Nintendo Labo Pricing & Package Details Revealed

[@moarika7378]

If advanced cardboard isn’t the future idk what is

[@philipp5756]

what do you mean with advanced?

[@moarika7378]

Phil Dodi it's cardboard with advanced technology, what did you not get?

[@Maestoso28]

What about high tech glass?

[@zeyode]

Dopy I think it's just working off the IR camera in the right joycon, along with the gyroscopes in both joycons.

[@richieribbon]

First google releases cardboard, then Nintendo does this

[@RadioCarter]

“How can we reuse all those WiiU boxes?”
“I got an idea!” 🙂

[@leakypeach6250]

Radio Carter Don't you mean Wii got an idea

[@cursedkevin]

Radio Carter I love this.

[@JC21]

Genius. Just genius.

[@floralspr1te]

LMAO

[@seant1326]

I'm pretty sure those Wii U boxes use a different cardboard.

[@rayminishi689]

Okay, not gonna lie. That controllable bug that uses HD vibration to guide its direction is pretty cool.

[@jackgarcia5926]

I thought it was a fancy comb.

[@11equalsfish]

But what surfaces will it work on? Can it go up inclines?

[@ForTheBoobies]

Koh Dee it would only work on hard surfaces because there has to be enough stability in order for it to pick up the vibrations and translate it to movement. It would not be able to go up inclines because as it vibrated it would just slide down. It would need some sort of claw mechanisms to hold it in place while it vibrates up. Sorry for bad English.

[@GravityTheGhost]

The true power of the Joy Cons are finally being shown.

[@ZacBac118]

GravityTheGhost for $80...

[@davidrivero4991]

ξχρgαmεr ηιητεηdυdε 64 hell yeah this guy knows what's up

[@GravityTheGhost]

ξχρgαmεr ηιητεηdυdε 64 That was only phase one ;^)
Phase 2: 4/20 69

[@GravityTheGhost]

ZacBac118 >Robot Pack comes with a full game plus the materials

[@zengof]

GravityTheGhost true.

[@Lex6d6]

Can't wait to see someone playing the robot game on a plane...

[@drpepperman2765]

Denis Ferro Me: "This kid won't stop kicking my seat!"
Person next to me: "Just turn around and ask him to stop."
Me: "fine."
(Turns around towards the kid)
Me: "Holy shit! This dudes got that cardboard robot thing! I ain't even mad anymore. Can I try that?"
(Grabs the kit and hits the seat in front of me while I pretend I'm a giant robot.)
And repeat all the way up to the front of the plane

[@thetoot9615]

Until you knock out the pilot and everyone dies

[@duckerdoo]

As the plane plummets into Sony's HQ. Nintendo's greatest plan. >:)

[@shigerumiyamoto8269]

Hey now, don't knock it until you buy it. Make sure you pre-order it before the scalpers buy it all up. It's going to be a hit! Believe me!

[@yourneighbor5010]

Shigeru Miyamoto 80 bucks for an indie game?

[@Pro-nz9fj]

Shigeru Miyamoto I believe you are a dumbass

[@emilysong2000]

So...why didn't Nintendo decide to release Nintendo Labo on "Box"ing Day?

[@Lightspeeds]

GODDAMNIT EM!!!

[@joshmargolis1424]

Instead 4.20 so high people will accidentally buy it

[@Blueissuperior]

who would release somthing the day after christmas

[@AacroX]

emilysong2000 cuz they’d have to wait 11 months
*Lol nice pun*

[@labrynianrebel]

The release date should have been April Fool's Day, just to mess with people.

[@brammerz3193]

Loads of people forgetting that a game is also included with the package which is probably why the cost is steep.

[@hectorwhoz]

Ian-moone123 Those games better be AAA worthy otherwise! It's not worth it!

[@georgeg5979]

Ian-moone123 The games are 50-60$, where in godsname/stanname/Iwataname is cardboard 20-30$?

[@MrRedGreenBlue1]

Ian-moone123 oh yes, such amazing games as that one e3 demo that went nowhere, and a god danm piano! But who can forget my favourite one, thing that vibrates in a direction you tell it to!
Half of these are free games on the app store, the other half no one in their right mind would want.

