Nintendo Labo (Switch – April 20)
When it comes to innovation in the video games industry, Nintendo is certainly the most ambitious. Be it the motion controls of the Wii, the hybrid nature of its Switch, or its latest foray into peripherals with Nintendo Labo – a cardboard DIY kit that, once built, acts as a fun, novel way to interact with your Switch and the accompanying software.
For example, you can build a cardboard fishing rod, throw some Joy-Con in there, and whittle away the hours catching fish with an actual reel. Or, build yourself a mini piano, slot the Switch in, press the keys and jam to your heart’s content as the notes play from your system.
Nintendo Labo releases in two variants in April 2018. There’s a Variety Kit that’ll let you do build and play around with all the stuff you see in the image above, or you can get the Robo Kit for $10 more, wear a cardboard robot outfit and stomp around your living room crushing enemies.
