Nintendo Labo: My 9-year-old's verdict

2018-02-16
so Nintendo has this new construction kit that came out Nintendo lab oh and it's gonna be this cardboard construction idea for the switch and we got to play it before anyone else and what did you I know what I think what did you think about it well I gotta say that the building is really fun and get to you play it is like awesome what do you like the most because we built about we worked on it for like two hours I think and we built and we played and it's meant to be like parent-child where we get to work together what was really awesome about it what did you what do you remember the most Wow the robot was really cool so what was that like you you put on the put on these backpacks mm-hmm and we put these things on our feet and hands and we could move in the air and we were doing this crazy punching and stepping and kicking and with this visor that brought us in to look like a first-person visor mode and I'm like yeah not actually checking stepping stepping right not actually kicking stepping and it was his backpack like you tighten the straps and you did it yeah would you I mean is that was that your favorite thing or your favorite experience or was it I think my favorite was a fishing fishing game yeah that was great when they're reeling in it actually looked right so I get after it looked like it was going into the screen yeah that was incredible that the rook that the fishing rod was going into the screen yeah that was something we were like I remember I was trying to get you to walk away for a man you still wanted to keep playing it almost felt like like a arcade game like Dave & Buster's I mean you were we were holding the fishing rod it's a game where you have to like weigh a lot so what should you do all your waiting have a snack oh well I figure might bite any moment it's true it's like real fishing has like real fishing and you have to be really patient so you also got to play the motorcycle game there was this crazy interactive house yes I love that like there was this thing it was kind of like Mario where you're in this no Mario there's like this game and then I played where it was I guess other than game and I played on the Wii U where you're on a minecart near would jump over the thing they were like bombs in the after I jump over the bombs collect the green emeralds and that's what it felt like to you yeah like you're looking through the window and doing stuff yeah it was really fun yeah different things you you attach like a faucet you would turn it and then like the house and start filling up with water yes there was a button that you like could pop things any I was interacting yeah there was the piano which was a oh yeah working yeah weird piano actually made sounds that was crazy mm-hmm there's a gold toy piano with different sound effects when you plug little pieces in and we also did the RC cars yeah controlling them was fun you were like bebop and they went and there was a setting on them that we're like they could like follow your hand like oh yeah follow your hands like yes there it also follow like infrared stickers yeah that was pretty amazing so they ended up the infrared camera in those controllers you're gonna be pretty key for a lot of things in Nintendo labo where there it was it was enabled said it could follow your hand body heat he could follow reflective stickers and then Nintendo said that the the piano worked like that too they opened it up and showed reflective stickers yeah that the infrared camera was reading and that was how it was reading the musical notes oh yeah and the robot wars like that - yeah the robot that's that's where like the things pulls like little magnets in the backpack that sorry little cords and like weights and the infrared sensed it when it went high enough and it made the robot on the screen punch so here's the question would you would you definitely want one of those kits of course would you buy one of those kits if you didn't save up your money for yes would you if you didn't have a switch would you want to get a switch just to get one of those kits or only if you had a switch because it's like $300 plus of course maybe a parent's game this for you but it's a curious yeah well if I were to get a switch it wouldn't be just for a Nintendo lab oh it would also be for other games for those other things but that's like a Queen's a great bonus if you also had that mm-hmm do you think you get competitive with people I think would you want to like take turns or like be like hey I want to try that now or do you feel like it's really good it was a fun for us to work on it together yeah it was really fun it was cool we did for like I was really bad at the you were good at the car I mean how were the instructions like how putting it together did you feel like it was pretty easy to do I felt like it was like normal yes hmm I felt like it was just like normal just folding out paper yeah since they do a lot of origami and minecraft papercraft for instance it was a long as long as yeah kind of like minecraft papercraft or origami was it bit like Lego in terms of the instructions kind of a little bit yeah I like the instructions I thought they were like pretty easy to read any problems with that they're really good instructions yeah they were good um are you curious about the programming like yeah that stuff they said at the end about how you can customize and do these extra things yes I think really like to connects and stuff like let's say the piano did you watch to use the RC car to make the piano work with the RC car yeah like you press the end key and it makes the left one move vibrate and you press the right key the rightmost key and it makes the right one move and you press them at the same time and it moves forward that'd be cool really musical RC car yeah like it would make sound at the same time too I like that what do you think what do you most want to see oh yeah what if you could drive the car with the fishing rod how'd that even work like reeling it to make it go forward to do that or who knows yeah reeling it to make the left on vibrate reeling it up to make the left or vibrate reeling it down to make the right on vibrate and then keeping it still to make them go forward what if you go fishing for RC cars Oh like the RC cars are moving by and you're like trying to fish for them like they're moving around and then you're like let them moves closer to you oh I mean if you reel it then they move closer reel it in reel it out they move closer but when you reel it in they drive away so if they're like right there and they're gonna get tangled then you reel it in coz they can't move away so you do some programming like scratch and a lot of other things so like you you really want to see this be like totally customizable yeah it would be really interesting and what like so there are a couple of things all right now and the in the in the kit are there things that you want to make that aren't in the kit yet that you want to see next like what your Nintendo be making next to it maybe like a bow and arrow when you pull it back it like sense it maybe would have like an infrared sensor like over here and when you pull back it senses the infrared and on the screen it creates an arrow and then you shoot the arrow and tries to hit moving targets that's a good idea mm-hmm but that in the next version that's aggressive I want to get my line mm-hmm well that's like I mean if you have questions about Nintendo labo we played it's coming out April 20th and like what else do you want it what else did you want to do with it that we didn't get a chance to do we only get so much I would have I would have tried to cast a shark in the fishing game although that would have been like really really hard because it sharks so lowdown and you guys like mm-hmm you guys are like really didn't speed of light any bike yeah alright well hopefully answer some questions yeah talk soon once we're able to review it
