Switch is selling really well but there's a limit to that. I don't think this will blow up unless the base hardware see's some form of price drop. The price of entry for this is massive if you don't own a Switch. I question whether or not parents are willing to spend $400 to en-masse to get their kids into this. I can see it selling really well amongst Switch owners, but whether or not it helps Nintendo reach those lofty hardware targets is a tough call. Essentially, I actually don't believe it's success us as sure a thing as other people seem to.
I can see this becoming big, because this encourages kids to be creative and craft stuff. I can already see dedicated youtube channels being made and kids watching all Labo stuff.im kind of impressed... i mean, its smart and on trend with where kids toys are right now. it even has the 70's vibe everyone is into right now... its also such a Nintendo idea.
to think of how the joy cons IR works with this, it had to be in play for sometime. i can see this being big.
also google cardboard taking the L, lets also not pretend some of y'all will be preording this. dont hate.
anyway, some hands on previews are going up. guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/games/2018/jan/17/nintendo-labo-cardboard-switch-models-interactive-toys
I can't why people are so mad at this.LOL, what? You don't have to buy it, it's a game with accessories for kids. It's not something you need for the Switch.
Conan will love thisCan't wait for the next clueless gamer. Conan in the robot suit.
I thought this too the second I saw the rod.If this gets me one step closer to another Sega Bass Fishing, I'm in.
I would imagine music/rhythm games could make good use of this without having to make the expensive plastic accessories, too.
oh I really want them to do one of those with the robot kit.Can't wait for the next clueless gamer. Conan in the robot suit.
That are pretty dumb.
So... You get the cardboard in the "box", or is it something you create through the app, and then order it from Nintendo where they ship it to you?
Yep, thank you, you get it. It's a super cool idea, but $300 for the Switch, plus $70 (at least) for this, plus taxes? Too expensive.
This looks fun.
Feels like a hard sell though. I'm just curious enough, I'll probably grab at least one at some point to try out. But for kids? Pricey for cardboard sets that are just going to get broken. (Hopefully they sell just the cardboard separately, or at least printable templates to cut from). Feels like the kind of thing that could get parents to buy Switches for younger children but not so much while the Switch still runs at 300.
For the piano, it looked like the horizontal Joy-Con with the sensor was pointing towards the keys to sense which key was being pressed.
As for things like the walking creature, I'd assume it's as simple as using the HD rumble in the front or back of the Joy-Con to make it move a particular way.
This is all super creative. Gotta love Nintendo being Nintendo.
extra sheet for customization is not the same thing as replacement.
Nintendo releases some of the greatest games of all time last year and fans lose their shit when one game is announced not for them.
being plastic misses the point though, you are not paying for the cardbord. you will find online printouts for DIY kits fairly soon. you are paying for the software.Haha I mean cheap for Nintendo to produce, from a business standpoint. Really, for the price it should be plastic I suppose.
I work in education, and Nintendo just made the Switch an educational tool. They can package these kits for a classroom with 1 Switch system, 1 game cart and multiple sets of the cardboard projects and sell it for $599. Educators love this kind of stuff and the kids will eat it up.
I believe that joycon is going into the back of the Piano.
If you guys notice all the IR stuff uses these White reflectors and that's what the joycons are decting. You can see if when they take off the back of the robot suit
lol is there being a serious comparison to a 60+ hour full game to what is most likely a few minigames and cardboard?so you're okay with paying $60 for new games but when they add $10 to the price for some cardboard accessories suddenly that's a step too far?
Boardgames are mostly made out of cardboard and plastic and can be as expensice. If we would only pay for the material things cost, many many products would be much cheaper. An iPhone X only cost Apple 347$ in production cost. Fuck Apple!
It may be a year late or overpriced but I'm pretty confident it will exist. Nintendo's Store sells tons of replacement accessories, I can't see why they wouldn't sell labo replacements.Yea, because if it is one thing Nintendo has mastered it is inventory management.
Since when do games have to be 60+ hours to be $60? And Robot is by itself, it's probably a full game.lol is there being a serious comparison to a 60+ hour full game to what is most likely a few minigames and cardboard?
Hopefully replacement cardbox will be cheap and not Nintendo premium priced.
No kid is playing with this shit when they have a thousand other far better things to play with. Second, it's fucking cardboard!!! Makes all those ebay auctions look good in comparison and won't it all just break under the weight and pressure? Third, why would ANYONE want to put their $300 handheld into cardboard? Unless of course, you're just waiting for an excuse to buy another Switch cause chances are that's what's going to happen.
And someone beat me to it...it took 35 years but ROB has finally been surpassed!!! LMFAO!!!
From the look of it it seems like a bunch of small games. Unless these games together lasts like a 60$ game the price is unreasonable, and from the look of it it seems like a bit bigger than what you got with 1-2 switch.
It's posts like these that make long for an upvote button. Cheers manLove this, can't wait for it!
Steel Battalion Remaster incoming!
