Random: Nintendo's Made Another ASMR Video, This Time Building Labo

Headphones on!

by Ryan Craddock Thu 19th Dec 2019

In what appears to be part of a continued effort to attract the popping, scratching, and whispering-loving corner of YouTube's audience, Nintendo has shared a brand new ASMR video, this time using the sumptuous sounds only cardboard can provide.

From opening the box and popping out all the pieces to folding everything down for a snug fit, there are all manner of Nintendo Labo-based sounds to indulge in here. Nintendo invites you to "soothe your holiday havoc and reel in some relaxation, with the [video's] satisfying sounds", although the scratching of the cardboard goes right through us, to be honest. Hopefully it's more your cup of tea.

If you want more, check out Nintendo's ASMR efforts for Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Maker 2. To be fair, seeing this video has made us want to break out our old Labo kits - perhaps Nintendo's onto something?

Like it? Can't stand it? Sound off in the comments below.

When I first heard of ASMR, I thought it had something to do with AM2R, the Metroid II fan remake that came before Nintendo's official one. The acronym could have stood for Another Super Metroid Remake, after all. Instead, I came to find it's a series of miscellaneous noises that just make me...uncomfortably aroused. Let's just say it's not my cup of tea.

Full disclosure: People are entitled to like what they like, but for me personally, ASMR is one of the most awkward experiences I've ever had. It's a hard pass for me.

I understand the intention of this video but these sounds aren't exactly relaxing...

Eeeaurgh it’s a creepy experience. It makes me shiver and there’s an uncomfortable feeling in the base of my spine. I do not like ASMR and don’t understand how people can get aroused off it.
