Labo Labo LABO!

[A Black Falcon]

So the Labo sounds pretty neat, and it should be great for kids. I do have two questions, though.

First, will the games be any fun for adults, or not? How fun and challenging will they be? How complex a game can you make that relies on a cardboard controller, because that is a definite limitation? Etc.

And second, the subject of playing these games in the future. While Nintendo is going to release the plans for how to make these things, if someone wants to play the Labo games in twenty years it could be tough. Most of the original ones will surely end up in the trash or recycling eventually, and it would be hard to get all of the exactly right kinds of cardboard, reflective tape, etc. that Labo builds require, to say nothing of folding them as required in all the right places, etc. By making the controllers out of cardboard Nintendo avoids the 'closet full of plastic stuff' problem, but the create a 'how will people in the future ever experience this?' problem which is unfortunate.

Still, for the most part I do think that the Labo sounds great.
