Description

Make two Toy-Con RC Cars, a Fishing Rod, a Motorbike, a House, and a Piano using engineered, pre-cut cardboard sheets and fun, interactive instructions. Then, Play! Steer the RC Car, reel in fish from the ocean, drive your Motorbike, interact with a creature in the House, and play tunes on the Piano. Then, discover how it all comes to life with Nintendo Switch™ technology and, in Toy-Con Garage, invent new ways to play! Grab your own markers, stickers, and more to customize your Toy-Con creations. Steer the Toy-Con RC Car manually, have it self-drive, or challenge a friend to a match with two Toy-Con RC Cars*. Race the CPU with the Toy-Con Motorbike, collect targets on bumpy terrain, or create your own tracks. Catch in-game fish with the Toy-Con Fishing Rod, then view what you've caught or create original fish with Toy-Con Piano in Aquarium mode! You can also play quick tunes with Toy-Con Piano, or record your own music. Insert blocks into your Toy-Con House to feed a creature, play minigames with it, and who knows what else! Then go beyond in the included Toy-Con Garage mode to invent new ways to play with each Toy-Con project in the Variety Kit or create your very own! Once you've experienced what it's like to Make, Play, and Discover with Nintendo Labo™, use everything you've learned to create your very own projects in Toy-Con Garage! Just take digital building-blocks called "input nodes," "middle nodes," and "output nodes" and, with the help of this intuitive tool's visual user interface, combine them in all sorts of different ways. Change a Toy-Con creation's reactions to button presses, movements, and more! Toy-Con Garage includes handy tutorials to get you started. Experiment with your Toy-Con Fishing Rod, Motorbike, House, and Piano, or craft original designs using your own items like cardboard and plastic cups, as you take your creativity and imagination to the next level! * Additional Joy-Con controllers required (sold separately).

I was a little weary of a cardboard project, but this is well designed. My 8 year old grandson and I have spent about about 8-10 hours over a couple days to build 3 of the items. Fishing Pole RC car Piano (it really works and has moving keys!!) He was able to do all the work. Great, easy to follow and fun instructions are on the Switch itself. He really had a lot of fun. We also got the robot kit which is also a lot of fun!

Bought Labo for my 6 year old. Unfortunately, that is too young to handle the tedious folds and construction of the cardboards. However, I still think it is neat for little, future engineers. Step by step insructions are easy to follow.

Fold cardboard and watch the creations come to life! The Keyboard took my daughter and I more than an hour. Still more projects to do. and, she gets to color and decorate which is her favorite part.

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 had mixed feelings about the labo concept and still do after my purchase. I justified purchasing as thinking I'm paying for the software along with the cardboard. The idea of building something out of thick paper and bringing it to life with your switch is certainly creative that could only be executed by Nintendo. I opened it up on a rainy Sunday and started the project with the kids. The instructions are super easy to follow but very time consuming. After awhile the kids got distracted and I ended up continuing on my own. After a couple of hours I felt I was done but the kids came back for encouragement and we finished it quickly. Once the project was completed it was cool to have it interact with the switch. I guess if you enjoy Lego projects you might enjoy this. I'm not a big fan of putting things together so would pass on this purchase if I could go back. Again I can totally see how someone else might enjoy this product and ultimately the finished projects were cool.