[@TonyJenn]

Nice Dude this is for little kids. Wtf would a "AAA" budget be put into this? Lol

[@nephyf.3211]

reminder that Nintendo thinks 1-2-Switch was worth full retail price

[@rayflyers]

Andre wasn't too far off when he said it might be wood.

[@vortexluigirosalina5557]

RayquazaFlyer maybe to avoid splinters?

[@CrossfacePanda]

You know what’s funny about people complaining how it’s “$70 for some cardboard”? I bet you at least one of these people spent more than that on a cardgame like Pokemon or YuGiOh at some point in their life. Literally cardboard. And I bet they felt that had value at the time.
Heck, this goes for most plastic things as well: you never pay according to what the material for a product is actually worth. You pay for the experience the product is giving you. Technically, all video games are ones and zeroes, they don’t have any physical value whatsoever. Yet you still gladly pay for them, because they give you an enjoyable experience. Arguing “well, it’s cardboard, therefore it’s not worth the money” is a horrible argument (especially since it comes with software, which makes it a complete experience).
Just saying it’s simply not for you is a much better argument. Or even that the experience as a whole is not worth $70 to you. It’s fine, it’s for kids, not for you. But ragging on and on about the cardboard is just fucking stupid.

[@CrossfacePanda]

THETOOT Got to me? No. I can still explain how their logic doesn’t make any sense, though. Just because you make fun of people’s inane logic doesn’t mean you’ve been rattled to your core. Simply means you bothered to open your mouth and respond.

[@_elynas]

Lmao no its stupid, no parent is going to buy their child $70 for cardboard.

[@maggintons]

Ive been on the lego store.. ive seen £100 lego sets.. this isnt out of the ordinary

[@justanordinarypigeon1489]

My grandma has crippling depression no need to buy amiibo too am I right? It's all just overpriced plastic statues with a small bit of content locked on them..

[@justanordinarypigeon1489]

This needs to be pinned at the top of the comment section

[@MrBizznessMan]

$70 to $80 for Specifically Cut Cardboard sets, similar to Lego (Which go upwards of over 200 sometimes) Other parts with working pully and Gear Mechanisms. AND the actual game. Nintendo Switch games are $60.
So they're selling a $60 game, and Carboard+ for 10-20 based on its components. Not that unreasonable.

[@cosmicjenny4508]

+Arcane Corona LEGO needs to pay for its licensing, and LEGO usually stands at around 10¢ per piece. But how big are these games? I'm happy to pay $60 for something like Odyssey, because it's a big game. But would these Toy-con games be worth the £60 for cardboard?

[@MrBizznessMan]

Based on knowledge, it's not your run of the mill box cardboard, It's reinforced stuff that has magnets in it. Durable and not going to rip if you're too rough. (Fridge Magnets, Not enough to cause problems)

[@brunoshure]

I thought that the prices were 60 and 70, not 70 and 80...

[@brunoshure]

9to10 Gaming we don't know anything, how could you be so sure?

[@popburnsy3207]

9to10 Gaming technically, the "worth" of software is whatever the manufactured suggested Retail price is, so they get the price right because that's how much they're charging for it.

[@LegendsP137]

I know Labo is all ready get major flack but I honestly think this is so cool and interesting. As something that is for kids it's down right amazing to see this company pushing to spark younger kids creativity. I feel like once people see this in action. The opinion on it will change.

[@drpepperman2765]

LegendsP Like the switch itself when it was first announced. Everyone was bashing the specs but it went on to become a massive success, and I have a feeling history is repeating itself.
Also, I'm 19 and I know this is for kids, but I'm gonna buy the shit out of this. The possibilities with the joystick configuration as well as the robot kit have me very interested

[@commonsensei8719]

Its awesome! Its the wii accesorries allover again but environmental friendly!! Wow what a great idea

[@djapster]

the builds are quite intricate. apparently, the piano set takes more or less 2 hrs to make

[@MothLordDip]

I found the robot kit interesting, as it made me think of the motion-capture suits. If somehow the Switch did get VR it could be a combination of the two resulting in a motion rig. THAT would be really cool

[@jackson5116]

why for kids though when nearly 85% of Switch owners are over the age of 18? Nintendo's own report shows the HUGE amount of Switch owners are over the age of 18: nintendoeverything.com/kimishima-on-how-people-are-playing-switch-usage-by-household/

[@MartinMKGamerJohnson]

$70/$80.
$60 games + $10/$20 cardboard sets.
Completely understandable pricing for what it is.

