the "make something irl to be used with a video game" category fail time and time again. Granted most of these products use games on mobile phones and were expensive. Maybe Nintendo can make it work, but I'm having my doubts, especially with the price.

 

I'm assuming some sort of Switch software is bundled in, if you're paying $70 but need the joycons for... something.

I like the idea of getting kids into engineering and constructing at a young age, but cardboard, for as cheap and flexible as it is, isn't really the most durable material, especially if you're a kid who likes to fidget.

 

I'm assuming most of the cost is in the software. I'm wondering if they won't allow for custom creations?

 

I was like... this is a fucking joke. Until I watched the video. I think this will sell. Also funny it's releasing on 4.20, because whoever came up with this was high as ffffuuuuck when they did.

 

it's JUST cardboard
DAFUK NINTENDO
i can make anything with cardboard anytime
but i can't make switch, what about make switch cheaper for me instead do cardboard shit? >: O

the verge got a shot of trying everything out....the joy cons are indeed one impress pieces of tech. but the prices? no way. i can see kids getting board with the toy-cons very quickly and even damaging the during the build phase. in either case, a parent is left with expensive over priced card board. I question the choice of build material. i am sure nintendo could of used a 3d printed carbon based material instead. making them last forever. or probably the best idea should of been to team up with lego or kenex or both of them.

 

Yay... cardboard.
really?

 

No problems within a week you can buy those cardboards at ali express for 5 $

 

I was going to type, "gaaa -snipped 5200 a- aaay"


as a joke, but now that I see many people are, ahem... "taking the piss" on this thing (Did I do the british right?) I'll say what I honestly think and feel...

I won't be getting it, but damn this is actually really cool!

 

Not gonna buy it probably. But it does look cool. (Plus I'll give nintindo a pass since they realised 2 awesome games last year.)

 

Nice idea, but overpriced

 

Unless Nintendo decides to use NFC tags to stop "cardboard piracy" or third party cardboard knock offs.

 

Who wants in on a cardboard bug thingy race?
