Oh yea the Labo? I wonder how much money they made off of that? Did anyone buy it?

Neh. They technically sold an idea and it happens all the time. I wouldn't buy it, but people have sold way more useless stuff. Maybe the bar is too low.

Never heard of it.
....Looks it up.
WTF is this shit!

Unless it was super cheap. Then I guess it's like a fun project or something.

Edit: Looks up prices.....Nope not particularly cheap.

I saw it on sale for $9 at walmart.com and was considering buying one. But the only one I would be interested in is the VR one. So I abstained.

That said, I don't think we're in the target age group for labo. It was clearly made mainly for kids. Also of course the argument "why's it so expensive, it's just cardboard!" is basically the same as "why is a game so expensive, it's just a few gigs of data on a cartridge!"

It's not just cardboard... It's a creative diy project that my children and I spent hours on. And it was so awesome to see it all come together in the end. I'm glad its made out of common everyday cardboard. Nintendo is saying anybody can make this. You have the power to create a robot, spider, piano or whatever. Except for my children that is. Those useless shits watched me as I slaved for hours like a clown playing with cardboard.then they played with it for 10 minutes and got bored and now I have a useless piece of $60 junk sitting in my living room

The problem isn't Nintendo. It's the consumers. It's you guys. If Nintendo pulled some EA or Blizzard level scandal bullshit you'd all probably accept it. So why the fuck wouldn't Nintendo sell this kind of bullshit if they can get away with it?

This is basically every shitty movie franchise that keeps making movies. Or Adam Sandler movies.

The concept seemed like a cute novelty, but the price and durability were a big issue.

I thought they also published the template for the labo pieces so people could make them at home, though? At least if you fuck it up little Perry and Piper can build a new one >_>