[@hectorwhoz]

Martin Johnson Understandable if the games contents are equal to that of Mario Odyssey! Or Splatoon... Or even Arms.
Which I doubt they are!

[@MrRedGreenBlue1]

Martin Johnson it's understandable in broad terms, until you realize that your saying that a shitty piano app, a fishing game and miyamoto's e3 2015 demo are worth as much as breath of the wild, mario odyssey, xenoblade 2, splatoon, etc.
When you put it my way you look like a jack ass that only likes this because it has a nintendo logo.

[@pinksnake7584]

there are amazing toys for kids out there you never heard of bedcause it's not Nintendo, so no, not any company

[@TonyJenn]

MrRedGreenBlue1 but this isn't marketed towards gamers like you and me. This is towards parents with kids. They'll value things differently then you or I.

[@ThatNewGamer]

more like £30 game and £40 cardboard because Nintendo wanna make money because of how cheap the cardboard is too pre cut and do all that. Nintendo about to make $$$

[@shuntarofurukawa4807]

2:04 - 2:09 New packs for the future confirmed?

[@qwerp3]

Where's Miyamoto?

[@ItsaGamer05]

Jake. 06 he’s too busy being top comment

[@peelacar1809]

Tatsumi Kimishima i saw that camera and said " better be fuckin pokemon snap 2"

[@shigerumiyamoto8269]

I'm going to need you all to bear with me. All great things start from small beginnings. Just have some faith! We're past the Wii U era!

[@bedazzlebub967]

There’s a Swan, a car a camera, a gun, a thing (too close to know what it is), and other things that kind of look like the car.

[@xGoldenArrow]

TOYCONBOYS

[@Tastypieinyourmouth]

BOYTOYBOYS

[@ThatNewGamer]

ToyCon Boys grow up to be Joycon Boys, and then Joycon Boys grow up into joycon Men. Nintendo slowly creating the Etika joycon family.

[@Melee_Yoshi]

TOYCON BOIS

[@tbtb66]

Is it overpriced? Hell Yes
Am I still gonna buy it?
yes

[@pandasbass7267]

TruelyJohn64 you’re part of the problem

[@tbtb66]

Panda'sBass Ok?

[@pokemonbeing3283]

Why is it overpriced? A switch game is 60$

[@tbtb66]

ola kase Could stand to be like 10 dollars less or so...
really depends on the type of cardboard they're using for me to justify a price.

[@iftekharahmed6799]

You're paying $70 for Cardboard.

[@luckysix1015]

Nintendo was a toy company back in the day, cool to see that they still got it. Too bad it’s kinda pricey but we’ll see if the quality makes up for it.

[@drpepperman2765]

luckysix It's Nintendo. All they do is make quality products (at least nowadays).

[@luckysix1015]

I know that, I mean is it 70 dollars of quality.

[@TripleJump]

drpepperman2765
Nah. Nintendo's been consistently producing quality products since after the Virtual Boy.

[@luckysix1015]

true

[@thepope2412]

Nintendo's quallity goes down every fucking year. The switch has been their first interesting gimmick for a while now. Other than that they make decent games which only sell on nostalgia and name brand.

[@xhere14]

*OMG THEY SAID IT WAS BEING TARGETED FOR KIDS!* *WHAT'S WRONG WITH PEOPLE ,MAN!?*

[@MrSargBagles]

Yeah a kid who's paying $70 for some cardboard.

[@BluGloop]

AndyBagel
And a game

[@lakitudude7577]

AndyBagel kids have payed more for shittier

[@kinryuten]

LakituDude Like Star Wars Battlefront 2

[@BluGloop]

AndyBagel
What about kids buting a $60 game but get the best edition for like $150 just to get a small toy.

[@McTrOiD]

It’s a fun and unique concept, but I don’t know how the execution is going to succeed with that pricing.

[@spikybry]

You pay 60$ bucks for a game, this is just a game plus 10 or 20 extra for the cardboard templates or whatever

[@ridgenyan-botxv367]

at least it's just cardboard, right?

