Once
We have questions about the longevity of the games you can play
Resolution is shocking (360p)
Some of the games are just too basic

Where do you store all those large cardboard things later on
Card can get battered

Abstract: For the last few years, it's seemed like every major tech and gaming company has experimented with virtual reality to some degree, including Sony, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, HTC, Valve, and plenty more. Nintendo, meanwhile, has been conspicuously absent...

The Nintendo Labo Variety Kit is a solid introduction to the world of Switch-powered cardboard craftables. It may get a bit tedious and repetitive during its laborious building and simplistic play sessions, but the creative freedom it allows once you dig...

Abstract: There's a lot to unpack with the build-your-own-controller series of Nintendo Labo kits. Figuratively, the two boxed releases, dubbed Variety Kit and Robot Kit, include many opportunities to build, play, experiment, and learn, and that's worth exploring...

Building each Toy-Con is a relaxing and rewarding process, with each one building on the last (in the Variety Kit), Learning how everything works is presented as part of the fun, and that enriches the experience, Toy-Con Garage gives you more to do and cr

Incredible ToyCon Garage possibilities, Building instills a sense of pride and accomplishment, Perfect for creatives or young gamers, Fantastic showcase of unique tech

What Labo evokes for me, more than anything, is the Wii. When that console came out and you could fish and hula-hoop and do yoga with a pair of controllers and a place to stand, it blew my mind. Labo revives that feeling of “dang, that's nifty” by allowin...

The magic of Labo is in building of each of the complex cardboard toys. For an average adult, the building process can be tedious and mind-numbing, though never too challenging. But the building and playing experience with a child can take on an entirely...

Abstract: As a grown-up in his mid 30s, I am just about as far as you can get from Nintendo's target market for Labo. This is, for all intents and purposes, and exercise in imagination with your Nintendo Switch as the assistant.So instead of getting bogged down in...
