Nintendo’s glorified high-cost cardboard, the Nintendo Labo, has somehow managed to impress Time Magazine, who have included the “invention” as part of their “Best Inventions of 2018” listing – a decision that will no doubt instigate an incendiary debate.
The official description accompanying the Nintendo Labo entry on Time Magazine’s website:
Helping Gamers Create Their Own Fun
Nintendo LaboUsually with video games, all the fun happens on the players’ screens. Not so with Nintendo Labo ($60 and up), a set of kits allowing DIY-inclined gamers to construct their own cardboard controllers for the company’s grab-and-go Switch console. Called Toy-Cons, the Labo controllers range from a 13-key piano to a robot suit to a steering wheel. Once built and joined with a standard Switch controller, Toy-Cons can be used for a variety of minigames, like fishing or racing. Nintendo producer Kouichi Kawamoto says the aim was to “combine physical and digital game play.” While build-and-play toys that connect to electronics aren’t new, Labo is unique in the video-gaming world, where controllers are typically store-bought and rarely fun in their own right. The conceit has clearly struck a chord with consumers: Nintendo has sold more than 1.39 million Labo kits since its April 2018 launch. —Megan McCluskey
The list puts the game device on the same level as various inventions designed to aid disabled or impaired individuals – reactions to this odd development have been mixed:
Time Magazine used to be highly regarded as good. But in recent years… they’ve gone full sjw and the result is this s♥♥t. Same as New York Times. Both have gone to s♥♥t over the years.
News flash, Jew York Times always pushes Jew agenda and inane s♥♥t. Time Magazine is obviously no different.
It’s well known that shitendo pays off fake journalists and fake reviewers to talk good about their dogshit products. People that read time magazine are literal mouth-breathing primates
So, do you think Nintendo just bought placement in the article, or was the whole article paid for by them?
You saw Nutaku paid article in this site? Nintendo ain’t that different
time is a gossip rag. they thought JIBO was amazing #1 awsome gadget. JIBO just recently closed for business because it was a total disaster that failed to make them any money. they are a MAGAZINE in 2018. A MAGAZINE. who fucking reads those nowadays?
Old people that can’t figure out how to unsubscribe?
I always find that if you stop sending money, you stop getting stuff.
These processes can be automated, so they take money from your bank account. In some cases it’s easier to just close the bank account then to deal with quitting the subscription.
I love how that people defend his cardblard to the death
btw the post image is very cute
Nintendo should have used some sort of recyclable plastic if they wanted to be eco friendly instead of cardboard for longevity. The Labo card simply won’t stand the test of time, it won’t be something you can pull out of the closet five years from now.
That’s the whole reason, “longevity”, they want people rebuying these stuff in the first place
