nekunando Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Not sure if you're thinking the same thing, @RedShell, but I want a music set to let us embrace the glorious sequel to Wii Music we both crave Edited January 18, 2018 by nekunando 1

Aneres11 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I like what they’re doing here although wouldn’t personally invest into it myself. My only worry would be if this kind of thing spilled over into their ‘main games’, like Mario Kart or Zelda etc. It’ll likely sell well for them, but I don’t really want the main focus of the Switch to alter after its had such a strong start. Hopefully this can just run alongside the other more traditional releases in harmony...!
Ashley Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 They need to make some kind of surgeon simulator and call it Lobotomy, Aaaaand I'm out. 3

Blade Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I had to watch the video a couple of times to get what was happening. Looks fantastic for kids. I would have loved it.

Ronnie Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Ridiculously clever. Very impressive Slick video too
Julius Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Only just seen this, and honestly, it was not something that I was expecting. Actually, I don’t think it was something that anyone had been expecting. That being said, it really does seem like an interesting piece of kit, and I can’t wait to see how it’s supported going forward. Oh, and I could absolutely see the next Nintendo themed cereal box being a compatible net for this too, so if Nintendo doesn’t already have that planned...they should get in on that promotional tie-in.

markderoos Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 19 hours ago, markderoos said: A gamified application with dedicated peripherals aimed at young children that will confince them (their parents) to buy a Switch. Just the same way as Wii Fit did with its target audience. Smart strategy as that target audience is the future gaming demographic and is currently very unaware/uninterested regarding Nintendo. 15 hours ago, markderoos said: I think we should keep expectations extremely low. It will not be aimed at traditional gamers, or even gamers at all. It will be primarely aimed at (very) young kids. I’m thinking more towards ideas like the Coderpillar, but based on the Switch. Maybe some kindergarten application 1-2-Switch style? I’m keeping Wii Fit, the vitality sensor and the QoL plans in mind. More out of the box than most other stuff they’ve been releasing these past years. Ok, I could never’ve come up with what they actualy have showed. But still, I think I was close enough. *insert smug face* 1
Dcubed Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Speaking seriously for a moment, there’s a ridiculous amount of potential with Nintendo’s existing IP with Labo. Mario Maker, Paper Mario, Mario Paint, Animal Crossing (house/furniture maker), Smash Bros (Stage builder, Amiibo diorama builder), Wario Ware DIY, Luigi’s Mansion, Pikmin, Tomodachi Life (it’s already basically a doll house!), Style Boutique... Speaking of Paper Mario... Need I remind you that all of the environments in Color Splash were actually built with real cardboard before being re-created in-game... I rest my case Edited January 18, 2018 by Dcubed 1 1
Charlie Posted January 18, 2018 Author Posted January 18, 2018 I absolutely love the idea but I won't be buying it as I think it is very child oriented. If my girlfriend's siblings were a bit older (they're 4 and 6) I think this would be amazing but the older one especially is at the age where it would get destroyed within minutes. I think this is probably aimed at ages around 7-8+ as they'll be able to get more involved in the building and would be more careful with it.
Sheikah Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 This looks really cool, impossible to watch that video without a smile on your face.

You can tune the fucking piano!! You can even change the types of sounds it makes depending on how you build it!! Game of the Fucking Year! That’s class! That piano needs to work with the Korg gadget! All in all a really cool move. I don't see this conflicting with the real franchises. Statements like "Nintendo go back kiddie again" make no sense. PS did it with LittleBigPlanet and the move controllers, XBOX with Kinectimals which both were targeted at a young audience. Nintendo does the same, only better and they show some real creativity here. However, I think we will see a lot of fan creations of Gundam suits, Animal Crossing houses and Mario Karts being made from these kits! 2 1

RedShell Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Love it. Reckon it's going to earn Nintendo some serious brownie points too, what with it being both environmentally friendly and educational. It's amazing how this really dips into their past as a toy manufacturer and brings back concepts from unreleased games as well, it's like the stuff they were making in the 60's and 70's. Genius. 1
Kav Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Reading hands-on impressions actually has me thinking this may well be pretty fucking ace! Might have to pick this up after all! 1
