Nintendo announced its first post-release Labo Kit in July 2018, which was released worldwide on September 14, 2018. The Vehicle Kit includes the cardboard parts to make three steering consoles, one for a car, one for a plane, and one for a submarine, each with a slot for a "key" that is built around a Toy-Con. The associated game allows players to control cars, planes, and submarines in game, switching between these modes by moving their Toy-Con key between units, and supports cooperative play with a second person using another Toy-Con. [18] The kit also includes cutouts for a pedal Toy-Con to power each of the vehicles, two key Toy-Con, a spray can Toy-Con, and a stand for the console to sit atop the car Toy-Con. Included with the spray can Toy-Con are several "extra parts" made to aid in the Paint Studio, the mode made for it.

It's a shame that the core game experience itself seems to be quite shallow. That is definitely reminiscent of the Wii days to me. The issue was not that the controls didn't work, or even, that they were not an improvement at times, but rather that the content itself amounted to little more than a tech demo. In Japan, the Variety Kit sold 90,410 copies within the first week, placing it first on the all-format sales chart. The Robot Kit sold 28,629 copies, placing it third, and the Vehicle Kit has sold 49,389 copies as of December 2018. [59] [60] As of March 2019, the Variety Kit has sold 330,000 units in Japan, and 1.09 million worldwide. [61] As of 2018, all kits consolidated have sold 1.39 million units worldwide. [62] The 2020 CESA Games White Papers revealed that the Variety Kit has sold 1.31 million units, as of December 2019. [63] Awards [ edit ] Year McWhertor, Michael (January 17, 2018).

Each Labo kit comes with a set of modular cardboard sheets, specifically designed to interact with the Switch and the Joy-Con controllers. Construct your chosen accessory, such as motorbike handlebars or a fishing rod, into what Nintendo aptly calls a “Toy-Con” and plug your console and controllers into the designated areas.