[@McTrOiD]

spikybry Yes, but this is targeted for children. Parents are more likely to buy their kids a game than something they’ll only touch once or twice.

[@ShadowSkyX]

$50 is a lot more reasonable...for the whole package.

[@nougatpersonal]

Yeah... 60 for everything or it's just kinda over to where it would just turn people the other way

[@paradoxzee6834]

For people who are disapointed it is not Smash or Virtual Console.
Nintendo say ITS FOR KIDS Virtual Console is for people that are nostalgic, that is the opposite of kids.
I told people who ruin every direct with they Smash spamming but I guess they dont wanna to lissen, wait for e3, Smash is a e3 game you wont get it in a random direct.

[@Stratilex]

CodeNameZ I agree, but your spelling is horrific.

[@paradoxzee6834]

It is almost midnight here, that may be the reason

[@georgeg5979]

CodeNameZ Smash would be a 2019 thing

[@PlatinumTeabag]

Who was retarded enough to believe this was going to be smash?! They said it was for fucking kids... Some people hype up every tiny announcement only to dissapoint themselves. Unbelievable.

[@peacorptv6502]

CodeNameZ it won't be this E3, it will be the next one.

[@ruckus3k]

And is the robot one the scrapped project giant robot thing?

[@TheVisionaryLeo]

yup!

[@CalebWillden]

But with leg controls! And you can also drive around like a tank.

[@SyrupFan]

Wasn't the robot thing made for the slippy starfox game?

[@bentatek]

I think people are also forgetting that the software is included? So you’re paying for the software and the included materials so it’s a little more reasonable, but still kind of pricey yeah, hopefully a price drop happens at some point

[@cosmelia652]

Ikr?
I’ve seen a lot of people claim ‘It’s just cardboard’ but ignore the software itself...
Smh

[@ShadowSkyX]

PlanofAttacktician [Ben] to be fair, i think if you exclude the software (game/app, whatever it ends up being called) you'd be paying about the same price for the cardboard, stickers and markers, maybe more depending on where you get them.

[@bentatek]

ShadowSkyX good point, but if we look at 1-2-Switch for reference, the app itself could cost a fair amount on its own. Ah well nothing we can really do about it

[@steelbeans]

We out here buying cardboard

[@SunCityGamer]

The Manzilla Show For our kids 😎

[@NidorinoAlliance]

As well as a game

[@claudinecoker9551]

The Manzilla S

[@juancgonzalez2102]

I'm 20 and I want it

[@eliasjude5792]

Juan Gonzalez same...

[@heehaw132]

that's sad

[@jackson5116]

nearly 85% of Switch owners are over the age of 18, meaning that only about 1 million Switch owners are kids, so if every child owned it, they'd sell a measly million! See for yourself how many Switch owners are over 18 if you don't believe it! nintendoeverything.com/kimishima-on-how-people-are-playing-switch-usage-by-household/

[@t.o.p.4175]

Jack Son That is really sad. Honestly, if you're over 10 years old and like Nintendo and the shady business practices they're doing, like selling $80 fucking dollars for cardboard, then you need medical attention. After seeing this, I'm taking my son's Switch and selling it because I actually care for his mental health.

[@juancgonzalez2102]

StarsnGravity one who says is king is no true king

[@wempwomp]

To everyone hating the Nintendo Labo: this is NOT like anything else. It really showcases what the Switch can do and teaches kids to really be kids again. Plus, while it IS pretty expensive: $60= cartridge. $10-20: rest of the Labo. I think this is a really good example of Nintendo being creative. and if you ARE going to hate on it, don't be so harsh!

[@IWantToStayAtYourHouse]

I find a problem with this because kids can easily break cardboard, and they will ask their parents to replace the cardboard which will cost another $70. Thats just greedy.

[@regiuniverse]

Can’t wait for this. Super excited for the robit

[@arlynwin]

Pyukumuku Army Uhh, I can't tell if your really excited for this or just plain sarcastic.

[@regiuniverse]

Erwin Flores Actually excited

[@bedazzlebub967]

I’m excited 4 the roblox set, thas gongna b col!
(Its ironic misspelling btw, don’t want anyone thinking I can’t spell.)

