LABO IS GOING TO EXPLODE IN JAPAN - A QUICK ANALYSIS

so I've been doing some research on this and apparently cardboard stuff is extremely popular in Japan. That might sound weird, but check out this website for example: damborghini.com/en

that guy started a company in Onagawa, the town that lost 10% of their population in the Tsunami in in 2011. This whole cardboard thing isn't just a silly idea, it's become a representation of the Japanese spirit - how they endure hardship and rebuild despite overwhelming odds against them. This wasn't Nintendo thinking of random weird stuff they could sell, this is HIGHLY calculated. And I have no doubt it's going to explode in popularity in Japan and the ripple effects will hit the West in due time.

Oh.. right.. Origami.

Labo Studio begins same switch 1&2 and miimoto

So, what does this pack come with exactly? A supply of cardboard, some fasteners, and a book of ideas on what to do with them?

i am mentally a child
i like cardboard

can i just make the cardboard toys myself?

>Cardboard is a representative of Japanese spirit
>Cardboard is cheap, can't stand water and is used to hide things inside
Hey it stands out

lol

>Papercraft Nintendo products will be popular in the land of origami and Kiri gami

Whodathunk?

Yeah sure

Yeah yeah yeah I saw AbroadinJapan's video too, don't fucking freak out

it's the idea of taking something insignificant and making it significant. That cardboard car became an attraction/symbol of the town, kinda kickstarted the rebuilding process. Even the Emperor of Japan visited.

And you know, the software to use it all. The cardboard is basically free, you can get more from Nintendo for free and they're releasing the blueprints online for free.

Everyone forgets that the main part is the software so that you can actually do something with the cardboard.

>Tsunami in in 2011. This whole cardboard thing isn't just a silly idea, it's become a representation of the Japanese spirit
You mean how easily its destroyed by some water?

Alright, going to be completely honest here: this actually looks kind of cool.
7/10 would buy with spare cash

wait.. software?
is this like some lego+raspberry bs that i've seen tried to make kids get into programing?

lol if its anything like that its gonna fucking fail
or even if its a mario maker approach to it and try and make it actually fun, is not gonna give you much creative freedom, and at that point you might as well have use actual software to make shit instead of a toy

>there's a market
>someone sells in market
>someone makes money

What the fuck did you think was gonna happen?

You build the cardboard and use it for some little games Nintendo made for it, and you can do programming for some things. It'll probably be pretty successful just like everything else with the switch has been so far.

things do tend to explode when they crash and burn

>What? Facts?
>What do you mean "why didn't you watch a video that's been out over a week before shitposting about it?" Where do you think we are.jpg

>Proof that most of the shitposters didn't even bother watching the 3 min video before they started shitposting

so what can you exactly do with it? also i dont know what the programming part of it is
neither do i know why it needs to be cardboard

>wait.. software?
This post is 99.9% of the people questioning Labo. They think Nintendo is selling cardboard and an instruction book.

>neither do i know why it needs to be cardboard
More expensive to box up and sell plastic and metal's not safe for kids.

Just like Pogs, huh?

yeah ok, i saw the video just now and it reminds me of those plastic cases you could put a wiimote into, altough i thought the appeal of the wiimote was that you used your imagination to fill in the blanks
but i guess they want to do that but cheaper ??

i still dont know what the software part of it, exactly is tho

watch the video. the cardboard interacts with the joy con's sensor and movement.

they love making models and shit so this is right up their alley the fucking retards

Ok now say that again in English.

theres a japanese guy on twitter who often made cardboard things with his son and played switch

nintendo is trying to bank on an idea one guy was doing
