The Starter's the best part of this virtual meal
It would be fair to say that the initial Labo kits divided Nintendo fans. The company’s cardboard caper seemed, on the one hand, to be utterly, uniquely Nintendo, but also exasperated some gamers who saw Switch as a belated return to ‘proper’ games after a decade of Wii-based whimsy. When...

News Nintendo Clarifies That Labo VR Will Not Work With Virtual Boy For Switch Online
Update: Nintendo issues a statement
Virtual Boy for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack (we'll never get over Nintendo's naming conventions at the moment) is right around the corner, launching on 17th February 2026. But if you're not keen on splashing out on the $66.99 / $99.99 replica or its cheaper cardboard equivalent, then you might be in...
Talking Point Where's Your Nintendo Labo Now?
Make, Play, & Bin?
No, we didn't find ours here, not at all... 2018 is a long time ago. It feels like it happened in another dimension, in an alternate (and much nicer) timeline, or some other Marvel universe-typed nonsense. And it's a timeline we can never get back to. It was also the year that Nintendo dropped its Labo sets, which is infinitely...
Opinion Switch's Secret Best Couch Multiplayer Game Won't Be Playable On Switch 2
Don’t let this gem disappear unloved into the long dark night
After eight years of articles and YouTube content covering the Switch, you might think there are no surprises left to uncover, but I'm here to say that the very best couch multiplayer on the system – a game by Nintendo themselves – was completely missed by seemingly everyone on the...
Random "Ultimate Console Database" Secures Ultra Rare Nintendo Labo Switch
For preservation!
Remember that super rare Nintendo Labo themed Switch, exclusive to an official Nintendo competition? Well, it seems we might actually be able to find out a little more about it after "the ultimate" online console database 'Consolevariations' was able to secure this particular unit (for an undisclosed sum) after "5 years of...
Anniversary Five Years Ago, Nintendo Unboxed Its Most Joyful, Harebrained Experiment
A Labo of Love
Five years ago today, Nintendo told the world to get creative and create pianos, fishing rods, and — eventually — a giant cardboard VR headset. That's right, Nintendo Labo is half a decade old, and as we look back, we're feeling a little bit fond. Debuting in April 2018, this quasi-toys-to-life creation may have essentially been...
Talking Point Nintendo's Quirky Creativity Hasn't Always Paid Off On Switch, But It Matters
Standing out from the crowd
Nintendo is in a particularly strong position in the games industry at present - it's a hugely popular, talked about brand, and the company is still selling tens of millions of systems each year that - by this stage - will be increasingly inexpensive to produce. When you take relatively old, readily available technology...
News Somebody Recreated DOOM Eternal In Labo Garage VR, And It's Really Something
Sights set on Game Builder Garage, too
Nintendo's upcoming DIY game maker Game Builder Garage will enable Switch owners to create their own rudimentary games using easy-to-learn node-based tools that originally debuted as part of the Nintendo Labo series. We say 'rudimentary' mainly because that's the kindest adjective to describe our own efforts...
News Nintendo Explains Why It Took Down The Labo Website
"We routinely conduct product website maintenance and reorganization"
[Update #2: 21/04/2021]: Nintendo of America has responded to reports that it has removed the Labo website, stating that the line is still available for purchase. Speaking to Games Radar, NoA said: "Nintendo Labo is available at retail locations. We routinely conduct product...
Poll Nintendo Labo VR Celebrates Its First Anniversary, Are You Still Using Your Toy-Con VR Goggles?
A headset like no other
Whether it feels like yesterday or a lifetime ago, the Nintendo Labo VR kit is now officially one year old. In this time, it has received a standalone Labo kit and Nintendo has released multiple free updates for its existing Switch game line-up that add VR support. It started out with a free update for Super Mario Odyssey...
News Neonwall Becomes The Third Third-Party Switch Game To Support Labo VR
It's dark, and we're wearing Labo VR Goggles
Update: The original headline of this article stated this was the second third-party VR title to offer Labo VR support. Thanks to our friends at Japanese Nintendo for reminding us it's actually the third such game after Rooms: The Adventure of Anne & George also patched in support. It would seem that...

Hands On Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild VR Made Us Want To Puke
A link to the barf
It always seemed too good to be true. A virtual reality update to Breath of the Wild that enables you to play the entire game with the Labo VR Goggles? Blimey Charlie! Despite all our nagging doubts, the very fact that Nintendo was putting it out meant it must pass a minimum quality threshold, no? At the very least it wouldn't...
Hands On Going Beyond The Blaster With Nintendo Labo VR On Switch
A deeper dive
If you’re a long-time reader of the site, you’ll probably know that we’ve spent a decent chunk of time talking about Labo VR already when we got a chance to have a go with it at Nintendo UK’s headquarters. But now we actually own the blooming thing and have spent more time than we’d deem healthy having a good old rummage with...
Hands On There's More To Nintendo's Labo VR Than Meets The Eye
Virtual Reality, the Nintendo way
Maintaining a healthy degree of scepticism is always a wise policy in life, especially when you're faced with a seemingly endless number of companies trying to tempt you to spend your hard-earned cash. It's a practice we regularly employ in both our personal and professional lives here at Nintendo Life, and it's...
