For the Nintendo Switch gamers out there, Nintendo will be releasing a rather peculiar yet interesting initiative which involves using cardboard to transform the Switch’s Joy Con controllers into a variety of useful accessories. Nintendo Labo, as it has been called, will be available this April. Check out the trailer below which provides a first look at this new kit…
With each Nintendo Labo kit players will receive a Nintendo Switch cartridge and a set of cardboard sheets. The cartridge will provide a series of on screen instructions that will show each step of building the different kits known as Toy-Cons which will contain the controller. With these kits players can build a 13-key piano to hold a recital, make a fishing rod, a house and even motorcycle handlebars and take part in a race.
Obviously there’s a huge educational aspect to Nintendo Labo that will really appeal to children but it’s something that will be enjoyed on a social level. Friends and family will be able to use the creations and join in on games.
