Nintendo Showcasing a new way to play on Switch today.

"It's just cardboard!"

Cut up some cardboard from a random box and try to do the stuff that NIntendo is doing with Labo. I also love how people forget that there is actual software behind the cardboard too.

I don't have any particular interest in Labo myself, but I do find the whole "lol it's just cardboard"stuff to be a gross exaggeration.

As someone with a 8 year old daughter I have to say that this is a joke... Cardboard?... Do they not realise that kids will end up breaking these before they even finish building the models?

Got on my nerves reading forum posts that say practically those exact words.

I always wonder if its just trolling or not (assuming mostly ignorance and trying to be trolly) but its the Internet so you never know...

I have no interest in the product but I am curious why you care so much about what other people do with their money and what their interests are?

@soulitane: You know you're in system wars right? What a stupid question.

@DJ-Lafleur: Interesting take. So some defenders of this in this very thread were saying that Nintendo are going to be giving these patterns out freely and that when the cardboard inevitably breaks in a day or so that people will be able to remake them.

Are you saying they are talking bollocks?

That is the thing i would have loved to play with my kid when he was younger!!!

Nothing more enjoyable than parent/children activities!

We miss this kind of things today

Nope, not a dumb question. Yes system wars is all about taking an interest in what other people are buying, but I'd argue only the pathetic people on here actually care what other people do with their money, which is what your comment was showing. So I'm curious as to why anyone would actually care what other people spend their money on.

@soulitane: Why are you taking an interest in what I'm taking an interest in?

Boring conversation, want no part of it. You are on the wrong board.

Lol, I'd argue that I'm on the exact right board to ask a question like that. I'm sorry you can't understand that.

@2Chalupas: Madden and fifa are the quitessential casual games. Casual games are defined by their appeal to a large audience not the complexity of the controls or game systems.

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

£51 in the UK!!!!! For some cardboard and a cartridge!!!!

Even more of a rip-off then the spare Switch pads!!!!

Proof that Nintendo can charge what they want for shit and people will still buy it because Nintendo.

@scatteh316: It comes with the games. Now tell me how Lego charges too much for plastic.

I showed this to my daughter that has a switch and is 12. She likes it and wants to try it out. I also have a switch but will pass as I see this as another Wii Music, Kinect, PS Move, etc.This is for kids - and the adults that are still kids.

@Grey_Eyed_Elf: Okay how about not giving it to a two year old.

@aigis: Let gamers enjoy Switch to the fullest.

Stop deflecting!!!

The software shipped on that Cartridge will be no where near as expensive to develop and create as a AAA/AAAA game and yet they're charging the same price for it.

@scatteh316: Just for you I preordered Labo right now.

lol typical Cow to hide behind PC soon as Xbox or Nintendo put up some level of threat towards PlayStation, when it comes to PC gaming Scatteh has done nothing but trash talk it but now we're to believe he has a PC that can run emulated Nintendo games at 4k at 60fps and a PC capable of doing that is a gaming PC.

Please find me some quotes........ Should be easy...

I'll wait....

And you think you need a beastly PC run games built for Wii U at 4k 60fps? Trolololol.....

@scatteh316: of course, you have no actual evidence for this its just something you’ve pulled out of your anus. How do you know that the R&D for the tech behind this was anymore or any less than a AAA game.

You don’t.

It's called common sense.....

@scatteh316: Yeah because zero work and time went into this product. It should be free because you say so, lol. I love when nintendo pisses off so called gamers. That’s how I know they’re onto something.

It does. Not going to bother to link and get myself banned but saw a video of 3D World and MK8 in 4k

i7 4790k @ 4.0GHz, GTX 1070 Armor, 16GB DDR3 RAM

Potato rig confirmed.

Anyway, the list of perfect\playable games is quite small for now

And I said zero work went in to where? Exactly.... I'm sorry facts about Nintendo upset you.

Depends on the emulator and which build..... the latest builds are amazing and as BoTW is the game everyone wants to emulate it's had a lot of specific work done on the emulation side of things to make it flawless.

Heck there's some videos on YouTube of BoTW being rendered at 8k.

Sooo, more overpriced gimmicks from Nintendo... who would have thought?

Saddest thing is that people will buy into this cr4p because how innovative it is... just like the waggle motion controls... and the amiibos

yup, Nintendo is definitely the manchilds brand

Come at me sheep!

Oh boy Nintendont..... Shockingly it's yet another gimmick designed to fleece the hard earned cash from naïve parents. :P

You do realize you'll get banned because of this, right?

@scatteh316: my common sense tells me that the technology that allows you to slot a joycon into a cardboard box and turn it into a piano or an RC car or Robots probably took quite a lot of development time.

Just because it’s not a 4K AAA FPS doesn’t mean they knocked it out in an afternoon.

But I’m no expert and just guess like you are. I have no facts and neither do you.

@Vatusus: how anyone how post drivel on internet gaming forums has cheek to call other people man children is fucking beyond me.

From looking at the rules I won't as I have not:

Written how to emulate a game

Linked to ROMS

Linked to emulators

Linked to guides on how to do the above.

I can't decide whether I love or hate it. It's awesome, but it's also really stupid.

Oh so sweet... <3

I love you too

What?... I mention having a 8 year old and you say how about not giving it to a two year old?... OMG.

I guess some of you people don't have kids, this is target towards to 8-12 year old's, they are not the most nimble of engineers out there things will break.

Ahahahahahahahaha. Cardboard. Nintendo has found a way to go even more low tech and towards even younger kids. How do people fall for this crap? Next up, Nintendo Pet Rocks.

Lol at all of the salty cows and lems in here.

This is an incredibly innovative idea that is going to print money for Nintendo. It's number uno on the Amazon gaming charts already.

Let's look at the innovative stuff Sony and Microsoft has done....

Putting a light on the controller

Putting batteries into the controller

@scatteh316: facts? You work for them? How do you have access to these amazing facts?

Fixed

Not sure you understand what the word innovation means. Mr. Fixed.

The correct answer is: Sony added a second analog stick to the controller.

Where people spending their money shaping industries and trends. Why you think you having DLC day 1, locked content, pay to play on internet, lootboxes and so many more moronic things in video gaming. Yes, you guessed right. So i do care what you buying, not because i care about you or your money but i care where we are heading to, what we support, what messages big companies taking from market, the manipulations, the greed etc.

Personally ive boycotted so many things before, from games to devices to you name it. It does matter what we buying, not only video games speaking. So dont take this personally.

Man you're all over me like a rash..... It's flattering but I'm married.

I love how the cardboard complainers give themselves away, you clearly didn't watch the whole thing, and you don't understand how it all comes together to be more than cardboard shaped items. You might as well just have said: (see above)

@scatteh316: Mario made gaming mainstream already along with the gameboy.

I love how he overlooked an actual Sony innovation: second analog stick. And instead choice his idiotic blanket statement about making gaming mainstream.

Which btw seems to piss off hardcore gamers so I don't know why they're so happy about mainstream gaming.

If you buy this for kids, it won't last...

No kids toy ever lasts, and yet I don't see parents buying fewer presents at Christmas. My cousin gets her kids all these gifts and all they do is break them.

Nintendo fans are funny, many of the reaction videos to this are pretty much the same. People are rooting for Nintendo to win, even championing something like the Labo. Coolyfett can't really tell if it's for kids or not. It's only adults talking about it. Nintendo could sell a tablet & joy con only sku & bundle it with Labo. It looks like Nintendo's answer to the Vive & Rift. Also expensive toys that only do one thing. Adults want this, Nintendo adults want this, just own it & hold your head high.
