When I was 12 or 13, I built a very complicated 3D puzzle of a ship, on my own, without instructions. I don't think we are giving kids enough credit here. Obviously a 6 year old might need help from their parents but a 10 year old could easily build this themselves since there's actual video instructions. Not every kid is glued to an iPad. There are kids who love science and engineering and making stuff and being creative. That's who this is for. I'm kind of surprised that there's so much hate for Nintendo Labo. Somehow, I feel as though it's just because this wasn't an Animal Crossing announcement and nothing else could have been good enough to have been announced instead of that. I, for one, know that I would have absolutely LOVED this as a kid, and I was the kind of kid who took really good care of my things. Kids aren't all mindless brats, lol. So I'm glad Nintendo thought this up, because it shows that they aren't underestimating children and they are choosing to challenge their creativity.
That being said, I do have some concerns with how well it actually works. If this works 100% perfectly, I think it will be a hit, even for the price. If it's glitchy or the games aren't too fun, then it needs a price drop so that people can still enjoy building and customising the things, without caring for the actual software. Either way, I like this idea and I'm curious where this goes.
