Players have found yet another interesting way to play and build with Nintendo Labo, this time creating their own game of laser tag.
Miyuki and Ran, two incredibly creative Japanese players, have designed and created various props and Labo settings to create a fully-working game. The pair used Labo's Toy-Con Garage to have their Joy-Con controllers communicate with each other via their infrared sensors and emitters. Not content with that level of simplicity, though, Miyuki and Ran also crafted handmade NES Zappers and Mario hats to house the Joy-Con, and the Switch is used to record any successful hits to knock down each players' health bar.
It's nice to see Labo still being used to great effect, and it's also another reminder that Nintendo's cardboard creation is a wonderfully creative tool. We expect to see more and more projects appear that even Nintendo couldn't have ever imagined, and hopefully the 'Big N' is taking note for future Toy-Con releases.
Now then, how do we get this set up at Nintendo Life HQ?

LABO is First Step to give some new ideas for some creative peoples.
Neat.
This is awesome.
Labo is definitely not for me, but for some creative people and, more importantly, for kids, it can be used to make very cool things, like this video demonstrates... and, who knows, some of the kids playing with Labo today, might be inspired by it to become game designers/developers in the future.
Wow. It sure does look like their having a lot of fun
Crafted handmade Zappers?? Dang, I wanna play Zapper tag. If it was a simple mod, there’s a store here that has plenty of Zappers all the time. I wonder how hard it is to make work. Nice craftsmanship though.
At last something actual interesting coming from LABO
Are the sensors able to run from as far away as playing man hunting ?
Really clever
It's surprising how I'm still impressed with Joy-con tech over a year after the Switch debut. Can't wait to see what else can be done with it.
Veeeeeeeery, very cool!!! As someone else said in an old Labo post, there should be a store to download this fan-made mods/apps. Zappers were perfect!
Ofcourse they're Japanese xD
Why do they always come out with the coolest ways to use Labo
Ok. I'd be so down to buy a LABO of this.
Contender for the LABO contest?
Interesting, seems LABO isn't so useless after all.
@Bunkerneath @retro_player_22 Then you guys probably haven't seen the video from a few months ago where they used LABO kit to help people in need joy-con-driving their wheelchairs
All you need is a 3D printer, lol
