I think they said that cardboard-only sets will be available as well, presumably for those who want to get it digitally or those who already have it and just broke the first one beyond repair.

I know these things won't last that long (the robot for sure has a lot of moving parts) but they should at least last months and not hours I expect. do you have many toys from when you were a kid that were made of cardboard?

This means that they are shlepped around between 2-5 different caretakers (some older/more out of touch than others) every month. Not a whole lotta leeway for in-depth monitoring of their second-to-second actions there

I've spent the last year with a 3 and a 5-year-old and it's not that difficult. You control the devices. Every device has parental controls, there's a reason Nintendo makes it mandatory to go through the setup when you get a new console, even if it's just to be like "nah, I don't want to enable Parental Controls." It's pretty fuckin' easy, compared to like 90% of the poo poo parenting has to cover. And I'm not talking about the goony-goon "Imma set up a VPN and private blocklist on the router" poo poo, this is basic stuff. One of the 5 YO's friends spends 100% of her time on an Amazon tablet when they have a sleepover and even then it's easy to control access to YT in particular. Our 5YO and the 3YO both use tablets, but also watch Netflix (kids mode) and play with *gasp* real toys. I don't mean that to sound condescending to you in particular, as you seemed to be expressing a valid and reasonable question. Letting a child click on the suggested videos in the 9-video tile at the end of a YT video for hours on end is lovely, lazy parenting. You don't need to helicopter, but checking in on them every hour or two is basic bitch stuff for a parent. Hell, most kids won't let you let them go unattended for more than 5, 6 minutes, tops for the first handful of years anyway. At home, you set controls on the devices themselves, and have a password on the router. With babysitters that may not be at your house, you let the caretaker know about no YT if it's their device. This isn't rocket science.

The Kins posted:Current word going around from an IGN France article is that Nintendo will post the cardboard design patterns online for free themselves, so if you have a printer that can handle cardboard you can make your own replacements. You'll still need the Switch game to actually do a thing with them, though... You dont need a cardboard printer you make a stencil. Its not a laborious process to make a birdhouse for your gameboy

I'm honestly mostly interested in the most basic of the games: the RC Racer. It's just an interface that lets you vibrate the joycon's top half or the back half. It's so simple, I bet some wacky poo poo will come from that. Have five Switches running at once, ten joycons you can control the vibration on, surely some cool poo poo can be done using that.

Do so many people really not teach their kids to take care of poo poo, or what? I know these things won't last that long (the robot for sure has a lot of moving parts) but they should at least last months and not hours I expect. I always go back to this one example when questions like this come up. I have Rock Band, and I still have my original RB1 band kit. Everything works, the drums work great, no complaints. I would read stories online of people saying stuff like "I went through my 3rd bass drum pedal, these things are trash!" or talking about how their guitar no longer registers up strums, or their drums now randomly drop notes. I thought I just had good equipment and these guys didn't or something. Then I had my teenage cousins over to play Rock Band one day with me. The amount of force and recklessness that was shown when playing plastic instruments was hard to watch. I am honestly surprised that my instruments lasted with them playing with them just one time. People treat their stuff in all sorts of ways. For every person out there that delicately takes their switch in and out of the dock, there is the person that just slams it in and wonders how their screen got scratched. Anyways... who cares if they break this stuff. I think I read that they are making refill kits? Just have fun with it. I don't know why people put such high value on video games. Families will easily drop $60 on a 2 hour movie that they only see once, but have serious hesitations about spending the same amount on a game that will give them an experience that lasts 5x-10x longer. Chances are that by the time it breaks they will lose interest in it and be onto the next game.

I predict that in November/December, "adult" "gamers" will be complaining online that they can't find a Switch in stores to play Bayonetta 3/Metroid Prime/Pokemon/Dark Souls/Whatever else is coming out because every parent is buying 2 Switches and Labo expansion packs for little Johnny and Susie, and how dare they have cheap fun while I need to consuming sophisticated video games.

After reading up on it more tonight, the only thing I am disappointed with is that it seems like the variety kit and robot kit come with their own game software, rather than just a generic Labo software cartridge that is updated with DLC for each kit. So I think we can expect each new kit beyond these two to also come with their own cartridge. Will be interesting to see if they do a eShop download that works with the refill kits, or if we will really need a individual cartridge for each toycon kit.

Self quoting from durability chat in the previous thread:quote:A lot of people are just really rough on things without realizing it, and think that the way they slam their poo poo around is normal. Then they blame the product when it breaks and think that things like screen protectors and phone cases are necessary and the people who don't use them are the ones who are "careless". I too have lots of books and toys from when I was 5-8 years old, breaking stuff wasn't something that happened on a regular basis because my parents taught me to not break stuff like a shithead. Some people are just really hard on poo poo. A FUCKIN CANARY!! fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Jan 18, 2018 |

I'm glad that Nintendo is making the templates freely available, because at a $70 price point scalpers are going to make these kits unobtainable for years.

Yes, having some good ol' cheap fun with their two 300 dollar consoles and cardboard boxes that cost 80 bux each. Back to basics

The piano is cool as hell and I completely forgot about the IR camera. I'm interested to see how the toycons interact with the games, or if they mostly become an extension of a cardboard toy. Like the piano: I'd dig if there was some sort of light rhythm game. Splatoon tracks even better. If it was just - well, now you have a cardboard keyboard. While neat, might not justify the purchase. If the games justify the peripherals, I'll bite and maybe glitter the poo poo out of a fishing rod.

Reggie gave a few comments to TIME about the possible future for Labo. On the future: quote:Can [the Toy-Cons] be incorporated into other forms of gameplay? Certainly ... But right now we think if we effectively communicate the power of the idea with Nintendo Labo [and] really enable players to make their creations, personalize them, and enjoy the [inherent] gameplay experiences ... We think that’s going to be a great way to start and then progress down the path. On third-party Labo games: quote:While there’s nothing to announce today, certainly if we’re successful with Labo, it can create future opportunities. So, in short, this isn't a one-and-done thing.

The Kins posted:So, in short, this isn't a one-and-done thing. The numbering of the kits (Toy-con 01 and Toy-Con 02) sort of imply that these are just the first two of a series of kits. The fact that it's called 01 and not just 1 implies, to me at least, that they see having 10+ kits if it is successful. Unless this is like a Nintendo Land type thing where they just did all their ideas to showcase it at the start and have nothing in reserve for what's next.

Chiming in with the "I have things from my childhood still intact" brigade. I still have my childhood copy of Goodnight Moon I got THE DAY I WAS BORN and while it's by no means in pristine condition I'm still planning on passing it down to my own future kids, it is still perfectly readable and holds together. That being said I've lost like 50% of any games I owned before I was 15 because I was incredibly irresponsible. They're still in the house though, they turn up from time to time. Last was a motherload of 10 DS games in one of those multi-cart storage things. I think Labo is good, and I'm probably going to get the Variety pack even though I don't have kids yet, just because of the look of sheer joy my 78yo engineer father had when I showed him the video. He has arthritis and can't build exactly WITH me, but he can at least be in the same room and watch.
