Nintendo Wants to Sell You $80 Cardboard

[Shawn Zipay]

Look at you with your fancy new Nintendo Switch. You think you got it all, don't you? You got the Marios and the Peekachus and the Zeldos. But I know something you don't have. Yeah, that's right. You don't have the latest piece of cardboard from Nintendo.

Nintendo may call it Nintendo Labo, but I know what it really is. It's cardboard. You can't fool me, I see those serrated edges and distinct brown color.

Get ready to Make, Play and Discover with Nintendo Labo! Nintendo Labo is a new line of interactive build-and-play experiences that combine DIY creations with the magic of Nintendo Switch.

The starting price for these kits is $69.99 (USD), and that's for the Variety Kit. If you are just bleeding money, you can maybe also spring for the Robot Kit for $79.99. Both of these cardboard kits will be available on April 20th. Huh, Nintendo selling cardboard to people with a lot of spare cash on 4/20? My God... Nintendo are actual marketing geniuses!
