BeatEmUps man I love fishing you should go to a local lake and fish and I no you got one because you live in Texas
you didnt do the pose or tune up the band for sweet chin music... im HIGHLY disappointed lolol...
I’m a middle school computer science teacher. I really love the concept and would love to get a kit for my classroom. I think the idea is really cool but agree that it is not like a true video game.
BeatEmUps Hey!! Wanna know, ¿Do you have Retro City Rampage DX” ??
Labo = Laboratory so just start saying laboratory if you are unsure how to pronounce it.
I thought i was going to end up doing most of the building (which is fine because I love that kind of thing) but my 7 year old loves building this stuff! We are loving it! We finished the house today and we will work on the motorbike next!
Motor bike looks the coolest. Game and accessory
I think people way underestimate kids.
Vanessa Fairbanks i work retail....i think you over estimate kids.
You should ha e seen the stuff I made as a kid. I loved rc cars. So I made my own.
@@SkySoFew Because we care where you work? If you're going with your anecdotal evidence then you're exactly the person vanessa is describing
@@zacharywilliams9708 Why do you even bother replying to a comment a year after it was posted? I honestly have no idea what this is about and I don't care enough to research it to remember.
And who is we? Does your dumbass think you're Venom?
@@SkySoFew Because pressing one button is too much for you? I mean you cared enough to reply back IMMEDIATELY. I'll reply today, tomorrow, or next year that's when I read it to point out your stupidity
I'm a pianist - Labo was an instant buy for the piano alone, and it was worth it for me. The rest was just icing on the cake!
Marzalien why, considering you're a pianist you probably know you could buy better for the same price or cheaper
Because it was fun to build a working piano out of cardboard, that's literally the whole point of it.
@@meem9309 i think she already has a piano they like if they are a pianist
Where you able to play well as a experienced pianist?
@Gucci Crimson 12*?
You forgot to mention the toy con garage! I think it's one of the coolest parts about the labo, and how you can make anything you want! Cool video though!👍
Tamsmit Sam can you make a triple A game with the garage?
Wowww probably not, but I've seen people recreate games from the game and watch, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone was able to make some sort of watered down fps game
I'm 37 and I bought the variety kit for myself cause I like putting things together plus it's another thing to add to my switch collection
Having fun with it?
BeatEmUps yes I am I like the way it has u take u time with it to to build it right as well it's worth the money plus I love your shirt and I've met shawn Michaels a few yrs ago hes a great guy
Jodie McClure nerd.
@@saiko_orou are mean some people like these things like building things bc I rly like making things if u dont have anything nice to say dont say it🤨
@@henrystreams3932 replying to a 2 years old comment...
Whatever grow up.
I love that these take time, patience, and effort to build. In a society of instant gratification some people think kids can’t handle that. They absolutely can, and they can excel at it. This is a great way to bring technology and things like problem solving and engineering together. For younger kids this is a great way for parents to work with their kids and teach these skills. At the end they are encouraged to customize them and make them their own, and they get play with them. Then Toy Con garage is a whole new world of possibility.
It’s also a nice touch Nintendo shows how the technology works in the discover area, cool for them to learn (and me).
Brian i thought that i was going to have to force my son to keep building or end up building it myself. Couldn't have been more wrong. He loves building! I am surprised and delighted. We totally underestimate kids today for sure
Janel Perkins that’s awesome! My kids surprise me all the time. Sometimes their too smart.
A lot of kids are very patient at building things, like Lego and Minecraft kids love these types of games to build their own creation and spend hours doing it, I did the same thing as a kid and my brother as well and he still does lego and minecraft hours on end creating stuff.
Agreed I’m 11 and have like over 1000 hours on Minecraft (since I was 5) heh 😑 and spen HOURS on bionicles and LEGO
Agreed people rlly underestimate kids
Agreed people rlly underestimate kids
I'm going to ask for the Variety kit for my sixteenth birthday next month. I've already come up with several ideas for Toy-con garage including a Labolele (Cardboard Ukulele) On Thursday we had career day at our school and one of the teachers did a session about the ukulele and I really enjoyed it. Later that day I was thinking about what I would do since I don't think I would be able to get both Labo and a ukulele for my birthday and I wanted Labo for my birthday so I could save my money for later this year and beyond. Later, it hit me that I could make a ukulele with Labo. This morning I found out how the frets work with changing the notes so now I have a plan for making a Labolele after I get Labo for my birthday, I'll just have to figure out how to program aaaallll those notes, that'll keep new busy!
