Nintendo Labo
Nintendo announced Nintendo Labo today which looks to be a game that merges hobbyist DiY crafting and the Nintendo Switch. It's a really interesting concept and the trailer shows off some of the fun things you can do with Labo. Many people are jumping into the maker communities creating mini computers that do certain tasks and it seems like Labo is on the edge of that with some of the silly peripherals of the Wii era. Want to make a remote controlled device with your joy-cons that uses the rumble to move? Check. Want to build a cardboard fishing pole to catch something? Check. Want to build a full robot suit to fight other robots? Check.
I could see Labo going pretty...

Honestly this looks fun for adults to a point. I would have fun with this for about an hour. Not worth the price of entry for me. BUT it's something that a parent would have loads of fun with when building with a child, and it brings the makerspace mentality to a younger audience. It's fantastic!
