I grew up playing Nintendo (age hint). In fact, I remember one Christmas in the 1980s, I got the original console, with Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt. They came a long way in 30 years. Because now, they’re introducing Nintendo Labo.
So it’s for Nintendo Switch and uses kits. These kits include cardboard, and lots of it. According to David Young, Nintendo’s VP of Public Relations, they use cardboard because there’s it’s easy to get and easy mold and play with. You can also put the cardboard on you. For example, many use it as a backpack, and/or helmet. Furthermore, you use the cardboard to build houses, fishing rods, even robots you’ll use in the video game.
Then there are the technology aspects, like the IR motion camera. You also have Joy Con controllers. They read your movements and the cardboard’s movements. This is especially important for robot games. The Joy Con on screen camera reads your moves. You can even play piano with they Joy Con. You press the key. The switch makes the sound, thanks to Joy Con. Then there’s the Switch. I don’t know why they call it that, but it will walk you through the process.
However, what I see a lot of people complain about is the price. The Nintendo Labo costs around $70 for the regular version. The robot kit will cost around $80. They’re just introducing Nintendo Labo. It doesn’t come out to the public until April 20. So that gives you many weeks to start saving. Besides, I think these are great prices for such new and experimental items. Look, some items in computer repair and IT support cost way more, and they turn out to be goodness awful. Others say, ” Why pay that much for a bunch of cardboard?!”. Well, back in the 1980s, look at how much we paid for an original Nintendo. Looking back, it was way more than $80. Would you get Nintendo Labo?