Caitlin Lowery That’s amazing. That’s the exactly the point of Labo.
.
I’ve coded a miniano (like the piano) with I think 20 notes using our family’s piano on my iPad it starts off pretty tedious but ends up pretty fun
@IKEA needs to partner with Nintendo and get this type of software for all their furniture and such.
Jordan Kaufman I'm pretty sure guys at IKEA would say: Hey so we stole that instruction software idea from Nintendo, so let's finish the job and make all of our products from cardboard from now on.
They nearly do already ;-)
haha wait until nintendo sues them for cardbording rights (copyright reserved)= on top the toilet papper for 75 bux each ;D
@@JordanKaufman good one 😅😂
Very very good review. You were able to explain it very well and it allowed me to see the Labo in a different and more accurate way. It's a construction/builder set that interacts with your Switch. Great job Wood.
Keep up the great content man! I’ve stumbled upon ur channel when I bought the switch, and I always go to you before I check out a game, I feel like ur spot on! Again keep up the great work dude!
The Labo is currently on sale here in Australia and I wanted to see if it was worth it, I was concerned it would be too basic and boring. My 10yr old son loves building his own lego creations and finding out how things work and he wants to be a game designer, you have just convinced me this will be the perfect Christmas present for him with the building, seeing how things work and discovering eggs as well. 😊
0:35 but Australia doesn’t exist according to flat earthers
Uhh I'm pretty sure they never said anything like that, as gullible as they are.
AWESOME MONEY hahahahaha! The world is flat. Oh boy. What's next....
He’s right we don’t exist
Why is the earth flat? It was a stupid thing people believed centuries ago, but no other time in history and
these days we have satellites and global travelling to prove it is indeed round!.
Seriously, why are we having this stupid debate? It makes no sense.
Maybe the parents can help the kids, maybe that's the idea. I love building LABO with my 7 year old daughter and she loves the building as well. She only plays with them for a min after she is finished building. Then she's on to coloring and putting stickers on it.
CelestialNintendo Stokes after it's all built and colored what then?
I was amazed that my 7yo daughter was able to put the fishing rod together herself! She spent about 2.5 hours making it and for us, the fishing game is surprisingly replayable.
That’s exactly the idea.
I found that this was by far the best review I've seen so far. I think that is partially because A) you enjoy building things and b] because you took your time to make this review. Thank you.
By the way, if you haven’t bought it yet, Stardew Valley is an EXTREMELY fun game in the eShop for only 15$
HemaG that game was my worst mistake, it is too addictive! like drugs, i can't stop playing with it i putted doom on stop for a while, it look like it is more relaxing pick up eggs and cauliflower than smash demons' head!!!
26 loved building it, same reasons as you seeing how things worked and how much time they put into everything from the cardboard to the ideas to the presentation. not so much playing the games but i mainly bought for the garage software cant wait to see what the community can do
Wood Ive really gotten into your channel lately. You have a really fun personality and make all your videos interesting and appealing even if someone doesn't agree with you. Quite honestly I've thought about trying to make videos like yours but since I'm only 15 I don't nearly have the budget to buy all the new games :(
Loved the Shawn Michael's intro. Amazing.
I love Labo, (variety kit) I got it 2 days after it came out and I built the kits for 1 and half days straight and never played any other games else. I highly recommend that you get it even if your not a fan of building things.
I cant wait to get this myself. As also the target audience of a kid at heart who loved playing with puzzles and gadgets figuring out how they work seeing this stuff just gets me so excited.
