Creative assembly toys

Yesterday, Nintendo surprised us by announcing the Nintendo Labo. A do-it-yourself set of toys designed with young audiences in mind. The kit allows players to have new experiences on Nintedo Switch by using accessories made from cardboard.

According to official information, Nintendo has only two sets of Nintendo Labo Toy-Con. These include the Robot Kit (players can create their own cardboard version of the robot) and the Variety Kit (which includes a car, piano, fishing rod, house). In the trailer for Labo, the company also hinted at more Toy-Con kits in the future.

Nintendo Labo accessories included in the trailer include: a bird, a steering wheel and pedals, a camera, a gun, a pedal for the drums, a joystick, and a few other interesting items but the purpose is still unknown. how to use. None of the above items are mentioned on the Nintendo Labo website and they are not on the Toy-Con list that can be made with Variety or Robit Kits. With that said, this is part of the Toy-Con set that will be officially announced by Nintendo.

Assuming these items are made in the future, they will have a lot of potential uses. For example, the drum kit can be used in music games (like Guitar Hero with the Nintendo Labo version), while the steering wheel can be used in Nintendo Switch racing games, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Some fans are even speculating that the camera could be used in Pokemon Snap, the Nintendo Switch version. Labo’s purpose is to let players use their own imaginations. Nintendo hopes it will inspire players to think of ways they can entertain with their accessories.

The gun is designed to be somewhat less child-friendly than other Toy-Con models, but it can be used in first-person shooters. Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is coming to Nintendo Switch soon, and being able to use the Toy-Con gun in the game will be super entertaining.

With the Nintendo Labo Toy-Con set to be released in April, other items in the trailer are likely to be released in the months that follow. This allowed Nintendo to make them available early in toy stores ahead of the holiday shopping spree. Anyone who bought a Nintendo Switch for Christmas will probably be intrigued by these Labo sets and shell out the extra cash to own them.

Nintendo Labo’s Variety Kit and Robit Kit will launch on April 20, 2018 in the US, and April 27, 2018 in Europe, and available for Switch.
