Do people not understand that the whole point of these being made of cardboard is so that you can make them from home by downloading blueprints online?
it's like a more accessible form of 3d printing that requires no special hardware. anyone can print out peripherals at home on the cheap.
it's brilliant. fuck you guys.
Xavier Bennett
its just the perfect trolling fodder
i know its brilliant but people need their cheap laughs
Jace Sullivan
Can you tell me how soy milk taste like?
Ian Jenkins
like soy milk
Cameron Rivera
cum
Brody Cox
It requires a 300 dollar switch and 70 dollar software to function you utter fucking dunce
Evan Wood
do i need to buy a switch again?
Dylan Cruz
Who is forcing you to buy this??
Evan Gomez
3d printing is fucking trash why would anyone want to replicate it? especially with shitty cardboard shoeboxes. its like all you fags have discovered making things for the first time.
Lincoln Kelly
You still need to buy the games you fucking retard.
Cooper Collins
no shit sherlock
Christian Kelly
Can your printer print cardboard? Because mine sure as shit can't.
Eli Stewart
there is no point in making a papercraft piano from nintendo's blueprints when i can make one right fucking now and it would look sweet.
Asher Brooks
Topre?

>Nintendo releases essentially a toy for young children. > Sup Forums feels the need to argue why you should or should not get it.
Let me say why that's bullshit and why Labo isn't worth disussing on threads.
It's a TOY. A toy for young children. Its basically a Lego set, but requires more intricate thought to assemble. Not a videogame. And before you say that its overpriced, Lego sells its shit at even higher prices.
Of course I wouldn't buy it, but it'd be cute if I had a kid. This is basically cardboard bionicles with a small game wrapped up inside it.
Don't treat this as a fuckin' videogame you dipshits.
Kayden Brown
ffs when will the lego meme die. I handed my lego down to my kids after owning it for 20+ years. wtf am i going to do with this cardboard after hours? Kids and cardboard do not go well, this shit wknt last 30 minutes in the hands of a child. ITS FUCKING CARDBOARD. A material specifically designed to rot away rapidly.
Nolan Anderson
>its for kids! I know that, but that wont stop 30yo manchildren to play it and discuss it here
Blake Howard
Nintendo logic
>It's amazing >It's innovative! >Who cares if it's 80 bucks?
It's CARDBOARD you fucking mongs
Connor Young
I guess I can say that Knack is a masterpiece and no one will be able to prove me wrong since >DUDE ITS A CHILDREN GAME LMAO
Christian Thomas
OP, I assure you it’s far more likely that greed is the answer here. They’re selling a cheap-to-produce arts and crafts kit and a software card to use it with while also tapping into the controller peripheral market, and they don’t even have to do the assembly themselves because they can use it as a selling point.
It’s going to just print money, like the DS. Perhaps not as much, but I would be honestly surprised if Nintendo took a loss on this stuff.
Noah Wright
>Lego sells its shit at even higher prices. legos are made from ABS plastic that have a 200 year shelf life
Jonathan King
it tastes like milk
t. guy who actually drinks soy milk
Thomas Rodriguez
Wahooo!
Wyatt Jones
It's like people only do things because they get paid.
Aaron Morales
Someone fill me in, is the price for the software AND the cardboard?
If it is just for the cardboard alone that's pretty fucking stupid although I see multiple listings with different prices, so I assume with the highest priced one I'm paying for...extra cardboard?
Daniel Foster
lmao at nintendo for these hobo toys
cardboards like 5 cents a piece for them to mold together and they sell this shit for fucking 80 dollars. Hey stupid buy some toys and brown paper, only 100 bucks. Fuck your gaming.
Jordan Edwards
Yeah, that's the only issue I have with it. It's way too expensive.
Alexander Kelly
Nintendo does not sell things for a loss, period. The way they run business is actually very conservative -- get margins, fuck that Jeff Bezos "your margin is my opportunity" bullshit. They see value in their product, and you're going to pay the value they see if you want access to it. And really, I don't mind because Nintendo is one of few companies left that actually still produce things worth putting out the money for.
Ian Reed
How long will the battery last during cardboard time?
Angel Clark
>nintendo invented cardboard and it's brilliant Yeah, sure.
Jason Martinez
>And before you say that its overpriced, Lego sells its shit at even higher prices. Lego is expensive because plastic is expensive. Cardboard is not
Jack Murphy
Hey, I got no problem with it. I don’t have a Switch yet and I’m honestly not too interested in the Labo stuff, but I can appreciate a smart business move the big N can pull with pretty minimal effort.
If Nintendo keeps supporting this stuff and comes out with new kits every once in a while, rather than have only two or three Labo sets and saying “Okay, we’re done, how about that new Mario game”, Nintendo could make a significant profit here.
Lincoln Anderson
Custom Arcade Cabinet dock stand for the Nintendo switch.
$50 on Etsy.
I think there are more bare bones, cheaper versions elsewhere.
Joseph Morales
>because plastic is expensive lal
James Lopez
I'm really curious about how these things work. The piano seems to use the IR camera to track movement, but how the hell are they making those robots walk?
Dylan Flores
Just an example as an addendum. I don't mind paying $60 for Mario Odyssey because it's a fucking terrific game I poured almost 100 hours into, loving every moment of it. But most games, I don't bother buying until they're like $10 on a Steam sell, because either they're a novel idea that doesn't have the budget to expand into a $60 idea and major publishers won't take the risk on novel ideas worth the money, or it's got the budget but just another graphics fest with mediocre or rehashed mechanics, ie. PS4's issue with press-square-to cinema-game shit, and is boring as fuck to play.
Blake Jackson
if it rot it can be replaced with another one made by yourself trough template that are free
Christian Cox
Out of all gaming fanbase, Nintentards have gotta be the most autistically and blindly loyal, and Nintendo is more than happy to exploit them.
Name me other game companies that get away with selling and making profits of plastic toy DLCs + breakfast cereal + $60 waggle tech demo + $80 cardboard board, and a fanbase that would gladly let their object of worship to fuck them in the ass with drill repeatedly.
Andrew Diaz
Tracks the movement of the white slider portions in the backpack with the IR camera.
Chase Thomas
I think the controllers vibrate left right left right
Camden Hernandez
Kids are never going to buy this cardboard shit, they're into tablets and phones now.
Nathaniel Rogers
and this is why the Switch have so much success.
Jose Adams
this, the threads roasting it have been fucking amazing
Brayden Rivera
You aren’t the targeted demographic..
Angel Cox
The only thing this is good for is toy review channels on youtube making it look more fun than it is and then raping the parents' wallets for something kids will abandon after 10 mins.
Cooper Foster
>have more cardboard >download template >remake toy >teaches kids to take care of their shit so they don't have to rebuild it
Nathan Watson
...
Aiden Carter
Was he right?
Evan Thompson
Wait a minute, nintendo is now charging premium money for cardbox gimmics? HAHAHAHAHA, fucking nintentards will eat anything up.
Andrew Young
at least, they have something to eat.
Liam Flores
yes, it's a brilliant scam with a 99% margin of profit, and I'm sure (unironically) that Sony, Microsoft and EA are livid for not thinking this beforehead
I would like also to point out that assembling cardboard and making those things in the trailer will resort in terrible failures. Cardboard is not lego
