Nintendo Labo: Is it bad?

 Welcome to the moment of truth where Cardboard is the future. This is not entirely true but Nintendo seems to believe so and here is why. Nintendo has always been a company of surprises so when they announced Nintendo Labo, there was a shock of why they would make such a thing. The reason being is that Labo is not like other games, in fact it uses one important in order for it to be playable and that one thing is Cardboard. What makes Cardboard so fun to play with? and why would Nintendo do this? The answer is really simple and the motto the game states is "Make, Play, Discover" which has a simple meaning that I will break down in a bit. What makes it so interesting is the entire concept revolves around Cardboard and while it may not look the greatest in the block, it is the coolest thing around when you see what a thing of cardboard and technology can do. There is a variety of things to do in Labo that will be broken down into sections and all the cool features that can be done as well.

 First off, let us talk of price and what the box includes for Nintendo Labo. The game and the Variety pack, which includes an RC car, Fishing pole, Motorcycle, House, and a Piano, comes off at a bit of a high price that starts at $69.99. It is a bit steep when you consider that all you are buying is Cardboard and a cartridge however let it be known that you are building these items. The first motto, of course, is "Make" so you make your items and the game does really well in assisting you. It provides video tutorials that are a step-by-step process that even a young child could follow. The user gets to control how fast or slow the building process is. Now, please note that it is Cardboard so it does not allow for much error to be involved as it may tear or fall apart if not done correctly. Once you have created your build, it is off to the next part.

 The Play concept of the builds that you create are very awesome in itself and here is why. The very first build that the game recommends is the RC Car which utilizes the controllers vibrations functions to move the car and it averages at 10 minutes to build it. It is pretty enjoyable to play the RC car because literally the way it moves is from the Vibrating function of the RC car and it is pretty cool to mess with. There is also the piano which is my favorite because it uses the controller and from the IR blaster the controller has, it reads when a key is pressed and then produces the sound from the switch. There is so much to do in the variety pack that makes the playing ability interesting and fun. Now, if you thought that those are pretty cool, there is more from the discovery section which it pretty amazing.

 Lastly, we get to the Discovery part of the game and there is a bunch of detail to go over for this section. This is one of those sections that are for really tech-savvy people who want to explore the games functions. By this, I am referring to Inputs and Outputs that allow the program to do the actions provided. A simpler way of explaining this is by using terms known as "If" and "Then". For example, If controller one is on" "Then vibration functions triggers continuously". It is one of those things that make people learn how things work and how functions allow devices to do what it is told. I will say that Labo is very interesting but the main thing is if it is bad to own and that will be in my closure.

 There were several things that we went over in Nintendo's game Labo and let us recap. First, we have the "Make" process where Users build their creations and learn how to create items from cardboard. Next, we have the "Play" process which allows one to use their creations and enjoy the part of Labo that makes it, well, Labo. Lastly, we have the "Discover" part which lets you dig into the mechanics of the device that shows Input and Output of the game and now begs the question which is simple, "Is Nintendo Labo Bad?" and "Is it worth the money?" and in my personal opinion, I am going to say that it is not bad and that it is worth more than what people believe it to be and here is why. The thing that I would compare Labo to, which is nowhere near the same but is a good example, is Lego as you do not buy Lego sets to buy them, you buy and build the creations that Lego offers and the time spent makes it all worth it. Labo is similar in this concept as some of the builds take up to 30-40 minutes and if you purchase the Robo-kit, believe me it will take more time than the average 15-25 minute builds. If you are a parent or experience child builder than I highly recommend it as the time spent is very well worth it.
