Embrace The Festive Season With These Nintendo Labo Christmas Creations

Wish I was talented enough to even attempt those

LOL 😁
Great idea. 😀
But, my Toy Cons 01 are still plain Vanilla. 😏

Oh look, more ways to play with cardboard since very few actually want the thing!

Labo sure seems to have come and gone. It's too bad, because while I may have no interest in it, I do think it was a neat idea.

The almost zero interest I had when Labo was new remains. This is just way too far out of my interest zone.

I do applaud Nintendo for attempting to innovate, but I still don't really see this taking off.

Yeah. Still not impressed with cardboard peripherals.

Imagination on display!

@Anti-Matter Mine have been improved with a lot of dust.
I loved the concept, and I still do, but once I played with each for 10-15min, I was satisfied and haven't touch them since.

Lovely and Festive.

It's so ingenious and I loved making the sets, but if the barrier of entry wasn't so high I'm sure the target audience would be much more inclined to go out and buy it.

I appreciate how seriously Nintendo took the marketing and the introduction but naturally you're not going to entice many with a minimum price of 350 dollars.

Brilliant stuff.

I really hope the people who buy Switch to play Let's Go! with their kids will consider LABO as well.
It's a lot of fun to build, and the novelty of the interface keeps the games themselves going for longer than I personally expected.

@Baart
The minimum entry-price of ANY game on Switch, for someone who does not yet own a Switch, is $350.

LABO is not just cardboard. As with any other game, it comes with a cartridge, that contains software, and it all requires the Switch system to make any sense.

@Pod Why are you telling me.

@Baart
Because the "LABO costs $350" argument has become so widespread that I'm thinking it's the result of people not understanding that it's a regular video game.

It costs the same as other video games. If you can conceive of getting Pokémon Let's Go for your children, you can conceive of getting LABO. The price of the system isn't really relevant. Could be that you have one already, or that you borrow one. Either way, it is not a detriment to a game that the system it runs on has a price.

You might say the minimum price to play Monument Valley at the height of its popularity was $610, because you needed a smartphone to play an otherwise inexpensive game. But that doesn't make much sense.

The issue for LABO wasn't as such the cost of the game, but that not very many Switch units were in the hands of the target audience yet. Regardless of which game you buy your Switch for, afterwards, LABO is considerably less than $350.

@Pod I disagree. The Labo attraction comes from the toy and craft world, more than it speaks to the gaming world. I think selling it is more difficult than selling someone a game machine because of game(s).

The argument for selling a game console to people who are more interested in crafting than videogames is weaker here because if you're in it for the building (the target audience) then the Switch is not much more than a 300 dollar instruction manual.

@SethNintendo that's true. I'd love for Labo to be the big hit it deserves to be. It's so clever and fun.

@Baart
Obviously the intended market is the overlapping segment of people who own or have access to a Switch anyway.

Which, after this Christmas, will be quite a lot of families.

Man it's really going everywhere and anything. Eventually Nintendo should build a Class Labo everything packaging.

Pretty cool stuff.

@OctoVeemo20 How about you stop being rude and attacking others for liking something you don't like?
