The Nintendo Labo is a truly out of the left field… thing? I am not quite sure what word to use for it, to be honest. But yes, it is far different than anything else we have ever gotten. And while Nintendo did make a compelling case for it, and for why you should be interested in it, yesterday, you may still be of the “seeing is believing” mentality.
In which case, you’ll be happy to know that there will be multiple Nintendo Labo hands on events happening around the world- including in London. The Labo will be on display between February 14 and February 17 in South Kensington, London. You can register your interest here, but remember, you have until only February 1 to do so.
Going hands on with these cardboard toys that whimsically utilize and leverage the Switch hardware may truly be one of the only ways for you to know whether or not Nintendo has something you are interested in- I know for me, going hands on with a product really is the best way for me to tell what I will feel about it in the long run.
