Topic: Nintendo Labo

Watch out, the Joycon also has a sarcasm detector.

alright, im sold on the bike game. if it lets you make your own tracks.
that alone makes Variety kit seems way more interesting than the Robot Kit. imo

@Winklebottom Ya know, I wasn't completely sold on labo before. Now I am.

Sorry, I know the image is terrible quality but it's the best there is at the moment. It's from the next issue of Famitsu and it looks like there's a tractor Labo coming at some point.

The 3DS had an IR Camera too y'know

It's more of a sensor than a full blown camera. As far as I know.

Like on the game boy color and the later Pokemon games on the DS.

Wii remotes have a IR camera too, but the Switch version is clearly much higher definition.

some new trailers for labo.

The North American Nintendo Labo website is now open.

https://labo.nintendo.com/

There's some English videos, I'll post them, they're not as high quality as the Japanese videos but I'm sure there'll be higher quality trailers soon. Nintendo of Europe might release some later today at some stage when they're open for business.

Nintendo Labo - English introduction trailer

Nintendo Labo - English Variety Kit trailer

Nintendo Labo - English Robot Kit trailer

They both look pretty good. Better than what I was expecting and I was already interested in the Variety kit. Good showing, Nintendo.

With that two-player mode they are pushing their goals:

We don't just want every family to own a toy-con robot, we want every single person to own a toy-con robot!

@chardir They want Labo robots to take over the world. Skynet is here.

That's pretty cool and you know people are going to use that for all kinds of weirdness.

I was mildly excited for Labo, but with these new trailers, my excitement has tripled.

The overview trailers confirm that each Labo kit has its own unique software included rather than 1 cart for everything (i.e. the software included with the Variety Kit isn't the same as the software included with the Robot Kit).

Really starting to want that cardboard piano. Hrrng.

Just sold two more coworkers on the switch after they saw labo. I'm so excited!!!! Going to go fishing on my lunch breaks.

Still not interested, but the features seem really cool. Kudos

Don't know if it's 'new' or not, but Episode 2 of the different ways to play with Toy Con garage series was in my news feed tonight. Yet more possibilities on show. Great stuff.

I've really been enjoying the Labo videos Nintendo has been making recently. Has anyone else thought of their garage creations in advance? I've been toying with all kinds of ideas.

The latest one I had was Twister on Switch. Basically you just need to light up a spot on the touch screen and use something like rumble to indicate whose turn it is. Then that player places their finger on the spot and another spot lights up. Add a time limit for each move, another losing condition for moving your finger while it's still supposed to be touching a spot, couple of sound effects and voilà! You've got a fully functional game.

EDIT: Or alternatively do it like Wii Party U where you have multiple controllers on a table and the screen shows the current player and button to press.
