One rather ingenious individual has uploaded a video onto NicoNico Douga showcasing how he made an imitation of Nintendo’s glorified $80 cardboard, an act that will likely encourage others to do the same to save some cash, if not just to spite the money-grubbing company.
The cabinet-style cardboard construction was meant to be used with arcade classics such as Street Fighter, as demonstrated by the indentation for the joycon controller – the video, using the soundtrack of a long dead franchise in the background:
Whatever his intent, arrest for copyright infringement at Nintendo’s behest likely looms in his near future.
You confuse Nintendo with SOny, they are the money grupping piece of s♥♥t company. While I agree this is weird (even for Nintendo) it’s still more original than anything SOny has done in years. With Nintendo they try new things to keep the industry fresh…with the SOny GAYstation they can’t come up with new ideas to save their lives…
Its fucking cardboard, Of course you can make it for less than $80.
Not the same… Labo isn’t just plain cardboard.
This is what we have been reduced to. Thank you Nintendo.
I still dont get how the cardboard works with the game. Or is it just superficial like building the Lego Dimensions portal?
It uses motion control and the IR camera in the left controller in combination with reflective tape on some parts to see and sense motion.
