You're paying $80 for some tech demos that were made for the Wii U. Nintendo has had them lying around, not knowing what to do with them, until they came up with this cardboard box gimmick. Now the gimmick lets them sell a bunch of non-games for more than full price because cardboard boxes are enough to entice Nintentards to buy a product.

Cardboard Robo can't be controlled using a Wii U gamepad. You need to use the strings to control its arms and feet. You see any other video games on Wii U or otherwise with animatronic controls? Obviously this game was made for a new console with a portable screen that doubles as a VR visor.

It was made for the Wii U. It has been adapted to work with the Switch. Journalists were shown it running on the WiiU in 2014.

...are you talking about Project Giant Robot?

The game will still cost $70.

Why exactly are they taking 2 steps back from the wii when it had plastic utensils like these to now cardboard?

Nintendo is really testing how loyal "and stupid" their fan base is. They are literally selling you cardboard for $70 and a shitty $5 tech demo.

that shit is not fucking custom robo

Nah the visor is just to hold the joy con so you can move your head for the camera. The tablet sits in the dock. The visor is just a hole to see through

While it is clearly derived from Project Giant Robot if you actually managed to watch the fucking footage you were talking about you'd know that it evolved far past its original concept of hard to control giant robot and destructible environments. While destructible environments are a highlight the gameplay is entirely different.

He is and while it looks to be how it started they play nothing alike so it’s not really built for Wii U

cardboard is cheaper and better for the environment when it is recyclable, plastic isn't.

>implying they care about the environment
Largest profit margins, you'll break it and you can draw on it.

>Nintendo fags defending Nintendo releasing pizza boxes and mobile phone games together
LOL
O

>buy the LABO kit
>$80 for a mediocre game and some cardboard

>get the cardboard free by contacting Nintendo
>pay $80 for a mediocre game

>umm actually you're not paying $70/$80 for cardboard, you're paying for $70/$80 for shit that you could probably find on the google play store for $2.50

>Its been "80 dollar cardboard" all day
>When the free shit is found out immediately move goalposts to shit on the game

The cardboard is quite clearly a gimmick to try selling shit mini games they've had on the shelf for a while at a high price.

But it's true, user. Cardboard patterns will be free, but you still have to buy the overpriced software.

Because $80 mini game sounds so much better.

SHUT THE FUCK UP!
>hurr durr cardboard lmao!
IF THIS SHIT SUCCEEDS YOU KNOW WHAT WE WILL GET WE'RE GONNA GET FUCKING R.A.D 2 SO STOP FLINGING SHIT!!!!

b-but....WHIRRR.....right?!

>post yfw all the incoming reports of cats obliterating switchs in cardboard boxes

>spoiler

I sure hope so

fund it NOW

you faggots really are obsessed with Nintendo and throwing nonstop shitfits over them. You wouldn't be saying a word if Sony or Microsoft did this.

what exactly does the House one do?

There is always someone shitflinging. As long as multiple consoles exist there will be faggots defending their own and fighting about others. Console wars are cancer and any faggot involved should kill themselves.

Can't spell Sony without SOY

It's honestly fun. I love Nintendo but this shit is ripe for meme potential. I like how they treat games like toys instead of movies.

Jews

Has a button on the side. It somehow interacts with the character inside the house. Seen two different characters so far, one with what looks like a jump rope mini game, the other had some sort of faucet thing. You can probably pick up the house and shake it to bounce the character off the walls.

>Nintendo is really testing how loyal "and stupid" their fan base is. They are literally selling you cardboard for $70 and a shitty $5 tech demo.
that loyal fanbase seem to be bigger than the care for MH:W on the West, so Capcom on suicide watch

>free
The patterns are free, but really whoever is interested in this is going to buy the kits. I highly doubt the average person will spend time trying to make their own robot backpack with leftover pizza boxes and shoelaces.

The asspain and grief that a fucking minigame compilation with a cardboard arts and crafts kit is causing on Sup Forums is so good that I can't believe it's free. I never intend to buy this stupid thing but boy am I glad it exists.

>Nintendo is willing to give you said card board for free
>Nintendo plans to offer the cardboard design pattern for free for aspiring builders

Reading comprehension, user

This is aimed at kids, they literally said it in an announcement. What so hard to understand?

If I was a kid the perspective of moving a robot with body movement would seem cool as fuck. Alas, I'm an adult now and even if the "games" were cool (which they don't seem to be), I don't want a bunch of cardboard garbage lying around in my apartment.

NO I HAVE TO PUSH THE NARRATIVE

>how loyal "and stupid" their fan base is
They already did that with the WiiU though, and it turns out they're not loyal enough, apparently.