I'm liking the Shawn Michael's reference in the beginning
Jay Christy Shawn Michaels* my friend
NAWAF22 P1 I thought I spelled it wrong 😂 I'll change that haha thank you
Jay Christy I am a sexy boy
Also I really love the idea of customizing the labo. One of my favorite artists on TH-cam Bailee Jae painted her Labo piano and themed it after Zelda Breath of the Wild and it looked EPIC!!! If I do end up getting one I definitely want to try customizing it
Fantastic explanation of this combination kit of high tech/low tech kits that Nintendo came up with. I agree with almost all you say about it. I got one variety pack, but haven’t yet tried it.
i LOVED that minute u talked about how these things are supposed to take a long time! thats what makes em fun! i buy giant paint-by-number paintings or all these dainty things that take HOURS because its just so satisfying to put on a podcast, or some gameplay while doing so. honestly, it'd be like saying u wish mario only had 5 levels
Dude, I put together knex roller coaster that had like 1500 pieces. I loved every minute!
Do Donkey Kong next, sexy boy.
Bought this for my kid for his birthday next week. This should be right up his alley. Look forward to giving my impressions and his thoughts when he starts building.
wow the first best impression video about Labo, thanks for your video
Great review! Thank you!
This was a great review thanks!
If I was a kid I would love this so much. I'm on the same boat you are with all these other games, work, college, etc. I don't have the time to build it and have fun with it.
Lol that intro was the best. I need that shirt now!
Your video definitely changed my mind about this game. I didn't quite understand and never really looked into it because I couldn't get past spending $80 on cardboard but I think you changed my mind because I love puzzles and building stuff like Ikea furniture.
You get the like for the retro HBK shirt alone! Great vid!
I love your enthusiasm, man.
My son absolutely loves his. Just finished his first kit completely. He got it for his birthday (we scored lots 1-3 for $60 all together.) making the motorbike as we speak so we can use them with the Mariokart 8 game. He’s been loving the games the Labo came with
Thank you for putting everything so clearly. I love the way you emphasized that it’s not a video game, and it’s more akin to legos or something. I think I’m just barely too old to enjoy this, maybe if the interactive part of it was something more interesting for me, or Nintendo went with Spawnwave’s approach with the onetime software that updates I would pick it up. Just right now I feel like there are other places I want to put my money.
I remember getting this when it first came out and spending a whole week building it with her it was one of my fondest memories of her and Nintendo labo will always hold a place in my heart
Love ur vids!
So detailed as always. I love it
Meccano is the metal construction set you're on about (or so I assume). We had it in the UK when I was younger, it was awesome!!!
@BeatEmUps 2:15 Talking about Meccano kits there? Used to play with those a lot as a kid myself!
We bought all 3.kits. my kid is 12 and he absolutely loves these. The VR set and the air, sea and Land game are amazing!
It’s really refreshing to see people actually praising Labo. I’m with you Wood! I had a fricken blast building this stuff!!
still on the fence about this "giant puzzle" lol the piano and the part where you can create your own music with it sorta makes me want to buy it. but your video did help like always.
Best review so far. I’m now more than ever intrested to buy this.
"Cut me some slack- I'm Australian" - me too! And I struggled with the same thing: pronunciation of 'labo' 🤪
"Only Nintendo can sell Cardboard for 70-80$"
"$80 for cardboard no thanks"
Well, you could get cardboard cheaper yourself.
Print out the templates yourself.
And cut them out yourself.
Since Labo sheets are bigger than normal printer paper, you need 4 paper sheet for each Labo sheet.
For the Variety pack (28 large sheets) you need to print, align, trace and cut 112 sheets.
Even more, if you count all the pieces.
And all the slits and holes.
Good luck with that.
Or just few seconds, to pop them out.
So you are NOT paying for cardboard. But for the work you DON'T have to do.
It’s a ridiculous complaint. It’s like getting pissy with hasbro more making monopoly and scrabble boards out of cardboard.
How u gunna get the game without buying the Labo set?
Wouldn’t it cost just as much?
Edwin Jackson
1. Wait don't you need the cartrage
2. Then why is my rainbow rare/ secret rare charzard Pokemon card worth 2000 dollers or something like that, in your eyes you could just print it out and say it's playble
When they say you’re paying 70 dollars, it’s not just the cardboard. $60 for the game, but the cardboard is $10.