[@cobaltblu4196]

have fun spending 70$ for some fucking cardboard that will last you a day of fun.
stupid nintendo fanboys i swear

[@Josh-os7vn]

There is a bunch of potential here; Rock Band, -big's fishing adventure 3- , Advanced Arms Gameplay, music-making games- MARIO PAINT! Heck that gun looks great for like Duck Hunt remastered or even a game of Splatoon 2!

[@matthewwaller8957]

OMG THIS LOOKS SO COOL I WANT THEM
*sees price*
Err... I don’t want it anymore.

[@RS-xy1sf]

Matthew Waller i wanna know what the house does

[@beatles123]

it has an entire kit plus a game

[@popburnsy3207]

Wait 6-8 months, we'll these on sale sooner or later

[@superWTF64lol]

Biggest problem for me would be them taking up space like a guitar hero controller/Wii fit balance board
You know the story, you may use them a lot when it's set up, but almost never consistently, they start to get dusty, you don't know where to put them, you consider selling it but then you would need to purchase the accessory again, etc.
AND to make matters worse, there are like SIX of them, and they are much easier to damage. Could you imagine having 6 different guitar hero controllers?

[@theyoungladd7700]

This is why I'm skepital about labo

[@tasteless_sandwiches]

when's the 70 hour discussion coming

[@kirbylover37]

tastelesssandwiches
Wouldn't at least 70 hours have to pass for that to even be a possibility?

[@zac6548]

Me as a 11 year old will be broke after this because I’m buying all of the kits and the customization kit

[@TheNintendoman64]

$70? I’m going to make these out of pizza boxes!

[@GZCoo]

well then you are still missing the strings and other stuff that comes with the cardboard and even then you are still missing the game...

[@phrogzy]

TheNintendoman64 and then that smells good!

[@pokemonbeing3283]

TheNintendoman64 and the game that it includes as well? I wanna see that

[@Trikeboy2]

the software that actually makes everything work can be found in those pizza boxes?

[@cosmelia652]

So...
You’re going to make the software itself out of pizza boxes?
Interesting...

[@SuperDj-nk4ro]

They went from toys to consoles to toys and consoles...huh

[@snakefish18]

No, but the Ultra Hand was.

This is just like Nintendo's motto about "Lateral thinking with withered technology", and it also makes me think about all the toys Nintendo released in the 60s and 70s. I'm sold! :D

[@angelh1039]

It’s just VR on a budget

[@darkzomboy8342]

angel Mendoza Budget? At an 80$ price?

[@rerako4755]

AR on a interesting budget

[@averagefez]

You're thinking of Google Cardboard.

[@69texaseyes]

VR for homeless bums

[@glorious720p_2]

There's nothing that's even remotely close to be here

[@GeorgeMarionerd]

Hearing more about how it works makes me more excited for it, but yowza... That price...

[@thedonahoes]

Is it just me or are there kits in the trailer that aren't announced yet.

[@Trikeboy2]

there are two packs. The one with the robot game is one pack, everything else is in the other.

[@thedonahoes]

RM_Prime I checked out the Labo site. What is listed in Kit one doesn't include things like the wheel and the bird that are shown in the trailer.

[@Trikeboy2]

You are right, there are a few others. My bet, they will be released without the game so will be cheaper.

[@djapster]

the designs are actually quite intricate and ingenious. these creations really utilizes the joycon's IR camera and HD rumble features

[@asoiaf__]

$70 for interactive cardboard. Good job Nintendo.

[@nichi_k]

Too Dank it's not like it comes with software, haha, amrite?

[@AxlTheScourge]

well all the money is going towards the game
the cardboard has tech in it so it much be highly advanced cardboard
i guess this is Nintendo's answer to VR. dont use a headset to get an authentic feel. use the cardboard as a real object you build
it promotes creativity buliding skills which would come in handy in high school trust me
and is meant to give kdis fun new ways to experience games without over spending on a VR set.

[@yz250moto7]

V-Mon Link64 High School lmfao idk what school you went to but I would not have wanted this in 6th grade it seems way to childish for something as fradgile as the switch mostly talking about the joycons and sliding them on and off I would not allow a 10 year old to mess with mine but thats just me

[@qwerp3]

V-Mon Link64 The game doesn't look 60 dollars worthy. However, I think the idea is very creative and can't wait to play it!

