Nintendo today detailed Nintendo Labo, a unique, cardboard device that supports the Switch.
Ahead of the actual announcement, Nintendo’s Labo video leaked, describing it as the “new line of interactive build-and-play experiences that combine DIY creations with… the Nintendo Switch”.
Here’s a video of Labo in action:
Essentially — according to a feature from The Verge — Labo is built from three tenets: build, play and discover. Players will piece together cardboard contraptions from various building blocks, connect them to Switch and then play away.
“For the car, you place the controllers into slots on both sides of the cardboard construction. The Switch tablet becomes the controller; using the touchscreen, you’re able to make the left and right Joy-Con vibrate, effectively steering the cardboard car around,” The Verge said, detailing one such combination.
We’ll have more on Labo as it becomes available… and as we understand it. What do you make of it all?
Labo heads to stores on 20 April.
