Nintendo Labo Robot Kit - Nintendo Switch

I was a little weary of a cardboard project, but this is well designed. Took me and my 8 year old grandson about 6-8 hours over a couple days to build it. He was able to do all the work. Great, easy to follow and fun instructions are on the Switch itself. We still have to assemble the “tools” that allow you to modify the experience on the TV. He really had a lot of fun.

When. My son first wanted this I was pretty much at a "I'm not paying that much for cardboard" well he saved his money and purchased it. From the build to the play it's been an absolute hoot. If you want your kid off the couch and he wants to play video games this is an excellent item. It is built well and sturdy, it exceeded my expectations on every level. In a few years if he grows tired of it and it ends up in the garbage it's nice to know it's completely biodegradable.

This game is very fun,addictive and will be super collective in the future!

We purchased this for my 9 year old son for his birthday. He loves robots and science/technology, so it seemed like a great fit. He loved putting the contraption together and spent a whole day constructing the suit. It takes a lot of time, but for kids who love involved processes, it is really great. The experience afterwards dropped off a bit though. He played almost all of the available mini games in the time it took him to construct the set in the first place. The garage software is more of a sandbox, so without the guide to lead him, he was less interested in that. The straps on the robot backpack also tend to come loose from the box. Still recommended, just know that the primary value here is in the set construction.

I pre-order this package because of many things: 1. As a VR AR developer, I am frustrated with the poor controller design by HTC, Oculus, Daydream, and Gear VR. LABO is a breakthrough and an inspiration for specialty controllers. 2. Grow up with Anime and Japanese toys. Cardboard is a very important component in this experience. From the monthly children learning magazine's folding cardboard toys to the famous anime characters and robots made of cardboard, LABO is the next big thing to extend this cultural significance. However, I don't think Americans would appreciate cardboard as much as Japanese do other than packing materials. 3. Putting this together by yourself is long and painful. It is like experiencing one of those love of first sight romance with a quick burn out. The robot box is so many works. We only played for about 30 mins, I had not touched it for the past 3 weeks. I recommend starting with the other box set first.

I got this for my 4 y/o daughter, it was an awesome project fir the both of us and the games fun as well. It’s time consuming so know that going in but I feel the experience and excitement she got out of it was well worth it.

Great experience putting this together with the kids from start to finish. It is a lengthy process but the final product is worth it. Kids are having a blast!

It was fun building it - even though it took around 4 hours to craft. The instructions with the visuals were clear and concise - sometimes even providing creative and entertaining commentary on certain steps. The pistons are an interesting and well-thought idea for the game's way of sensing your movement. However when putting it on and playing the game, the scary thought of breaking it crosses one's mind. Not only that, but the things to do with the robot after a while seemed lackluster. However, overall, it was fun to build and a unique way to play video games.