[@goosebyte]

60$ for a game, 10-20$ for some cardboard, rubber bands, etc. Possibly markers. Cardboard being printed and pre-cut. Probably not cheap cardboard either.

[@ssjduelistDD]

Wow. Myamoto doesn't give up on ideas. This is the robot game from the Wii U tech demo with the beta version of star fox guard.

[@florianplack2973]

Why is everybody saying that it's too expensive? The sets also includes games, and the robot set is litteraly a VR device...

[@therandomgamer8107]

SMM Flo cause it’s cardboard

[@Armm8991]

Not VR.
AR rather. And its too pricy because its just a small AR software with some cardboard, for $80.
Its too much...

[@mas8705]

This is definitely going to be a thing we’ll see with maker space groups since I can imagine that having kids build their own stuff and learn how they function.
Will be neat to see how far this idea goes and how his can be expanded on.

[@henrycharles2489]

OMG! Remember project giant robot from e3 2014ish?

[@Octorber13]

Henry Kemblowski so thats what they did with it

[@Gat720Dua]

Honestly this is kinda cute, I definitely would like to try out the robot one. Maybe make a Pacific Rim game out of it.

[@Sam-se5vs]

This is exactly what they said it was gonna be. If you're disappointed, it's 100 percent your fault.

[@theyoungladd7700]

Meme Injector im disappointed at the price
But I'm way more dispointed I mean like a lot pissed about the limited supply of nes minis

[@Sam-se5vs]

Theyoungladd We can’t say that it’s overpriced until we know more about the game itself.

[@declanhinshaw4791]

All those games look exclusive to these things, so you’re probably getting a game too

[@ahmadsaleem573]

Snake in Super Smash Bros 5 confirmed!

[@huntingsweets6119]

People are just going to set it on fire and blame Nintendo

[@dogdoggington]

Thank god someone cleared that up, I was convinced it was pure magic.

[@TripleJump]

I still think that this is really cool.

[@blakemorris1300]

Ok. I did triple my price expectation, but apparently I needed to do that again.

[@pepijnsars8188]

What's next, make your own console?

[@oneangerylittlechild1103]

Hopefully.

[@BahuschBahusch]

To be honest, I would have no idea what to make the Switch is already perfect.
Hardware-wise of course, I'd still like something like the fake 5,0 update leak

[@Drewtwo64]

Pepijn Sars That’s called a PC

[@zengof]

Pepijn Sars that would actually look cool.

[@DiscoDeoxys]

Well it's cool that the IR sensor is getting some use, I hope more devs find new and interesting ways to utilize it

[@NightFlyStudio]

This has Miyamoto written all over it.

[@Yetaxa]

that does look suspiciously like Project Giant Robot...

[@Balthazar2242]

This is brilliant. It uses that IR camera in a worthy way, and other functions like HD rumble to buzz a "car" across a table. It's super smart and I love it.
Hope the makers at #tested check this out

[@SpiralRhapsody]

Pricing was the ONE issue I was concerned about and uhh, oof, not looking too good. Just sad because this does look pretty cool.

[@Jbarker1983]

Spiral Rhapsody That includes software. The $70 one works out to about $14 per kit. That’s not a bad price at all.

[@catriamflockentanz]

What I'm asking: Is the Labo Robo Kit = Project Giant Robot?

[@MojoMicah]

Seems pricey,
But it has a game included, so not really.

[@Hameruu]

Childhood indeed. When i was a wee little boy. . I used to play in cardboard boxes. Now i can relive that experience

[@goombaboomba593]

Nintendo’s high and i like it 🙏Kimishima🙏

[@inklingmario5974]

Another promise that Kimishima is keeping I love how he is running the company it looks really cool I ain't going to lie kids will enjoy this.

[@kalebcabrera7411]

This looks fun 🙂

[@mx4159]

What would be awesome with something like this is a game that lets you program the joycon for your own creations

[@himalilycp]

They bugging with the price tho
I assume its mainly for the game but where does the rest of the money go?