You don’t need the software to build the toys if you already have instructions available, but you’ll need the software to....play the software.
This video helped a lot and also I was wondering how the building was if it was easy and how was the cardboard
Will you be doing a video on the Toy-Con Robot set at any point? That's the set I'm REALLY interested in...
Though I probably will end up buying the variety pack for my nephew and me.
Great video but yeah, would really like to see more about toy con garage and how to use it to create new stuff...
I enjoyed Lego back when I was 8 years old. I enjoy making things and understanding how things worked. Everything I built in Labo made sense to me! I loved the ToyCon Garage and I can’t wait to see what other ToyCons Nintendo will create!
bring on the videos baby, rake in that ad revenue. didn't even skip the ads. i loved the intro it was so cute!!! upload a video of you eating cereal.
A year later and its actually quite common to see it bundled up with the switch here/ I got my switch last week and labo came with it for free basically. Buying the switch without it didnt change the pricetag, it was just an added bonus. But the person had no idea it was bundled when I went to buy it (I knew from their online store), so its a good idea to check before you buy a switch
Nice job man!
LABO is not my thing, but this is really a great video. My coworker is contemplating buying a Switch for his kids. I mentioned this LABO product to him, and it intrigued him. Your video does a great job explaining the products potential. I’m definitely sharing this video with him so he can see what Nintendo can do. Thanks for the work you put into your videos.
Thanks for making this Video, question, if I but this labo, is the game included? or should I purchase the game separately? I am curious which game is fit for a specific labo, is the mae written already when buying LABO? thanks for taking time answering my question, God bless more power.,
The building is definitely the best thing about it. Love the fishing and studio mode. It is worth the money to me and loved every second of the building and playing. Not lamo for me.
Hey I might buy it for me n my kids to do I definitely wasn't going to but u have convinced me so thanks
i feel like this would be fun for a few days, the youd get board with it, set it off to the side, few days later you realised you rested you back pack on top of it, and its bent beyond use
Love the Shawn Michaels reference and shirt
I’m 26 and have the VR kit and vehicle kit. Both well worth the money, and I definitely enjoyed putting them together, learning how they work inside, and then using them on a game. Will I play the games forever? Probably not but it’s worth it and I’ll play for awhile.
I got this as an adult for my wife for the piano alone. That may sound stupid, but there's a game she's been playing/obsessed with for almost 10 years called Deemo. She's played it many times through on mobile, and she got extremely excited to see it on the switch. So then I bought the switch version of Deemo, which happens to come with an extra songbook made exclusively for the toycon piano and cannot be played without it (though it's just a small selection of songs with the actual notes).
Those toys with all the nuts and bolts and metal sheets with holes is Erector Sets, they were the best toys on the planet. Keep up all the good videos man, I always am looking to see when you have something new up and ready to go, and enjoy them all.
I completely agree I bought this for myself and loved building it and I think it's definitely for kid 9 and up as it does require a decent attention span. Also to give it credit as an 17 year old hoping and beginning to enter into the field of engineering I found the design and engineering aspect of this product is mind bogglingly intricate and it seems like a *ton* of hard and loving work went into the Nintendo brand cardboard I spent $70 on.
I love building things. If I can find it on sale Ill pick it up. Looks fun and awesome.
I miss HBK so much haha, love the song choice. Awesome videos
I'm tempted to buy the Variety Pack just for the Piano and Fishing Rod. But I also wanna make an Electric guitar in the Toy-Con garage. 😁
those metal bolt kits are called "Construx" in Canada. not sure about the land down under.
called meccano in the uk
HAPPY 400th VIDEO WOOD!
The building is the point! As you build it you wonder how it’s going to work, and when it’s done and you see it in action, it feels so much better because it makes sense and you got to see how each step actually made it work. I agree, kids prob shouldn’t sit down and do it on one shot. We did ours throughout days. And I think building it was the special part. The games are ok. Also, I’m about to start decorating it with my daughter and she is very excited about that part.
