I really can't wait to see what 3rd party developers do with this. To me this is some crazy futuristic sh*t. I disagree that it is supposed to be "childish" as many commenters have stated. They are certainly "cute", and the appeal certainly extends to young people and children. But this is tapping into DIY culture and the joy of building and crafting, and creating a new hybrid of video game and physical object...The experience is so layered, just making the things could be really satisfying and non-prescribed, from working out the puzzle of it, to decorating it...or what about don't follow the directions and make your own crazy thing? Crazy robots...And uh...more robots. Nobody ever expected Skynet would be made of cardboard. But seriously, such imagination stimulation!!! I think it taps different areas of the brain than standard video games. I think it could be revolutionary, or at least the roots of something that will be. OK maybe I'm over-excited but d*mn. Also, Korg Synthesizers made a great cartridge for the NDS, I would love to see them make a Labo synth..
