Nintendo Labo introduced for the Switch

Nintendo has announced the Nintendo Labo project, a new line of interactive build-and-play experiences.

Together with the Nintendo Switch system, the Nintendo Labo kits provide the tools and technology to make DIY creations. With each Nintendo Labo kit, kids can transform modular sheets of cardboard – specially designed to interact with the Nintendo Switch console and Joy-Con controllers – into creations called Toy-Con. From a piano to a motorbike, a robot and more, each Toy-Con interacts with Nintendo Switch in different ways.

Nintendo Labo launches on April 20 with two kits: the Variety Kit ($70US) and the Robot Kit ($80US). With the Variety Kit, you can create many different Toy-Con, including two Toy-Con RC Cars, a Toy-Con Fishing Rod, a Toy-Con House, a Toy-Con Motorbike and a Toy-Con Piano. With the Robot Kit, you can build an interactive robot suit with a visor, backpack and straps for your hands and feet, which you can then wear to assume control of a giant in-game robot. Both kits include everything you need to assemble your Toy-Con creations, including the building materials and relevant Nintendo Switch software.

A special Customization Set that includes stencils, stickers and colored tape will also be available to purchase on April 20 at a suggested retail price of $9.99.
