Nintendo has presented tonight a new product, Nintendo Labo, a peculiar and new line of accessories that may well pass for toys. They are built in cardboard, the player has to assemble them before being able to use them and they are accompanied by games for Switch, necessary for the constructions to come alive. It is a strange movement at first sight, even for Nintendo, but it fits with the company's past . It is no longer a question of creating new ways of playing an obsession for them: it is that Nintendo was born as a company that built toys and card games. Nintendo Labo seems to have its origin more in this than in the video games that began to develop later.
These cardboard accessories are officially called Toy-Con and will be available on April 27, 2018. The first is called a Varied Kit and includes a selection of objects to build, such as a fishing rod, a piano or a radio control car. The second, Kit Robot, includes a single construction, but it is much more complex. It is an armor in the purest style 'Gundam' that is handled with pulleys. Both, yes, they have their own cartridges for Switch, in which there are tutorials for assembly and video games themselves. Their prices are not confirmed, but each kit will cost more than 60 euros, a number that many have already qualified as high .

I think parents will like this product because it makes the kids actually do something in the physical world. Many parents feel like children lack enough practical tactile experience and it's a handicap - especially gamers. There are several new subscription services, I've noticed, of businesses who will send you a kit each month so your kid can assemble something engineering-y or science-y. Perhaps this product was designed to appeal to parents who worry their kids aren't getting enough hands-on learning.