[@LOLManArchives]

Honestly?
...The materials. MAYBE.
Cardboard, strings, all that stuff.
but i don't know that much about production cost and stuff so take what i say with a grain of salt
(just like the people getting salty when a game is announced)

[@franandfriends199]

I honestly don't know why people are complaining this idea is pretty cool ^_^

[@mokeymokey1035]

OK here’s the thing that bothers me the most, the sets or whatever they’re called, they are made of cardboard and thus won’t last very long if you play with them regularly! The cardboard will eventually wear down after about a months use you’ll have to buy new $10-$20 cutouts.
Btw, mass producing cardboard cut outs only costs about 20 cents per cut out and that’s being generous. You are being ripped off.
P.S. yes I know there’s other shit that comes with it, such as the game, and a few other things like rubber bands and other building materials but the price is still REALLY high.

[@gerdz101]

$10 in a month or 2 depending on how you use it? No probs. I have a job.

[@fernando98322]

I can't believe the engineering, specially the Piano and the Robot. I saw a quote about how the Piano works and I'm in love. But it's so pricey I don't wanna get it lol

[@Alex-oz1zg]

for those who are whining about the price or product, ITS AIMED MAINLY AT KIDS, get that through your head ppl.

[@kryzethx]

Will kids even want this though..? The rc car looks fun to play with, but I mean... legos seem better, especially for the price..

[@monarchsub]

tell that to $200 lego kits

[@cosmicjenny4508]

+Monarchsub X Oh, you mean the Ultimate *Collector's* Series sets? The ones aimed at adults?

[@monarchsub]

no i mean the 300 piece non premium star ship model kits that u find at Walmart.

[@ZXChris93]

The robot game package is a bit steep for 80 bucks. Even if the cardboard is 20 bucks, that's the game being 60 dollars. I could buy like 2 games with that money.
But the variety package seems kind of right on its price point. 5 games and the cardboard needed for 70 dollars? That's a much better deal personally.

[@SolgaleoGaming]

Any other people feel threatened by the casual approach of 2018? I thought nintendo were past this..

[@dino-t243]

No because they've been directing it towards older audiences so far and they want to give a reason for kids to get it too

[@SolgaleoGaming]

Dino-T Thank you for saying that.. I'm calming down now.

[@lerminatorgamer9398]

SolgaleoGaming e3 hasn’t come yet bruh calm down

[@dino-t243]

SolgaleoGaming No problem, I also think it's a really cool idea

[@TheHatwolf]

SolgaleoGaming Not as long as they still have Metroid Prime 4 and Bayonetta 3 coming. I do get concerned, if they stop making those core game announcement and we get only casual games to look forward to ... but one of those once in a while is fine with me.

[@Brave_Tsubasa]

Have to admit, I don’t love the idea, but it still does look pretty cool

[@otherverge]

The price turned me right off

[@MoarRobots]

The Dark Boi Dank matter it includes games that is why it is expensive.
$60 game + $10/$20 of cardboard

[@Lattrodon]

im just glad theres finally a use for the IR camera on the r joycon lol

[@novicetim6138]

I don't know about you, but this is day 1 for me.

[@Drewsefer89]

This actually seems really neat. It's pretty cheap too. Everyone complaining it's cardboard & too expensive. Well than your priorities shouldn't be video games. But the discovery & creating aspect of this is a really awesome feature for the Switch.

[@PL-pn9iu]

When you pay 70 dollars for cardboard

[@re-mi8144]

PJ Comics There's a game included

[@projeckttea6969]

Uh, there’s games included mah dude!

[@t.o.p.4175]

Pretty much goes to show that Nintendo Fanboys aka Pedophiles, will buy ANYTHING from Nintendo.

[@PL-pn9iu]

Don't get me wrong I like Nintendo but the cardboard will eventually break if not taken care of properly not designed to last the robot one shown has four joy cons and where do you put the cardboard when your done?

[@joshuafrendomenendez]

StarsnGravity wait, does this mean. I like Nintendo. o my goodness I must be a pedophile

[@onetwo6039]

I can't wait to see an umboxing video on this.

[@paulbonomo6382]

Not too bad

[@red5robb1]

Nintendo, bringing video games and old school toys together in one package....I would be super stoked for this if I was younger but not now
this is a really smart idea though and I hope it does well!

