Nintendo Labo has barely been out for more than a week and it's already got its first third-party - and completely unofficial - Toy-Con kit making a splash in the market. Currently only available in Japan via ndshop.jp, the Switch Guitar comes with all the flatpack cardboard needed to build a body and fretboard, along with the rubber bands required to make the strings.
You would need to use the Toy-Con Garage to build the virtual instrument, but it's a cool little way to add more options to your Toy-Con selection. It's also unlikely to be the last such third-party kit we'll be seeing for Labo, especially considering how well it's selling in Japan.
What do you think about third-party Labo kits? Is it an attractive alternative to the ones included with the Variety Kit/Robot Kit or the ones you might make yourself? Share your thoughts below...

@AlexOlney
"Maek, Paly, Dsicovre."
@AlexOlney In your professional opinion, how long until Nintendo patches the switch to brick up due to 3rd party cardboard accessories? The people must know!
@cfgk24 Careful now.
Thats fast.
How much is this. I’m sure we all want to paly wiht thsi
Btw...
Make, Play, Discover....
How am i suppose to discover if the Cardboard Guitar comes WITHOUT LABO software ?
I discover a hollow, Nothingness...
I like this accessory the best, seems the most useful.

@Anti-Matter if you read the article.
If you have either labo software already. You can use the toycon garage software
Enjoy
@Razzy lol. Your too much
Best 3rd party LABO house:
Looking at that kit, there doesn't appear to be a lot of "make" in there.
@magnumc500 lol, it might happen. That was such a cheap move by them.
Cardboard hero, play song like Through card and board, Master of cardboard, Cardboard Suey.
@Nincompoop does that come with the hobo, or just the housing? And if it comes with the hobo, are all organs and limbs included?
I honestly doubt that third parties will do anything really innovative with Labo. The guitar was a video put out by Nintendo and the third party just picked the low hanging fruit. I’d love to be proven wrong. I’m still waiting for something in the Labo community to really grab me before I spend money on that tho.
Better only play the more relaxed songs on that guitar, and no rock or metal songs. Perish the thought of someone really trying to shred it on that contraption...
@JJ286 I started a thread about it because it's beyond a low blow and too much indicates this a purpose move to sell more individual peripherals.
It's SWITCH GUITAR guys! Not Nintendo Labo.
@Yosheel
Eh ?!
Oh, yeah. I forgot !
It was not LABO.
@Nincompoop i see this too comes with limited storage!
I hope these third party Labo sets don't brick my Switch...
I actualy really like this idea. It gives a base that people can use to make their own things, without having to actualy cobble together the materials needed from their own house.
That was quick.
