The Nintendo Labo Vehicle Kit is due out on 14th September for the price of $69.99. Each kit will come packaged with all the necessary parts and materials along with a copy of the new software. With details about the game itself still relatively scarce, Kotaku's recent hands-on in a New York hotel meeting room has revealed some interesting new information about the title.
The scale of the game's world is comparable to the size of Wii Sports Resort, with the game filled with 10 hexagonal zones which are all themed. Some of the ones mentioned include a city, meadow and desert zone.
Each vehicle will feature supplemental abilities - with the submarine able to fire torpedoes, the plane shooting missiles and the car believed to "throw" bombs. The car's features don't end there. It can also cut down trees with a gigantic buzzsaw (as displayed in the original trailer above).
There are many objectives littered around the game world, according to Kotaku's Stephen Totilo:
The objectives I encountered were basic, involving things like sailing my submarine into an underwater flag or finding and carrying lost cows back to a holding pen. A more challenging one that I noticed while flying over the mode’s city zone seemed to involve having to fly over the top of a skyscraper, turn into the car, and parachute my vehicle onto that skyscraper’s roof.
The main character in the game is a flattened test dummy, and Nintendo estimates the steering wheel in the kit can take between one to two hours to assemble. Hopefully, more information about the kit is revealed prior to its release in September.

Yes, of course !
I will buy it on early January 2019.
I wish I’d have waited and gotten this instead of the variety kit (which I still haven’t opened). So many regrets.
@justin233
Who knows if you can mix up betwen Variety Kit with Vehicle Kit.
Maybe it will create completely new games.
I cant afford labo but I love what ninty are doing they truly are the kings of innovation
That actually looks like a lot of fun. Probably won't actually buy it but it looks neat.
Looks good but I rather buy a game with that money
I see this as almost a spiritual successor to the early Pilot Wings games and to Pilot Wings Resort. It really does look like the best Labo game.
I did enjoy Wii sports Resort. But I have no need or desire for a bunch of cardboard toys sitting around my apartment. Even folded up.
I'm excited. Last time, I recorded the building instructions, but, I'll skip that and just show the game this time. It looks like a much better game than what came with the first 2. It could be like Mario Odyssey, from the way they describe it (in terms of collecting moons).
Man, I need to make room in my house for these things...
This will probably sell better than the Robot kit
I just hope there's more 'game' in the game
Nice trailer.
@Heavyarms55 I’m in the same boat. The variety kit and vehicle kit are intriguing but I don’t want to have more clutter, which is why I switched to all digital from physical.
Probably a day one for me. I completed the variety kit with my daughters and her friends, and we had a blast. We still play it from time to time. This looks like a kit that I'll be enjoying even more. My only problem is where to put them, as this looks to take even more space.
@roboshort I'd not go that far personally. It's much easier to store game cases on a shelf than bulky, atypical cardboard things.
I'm very excited for this. I loved the variety kit, but I couldn't use the motorcycle because twisting the throttle hurt my wrist arthritis too much. But I really wanted to play with a fun toy con vehicle still. This one looks like they're all much easier to operate without so much wrist strain PLUS a more involved game makes it a no-brainer for me. Hope they add support for this car in Mario Kart too.
I'm ready for this, day one!
@justin233 You might find that you regret it less if you open it and use it!
@justin233 if it’s not open put it on eBay for full price... a hassle yes but money back hopefully. Then get kit 03.
Ominous how they are numbering these kits starting with a zero (01, 02, 03), implies a lot more kits in development. Potentially up to 99!!! I haven’t got room for all these kits!! I hope it’s just style numbering thing.
There’s a nanosecond clip of some sort of racing! It’s not F-zero but it could be fun. Could be like MK7 but with manual transformations on the fly so to speak.
Predictions :
04 = Camera, Bird
05 and beyond = Another LABO trailers
@beazlen1
If Toy Cons series until 99, I will spend MORE than IDR 170,000,000 (One hundred seventy Million Rupiah) or US$ 10,000 (Including tax) !
Gosh !!

The functionality looks a lot of fun. But what's up with how plain that game world looks, and particularly how non-descript the character looks?
flat test dummy fighter added to Smash Bro. Ultimate is gonna happen!
@Skunkfish @KingdomHeartsFan I was very excited about Labo before it came out. Now I can’t bring myself to open it. I make things by hand all day to sell online so Labo feels more like work to me than anything. I thought it was for me, but I guess not. Shipping this box would be pricey. I can’t see myself being able to make the money back so I’ll put it together eventually. I just wish I had waited for this kit as the “game” part seems far more interesting. I won’t be buying it though, haha
I believe this is the one that my family would buy if we were to finally buy a kit. The robot looked more fun to build then play and the other set looked like it would have a short life in our house.
That should be a new Diddy Kong Racing. If only...