[@justanotherdood753]

80 ?! for cardboard dood?!?!............ I mean... it's creative I guess......... but why tho dood?!

[@brammerz3193]

Just another dood Well the cardboard will be some of the cost but the package will also include software to play so that's probably where the bulk of the cost comes from.

[@furbymaster4239]

MONEY!!!!

[@Scrubahh]

it does come with all the games. Still pricey though.

[@DededeDevious]

shouldnt you be working for seraphina, dood?

[@justanotherdood753]

Still... selling cardboard with a game dood... I'll give A for audacity to nintendo on this one I guess...
Also I can easily...E A S I L Y see this stuff breaking faster than BOTW weapons dood...

[@Kiwi_Cat21]

How about the cardboard box that comes with it can be used to make some thing else, added value!

[@yourneighbor5010]

*_WhEreS sMasH?_*

[@ShadowSkyX]

Your Neighbor "targeted at kids, and kids at heart" Smash is not a little kids' game (goes for pretty much anyone under 8).

[@TripleJump]

ShadowSkyX
Alternating capitalization suggests that it is being said in a mocking tone. Ergo, he agrees with you.

[@facutheo]

I love you

[@Kirb-dv5hy]

Who's ready for paper mario and the cardboard stars.

[@LOLManArchives]

While I love this idea, 80$ though?
It pains to say that I don't think people will get this.
BUT. Skylanders was a thing. Lego Dimensions was a thing. Kids LOVED those.
So I dunno. People are pretty negative about this thing as is so....

[@spikybry]

Includes software, so it seems fine. Plus it being cardboard means you can probably easily replace small pieces at a fraction of the cost

[@Spearra]

People thought amiibo were silly for the price and more a less doubted the concept period. That ended up alright. Then again Nintendo always has a veil of doubt regardless of what they're doing so there's that to keep in mind.

[@pixelpassion655]

Kids nowdays don't want to put shit like this together maybe 1 out of 10 kids will most might use it once or twice and never touch it again

[@kryzethx]

I only remember amiibo being hyped to hell, especially considering it was announced at the height (or just before the fall) of the toys-to-life craze like Skylanders and Disney Infinity. This however...

[@sleepyespurr2922]

LOLMan This is along the lines of Stem hexbug toys, or those how to engineer kits you get from retail stores. Those things get pretty pricey as they got supplemental components sold seperately.

[@thatlushguy7182]

People who dont understand this and the pricing arent the target audience, 8 year old me would have been enthralled by this for hours upon hours

[@James-js9rp]

$80 for pieces of cardboard?

[@MojoMicah]

James Edits
20 for the cardboard.

[@xGoldenArrow]

James Edits and a game which uses those cardboard stuff

[@jupiterjaheim6550]

Yes

[@cosmelia652]

No, did you not see the software at the end?

[@r34dood]

James Edits AND A GAME

[@Zucchinna]

I won't lie, this seems really interesting. we'll have to see how functional the final product really is, but it's a neat idea

[@Drewtwo64]

Doesn’t matter. You’re all going to buy it anyway.

[@ZsH85]

Doesnt matter we are all going to die anyway

[@rcdr898]

A new use for the camera! Yaaaaaay

[@disappointedoptimist8659]

Well this will break easily

[@Semaze]

The Robot Kit reminds me of the Switch VR concepts.

[@lssjgaming1599]

Overpriced cardboard. The piano looks cool though and the robot looks cool. Still is overpriced cardboard

[@deltaluke1498]

it also comes with a game. And colored string. cool right?

[@JacobAllen918]

1:16 It sounded (Mind you, internet, I said "SOUNDED") like he said "Toycon Murder Bike". xD That's kinda funny, actually. And, yes, I know he said "Toycon motorbike".

[@dededetheking5094]

If the kids destroy the stuff and sell the game at gamestop will They sell the game for $20 or under because it is only over priced cardbored

[@PhilipJFryII]

I really love that piano...

[@CionSAGA]

Needs to lower the price.

[@brianlovesmc]

CionSAGA 60 for the game 10 for the cardboard

[@jrmcguire405]

They probably will

[@Sam-sn8oy]

I am DEFINATELY getting the robot thing!