I bought LABO because this is just so crazy idea! Haven’t build all the stuff yet but was suprsised that the piano actually worked! 😁
Woah. I love building things, and I definitely want this.
lol im just now discovering this video and now mad I didnt record myself building the arcade nyko arcade for the switch! I did a Nintendo Switch OLED edition and just put a video up beating TMNT Shredders revenge bosses on it
@beatemups: I’m late to the party but the metal with screws you mention is called Meccano.
I want to pick both kits, but there are other games I haven't bought yet (like Zelda) which I need to buy first. I like to build stuff and the secret lab looks fun, so I'm not worried I'm going to like it.
I love this idea, wish I had something like this when I was a kid
It’s weird watching that Kinex ad on my phone that is on a stand that I made out of Kinex
I had lot's of fun building it and my 6 year old nephew has lot's of fun playing with it. It's a win win for us :)
Mechano? was the metal building kits?
OOH NEW DANCE IN END CARD ME LIKEY
Hey can someone tell me how many joy cons do you need for the robot cuz nobody has said yet
I've read that the new OLED isn't compatible with the Toy-con Piano. I'm curious to know why, when the piano will work even if you're holding the screen. Did they say that because of the fitment and visibility when docked on the piano? Or, you won't be able to run the Labo piano game in the OLED system at all? I'm curious because we're getting a Switch for our kid, I wanted the OLED but he wants the Labo's piano.
Wow! Whenever I saw this I thought "WTF??? Cardboard? 80 bucks???" but man, was I wrong. I don't have it and won't buy it, I'm 54 years old but after watching your video I'm really blown away by so much ingeniuity and all the possibilities in this kit. If I wasn't living alone, I would definitely get this for my kids or grand children! As a kid I spent lots of time with building stuff and wow, this Labo stuff is darn cool! Thanx for once again an awesome video, Wood!
I always imagined your floor to be carpet. Mind blown! :P
Awesome! My daughter would love it. Where is the robot gameplay tho? :p
I absolutely LOVE Labo! I built both the Variety Kit and the Robot Kit over one three or four day period. As you said, the most fun was in the building-watching my creation take shape over time. Once the building was done, the Variety Kit was way more fun to play with than the Robot, which seemed to be very limited game-wise. I particularly enjoyed the motor bike, not only the included tracks but also the ability to create my own tracks. I was a tad disappointed with how limited the choices were in Labo Garage, but that was probably because I had been hoping for a more robust visual coding environment-probably an unrealistic expectation.
I love too build as a kid. But you,re right for a kid its a lot of to built. But yeah its creative love you,re channel👍👍👍👍👍
I just wonder about one thing. Does it come with a cart, or how is the software accessed?
(Erector set) I got one for Christmas. P.S. merry Christmas
I Popped for that HBK intro tho 😂
I'm actually building this with my girlfriend, she likes creative stuff and I like tech and games.
This is sort of the perfect middle ground for the both of us.
I also thought it was sort of funny that the cardboard motorbike felt better than my racing wheel made of metal.
But yeah some of them are sort of games. Robot and Bike seems to have pretty much to do in their games.
You didn't mention the Garage part at all. I think that's the most important aspect of it, is creating your own interactive toy by programming inputs, conditions and outputs, which has a lot of potential for developing a kid's brain
Definitely agree with you woods. Part of the charm is the building aspect, then after you can just enjoying it. Really is magic how it's just literally cardboard. Nintendo showed creativity with one.💎
Like yourself I love building things.
I haven't picked up LABO as yet (In the middle of moving house) though the one thing that did cross my mind was why Nintendo released LABO, and the simplest answer for me is this. LABO is the new Wii Sports. As you pointed out each kit shows of different features of the Switch (Some of which we weren't aware of) much akin to how Wii Sports showed off the motion control on the Wii.
I really have been wanting to buy it, if anything I want the Robo Kit. :D
HEre's hoping they release a 2 player set.
Metal, nuts and bolts....Meccano? I had one of those. I had Lego, Duplo, loved building those wooden train sets or the plastic marble tracks (or even making them in the dirt at primary school, because dirt is free!).
Hmmmmm, might get it on sale. Only question i have is will there be anymore labos being made atm??
The kit you had as a kid was called Mecano and it ruled
