As expected last night Nintendo unveiled its new
interactive toy designed to be used in conjunction with their Nintendo Switch
games console. Nintendo Labo consists of a range of cardboard toys that can be
easily constructed and modified to create a wide variety of different objects
such as a fishing rod, piano, motorbike, house and even a remote control car
all of which are combined with the controllers from the Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo Labo will be launching on 20th April 2018
and two kits will be made available on April 27th, 2018 in the form of the Labo
Variety Kit and the Labo Robot Kit. When it launches in the US, the Variety Kit
will retail for US$ 69.99, and the Robot Kit for US$ 79.99. Unfortunately, at the
current time no worldwide pricing has been announced, but as more details come
to light closer to the official launch we will keep you up to speed as always.
Nintendo explained during their presentation last
night that the new Nintendo Labo cardboard toys have been designed to provide
“build-and-play experiences designed to inspire creative minds and playful
hearts alike”. For more information on the full range of Nintendo Labo
cardboard toys jump over to the official Nintendo Labo website.
