If you have a Nintendo Switch and you haven’t yet ordered a Nintendo Labo kit, we have one single question: what on Earth is wrong with you!? Okay fine, not having already preordered a Nintendo Labo kit doesn’t necessarily mean there’s something wrong with you. That said, Labo kits are the coolest thing to happen to the Nintendo Switch since, well, the Nintendo Switch. These awesome kits are tied to games on the Switch, and they’re delivered as flat sheets of cardboard that you assemble yourself using instructions in the associated Switch game. Once you’re done, you incorporate Joy-Con controllers or even the Switch console itself into your creation, resulting in fun interactive games.
Here’s a video that shows Nintendo Labo kits in action:
