Nintendo Labo’s cardboard revolution adds a whole new dimension to the Switch console
Nintendo hope to encourage making, playing and discovering with their latest innovation.
Nintendo have always been famous for their playful games, but the announcement of Nintendo Labo has taken that one step further.
Available on the Nintendo Switch console, Nintendo Labo combines cardboard cut-outs, referred to individually as Toy-Con shapes, that offer new ways to play on the Switch that hope to encourage imagination and discovery.
Of the piano, a Nintendo statement said: “As you play, the IR Motion Camera in the Right Joy-Con detects which keys are pressed and plays each note through the console’s built-in speakers. Budding musicians can also experiment with their own musical creations.”
Meanwhile Toy Con 02: Robot Kit, offers the chance to create your very own robot.
“Nintendo Labo invites anyone with a creative mind and a playful heart to make, play and discover in new ways with Nintendo Switch. I personally hope to see many people enjoying making kits with their family members, with big smiles on their faces.”
