Remember the free 'Alien Bopping' game added to the Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit at the end of April? Well, Nintendo has now released another mini-game. This time it's about smashing up a city as a gigantic green Godzilla-like creature. The only difference is this monster shoots red balls (imagine them as lasers) from its mouth to destroy the buildings.
Before you download this VR minigame, you'll need to have first unlocked the Toy-Con garage VR programming tool. You can gain access to this mode by completing the activities in the Discover menu and from there, you load up the garage and save this new mini-game data by selecting "Name and Save" within the Toy-Con VR programming tool.
You can initiate this download by visiting the Switch news channel on the system's HOME Menu and clicking on the Labo VR Channel. Once you've done this, view the 'VR Minigame' post and click the button at the bottom of the page to start up the software and receive the game.
Have you downloaded this or the Alien Bopping game yet? How are you finding Labo VR so far? Tell us below.

labo vr is fantastic already done about 10 hours in it. loving kablasta with the kids. would love future support on new games. plus nice Nintendo keep releasing these free mini games.
Tip for those that tinker; if you place with the “Launch Object” node, you can make the ‘fireballs’ bigger/smaller. Or do what I’ve done and make the object a cylinder that’s thin and has a higher speed, while attaching a laser sound effect! Pew pew!
Obviously, I enjoy the VR garage greatly.
Am I the only one having trouble with the mini games you unlock later? For instance, in “Make Your Own FPS,” you can’t move, and the jump button just makes a noise. Or “Make Your Own Action Game,” you can’t play with the joy-cons attached, but then when they are detached, you can’t play without a head-strap! I tried the DLC game, and all you can do is breathe fire on the little city, you can’t walk around. While its neat that you get to tinker, its also super complicated... I’d just rather have some real DLC or games like Doom or Mario Kart 8 update with some VR support. I’m really trying to like this after a few weeks, but I’m finding myself only wanting to go back to the actual alien blasting game. I’m gonna hold on to this in hopes it gets better support...
@AlohaPizzaJack You make anything awesome yet? I’m finding some of the Nintendo made ones to be a little broken.
@VR32X Typically, games that change camera via head tracking keep the viewpoint stationary, like the aliens blaster.
I noticed that the output node to allow camera viewpoint movement notes that it can’t be used in VR. I tried working around it by affixing the camera to a car, but that only tracks the swivel.
Long story short, camera control in Garage is like the Mario VR instead of BotW ☹️
Edit; I’ve made a dozen tests. Right now I’m working on a Mother’s Day thing that I can take to mom and dock on the tv. Also working on a parody of my office day
Just tried it.... it’s pretty boring. I mean it said “smash the city” so I thought you’d move the monsters hands but nope you just fire lasers
@VR32X
Look closely at the small icons for those games you are talking about, they are on a TV screen for a reason, they are basically incompatible with VR. The point of those four (and the multiplayer games before them) is to show you how the new labo garage can be used outside of VR and create games for.the big screen with it, unlike the other 50+ games included that are mostly to show you how to do VR experiences.
Tried Labo VR for an hour and now I am done. A nice wee novelty but I can't even be bothered to make the gun.
PSVR lasted me 3 hours before I got bored of it and sold it. VR still has a long way to go for me.
And no I won't try it on PC as I am not a PC gamer and never will be.
@SBandy Build that blaster! You won't regret it!
@sportvater
Eventually!
@AlohaPizzaJack Thanks, and let me know how it goes! @Yomerodes Mini games for a VR set that are MEANT to be played outside of VR? I mean, you might be right, not discrediting you... but that kinda bugs me.
@SBandy The blaster game is BY FAR the best of all of them.
@VR32X
You have not spend a lot of time in the Toy Con Garage (the sewer icon) do you?
With labo garage modes is all about versatility really, not necessarily using every single piece of cardboard all the time. Same way as the Toy Con garage is about making experiences that not necessarily need cardboard toy cons, the VR garage is all about making 3D experiences, optionally playable with the VR googles but not necessarily.
really great theyre trying to keep momentum with the game up with downloadable vr garage games. but labo could really start to gain a community if they let us post and download creations online
Not showing up for me I got the alien bopping one but this is not there ahhhh
