Ninty's Cardboard Box Of Tricks

- 

Ooh, you’re a card

A cynical Mario-hater might sneer that slapping a premium on cardboard is so very Nintendo, but we disagree: Labo is the Japanese giant returning to its toy-maker roots, and it’s brilliantly inventive. Each contraption (or ‘Toy-Con’) is assembled by following kid-friendly instructions on the Switch’s screen. With the Joy-Cons or console inserted, they spring to life and become tactile, digitally augmented toys.
