you can only think that if you never bothered actually informing yourself about labo and its accessibility
When Nintendo straight up says that some of them will take "several hours" to set up, then no, it's not very accessible.

This is the US - but is any Labo advertising going on in the US presently? I am under the impression that the answer is "not really", hence the trends.https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=fingerlings,labo,hatchimals,Imaginext,cozmo
The spike at the beginning was extremely good... But not as good now.
... That's the point? The building process is an important part of the appeal, and from what I've heard around the web from people who got their kids to build it is that it's not undoable, and also fun. Small sample, of course, so we'll have to wait and see.Labo is going to bomb so hard solely based on the fact that they are too complex to put together and take forever to do so.

Yup, just like all those huge lego sets that have all bombed. Or the thousands of different model kits that have all failed to find an audience. Yup!Labo is going to bomb so hard solely based on the fact that they are too complex to put together and take forever to do so.
Building is the point, that's why they didn't just give readily constructed sets. That's why they took so much care to make the instructions as comprehensive and interactive as possible. The whole appeal has gone over your head. It's ok. It's not for everyone
The building process absolutely is an important part of the proposition.
I mean my cousin and I put together a piano just fine and he's like 8.Labo is going to bomb so hard solely based on the fact that they are too complex to put together and take forever to do so.

Generally the trick to making a decision like this is that each new platform adds a fair amount of overhead to your game that's trying to ship new updates every 1-2 weeks, so you want to make sure you're going to generate a lot of new revenue from the platform you're adding before you commit to doing it.Speaking of mobile games, is it really that complicated to put out those games on the Nintendo Switch?
I'd love mobile Fortnite on it lol.
Yes, like, these are the actual lootboxes that target children. There are ones for LEGO too.The best selling toy in America right now is a doll lootbox.

I can't fucking escape these lootboxes.

I mean, there are innumerable lego sets that are supposed to be - and actually are - built in one specific way, yet those are just as much fun and also very successful, so I would contest that building one thing is not appealing.Hahaha, people always use this whenever I bring that up about Labo. It's such a dumb argument.
There is like, a GIGANTIC difference between Lego and Labo. One gives you infinitely possibilities to build stuff with. One only gives you one thing to build. Guess which one is more appealing.

Actually all the LABO kits come with something called Toy-Con Garage, which lets you create programs from scratch. We have a thread here about the youtube video seriesHahaha, people always use this whenever I bring that up about Labo. It's such a dumb argument.

Some popular mobile games are on Vita IIRC, and of course we've already got Arena of Valor on Switch.Speaking of mobile games, is it really that complicated to put out those games on the Nintendo Switch?

It isn't a poduct supposed to be front loaded tho. Almost all the touch generations games had low shipment and sales for the FW, this is supposed to be similar.My concerns with Labo are:
A): This is too complex for young children
B): This is probably too simple/unappealing for adults
C): Teens might think this is lame
And A,B,C mean that Labo is aimed at preteens only. And then we have:
D): I'm not sure parents will get that Labo's cost is about software, not the cardboard.
E): Nintendo doesn't seem to have any contacts with preteens or kids popular on YouTube and Nintendo hasn't successfully advertised to the non-gaming market in like 8 years.
F): Nintendo isn't advertising Labo much at all in America which could suggest their internal numbers aren't very good.
G): The France shipment for Labo is very low.

The average life span of a toy fad is about eight months from its launch until it's marked down, said Richard Gottlieb, an analyst and publisher of Global Toy News.
A-C are subjective speculation, and something even market analysts won't be able to pin down either. That aside, it's a product that also encourages supervision on the case of it getting hard for some people.My concerns with Labo are:

F Nintendo has been airing LABO commercials in family oriented channels like Disney, CN, and early morning segments in the west for the last week. With store displays and adverts in Japan since early April.
Labo is going to bomb so hard solely based on the fact that they are too complex to put together and take forever to do so.
What are the major online issues?They've also done zero to actually fix any of their major online issues, which is never a good look going into a sequel or expansion.
So a couple million?
Of course the internet hated the game. But that doesn't always mean muchWii music sold how much? Wikipedia tell me 2.65M but it seems a lot seeing the reception of the game

Eh, it's some cardboard and software from the 1-2-Switch team. I doubt it's even financially possible for this thing to turn into a loss.Labo is going to bomb so hard solely based on the fact that they are too complex to put together and take forever to do so.
Obviously it will sell like crack in the 90's but doesn't the Switch demographic scew older though?Geberally the trick to making a decision like this is that each new platform adds a fair amount of overhead to your game that's trying to ship new updates every 1-2 weeks, so you want to make sure you're going to generate a lot of new revenue from the platform you're adding before you commit to doing it.
Fortnite in particular will probably come over though as it's hugely popular with kids. There are Switch games with microtransactions, right?
Yes, like, these are the actual lootboxes that target children. There are ones for LEGO too.
It does, but the main reason you would expand to the Switch is the anticipated future audience you don't expect to reach elsewhere.Obviously it will sell like crack in the 90's but doesn't the Switch demographic scew older though?
Hopefully Labo will help with that :p
I mean it's just money on the table.It does, but the main reason you would expand to the Switch is the anticipated future audience you don't expect to reach elsewhere.
This is probably why they're also not in a rush.

I still want a BOTW BR Mode. Itd be unique being fanatsy based and more Physics based.I'd take a Nintendo-made BR game over Fortnite and PUBG though (and I have something like 150h in Fortnite and over 400 in PUBG).

why Iron Galaxy, in particular? not that I doubt it, Dave Lang has probably been knocking on Sweeny's door for a long-ass timeI think it's pretty obvious Iron Galaxy is porting Fortnite to Switch. And if it's not them for some reason, it'll be someone else. Last year they waited until E3 to reveal that Rocket League was coming, they'll probably do the same here.
No idea how you would estimate its success in Japan though, do free to play games show up on the eshop charts?
Just that Game Informer interview where Adam Boyes casually dropped they were working with Epic on "something Fortnite, secret stuff", and they just did Skyrim Switch. It just make sense, but obviously it's just speculationwhy Iron Galaxy, in particular? not that I doubt it, Dave Lang has probably been knocking on Sweeny's door for a long-ass time
