Nintendo Labo - cool cardboard designer for the Switch console

Nintendo has an unusual approach to video games. In the Wii, they offered a different view of management, Wii U was biased towards family gaming, but with Nintendo Switch, the company outperformed itself.

What was shown

Nintendo introduced a set of add-ons for the hybrid console Switch - Nintendo Labo. This is a thick cardboard designer, which was created specifically for mini-games on the Switch. From it you can create various devices that are designed to diversify the game process for children.

In each such device there is a place for Joy-Con-s, which turn pieces of cardboard into fun games. They will track the movements with a gyro and camera, so that the player can, for example, control a virtual motorcycle or catch a fish.

Question price

Sales will begin on April 20 this year, and the price of the base set will be $ 70. You can also buy various decorations in the form of stickers and ribbons for $ 10.
