Random: Nintendo Labo Isn't The Only Way To Combine Cardboard With Your Switch

You sunk my battleship!

I know that joke is already at the end of the article but it was in my head looking at the pic and I needed to get it out.

Before I can partake in such a fine Labo experience I'd need to learn how to play shogi. xD

The very first day I bought my Switch (launch day) I also made a box with cardboard to cover the dock when I remove Switch from it. Cardboard can be very useful in many occasions. I usually keep my Switch inside my backpack when I'm not using it so I use that cover quite often.

Now they just need to port local multiplayer Goldeneye and were all set.

@Rika_Yoshitake But all the shogi pieces are in full view of both players the entire time, there's nothing "hidden" in your "hand" at all...

Labo is not new. Nintendo already made Labo in 1974:

Hasbro proudly presents:

Family Game Night 4; now with Labo compatibility

I remember Family Game Night 3 for the Wii had Clue, and when looking at your clues, it prompted everyone else to simply look away.

The top 2 best questions for guess who.
1) Do they have facial hair?
2) Do they exhibit any traits of a recessive gene?

@rjejr Battleship was literally the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture of this article on the front page. That, or Mastermind...

Switch Split confirmed. Looks like a regular Switch, but can be split into two down the centre of the screen into an inverted V shape to free stand.

@ThanosReXXX Mastermind would be much better than Battleship. Though rather than that big wall in the middle just a tiny hut at one end.

Great, now I'll spend the next 5 years waiting for Mastermind like I spent the last 5 years waiting for online video chat games like tic tac toe and hangman on Wii U. Why Nintendo so abruptly dropped the grandparent market on Wii U after playing it up so much on Wii I'll never know.

@rjejr Sorry to put ideas in your head. Man, I seem to be doing that more often, lately. I swear it's not intentional, though. Must be a subconscious counter measure to all those "look at this Push Square link" comments of yours...

And why Nintendo dropped it, is probably because the Wii U was supposed to be more hardcore-geared. And nothing says "this console isn't hardcore" like making it granny-friendly...

Or you can play the actual board game doing this without wasting money and batteries.

@ThanosReXXX "And nothing says "this console isn't hardcore" like making it granny-friendly..."

Yeah yeah I know, I know.

Good thing Switch has Labo for the hardcore crowd.

@rjejr No, the real hardcore crowd is still waiting for Nintendo Labia, wich will make excessive use of HD rumble and advanced motion controls.

It is rumored that the experienced bosom gropers of Senran Kagura fame are going to assist in that endeavor. It's also not going to be made from cardboard, but from a life-like silicon, similar to the material that Real Dolls are made from...

@ThanosReXXX Yup, that's why I pronounce it lay-BO, not LAB-oh, keeps my mind right.

@rjejr Although LAB-Oh sounds very Japanese/Engrish, I'd sooner think it should be pronounced as LAH-bo, which is more than different enough from Labia...

P.S.

The fact that you're not asking me what the hell a Real Doll is, is either quite telling or disturbing, but I haven't decided yet, which of the two it is...

@ThanosReXXX It's that thing I tried to build in my parents basement in the late 70's. And then again in the 80's after watching Weird Science. Doesn't matter what you call it, they're all the same.

@rjejr That's "real dolls", or for those in the know, a Kelly LeBrock lookalike. However, I'm talking about Real Dolls, capitals intended and copyrighted, and there's only one real Real Doll...

@rjejr No, wait. Scratch that: the first one you mentioned was Frankenstein's bride...

@ThanosReXXX "there's only one real Real Doll..."

If there's a real one somewhere there's a knockoff in China.

Bride of rjejr.

@rjejr Or Leal-uh Doll-uh....

@ThanosReXXX Dali Lama?

@rjejr Oh man, we're not even derailing anymore. I think we've derailed the derailed discussion...

@ThanosReXXX "I think we've derailed the derailed discussion..."

Well I can cross that off of my bucket list now.
Mission Accomplished and all that.

@rjejr You evil, evil man...

@ThanosReXXX It takes 2 to Tango. 😎

Your scary possessed Thanos avatar calling my happy singing Kermit avatar evil is hilarious though. I mean just look at them. 😆

@rjejr True, that. He did break the pig's heart, though. Kind of like the Muppet version of Thanos and Death...

@ThanosReXXX

Kermit and Piggy as Thanos and Death? That's strangely thought provoking.

@rjejr I'd figure you would think something along those lines, being an SG fan and all...
