Nintendo Lobo is back with another kit to tinker with this is toy con 3 the vehicle kit it's coming out September but we got an early preview to check it out and I'm excited popping out pieces I'm a newbie to the lab Oh build-it-yourself world of cardboard accessories for the Nintendo switch but it was pretty easy to jump in and start building in under 10 minutes I figured out how to fold together the parts for my vehicle key which holds a joy con controller but if you do the whole set you're gonna be spending hours building a complex steering wheel with multiple levers and knobs a foot pedal joystick and whatever this is it's designed to be used for the included game insert the key and different cardboard contraptions and you switch from car to plane to submarine and complete missions in this open world adventure you also build a cardboard spray paint can to give your vehicle a custom design there are even stencils you hold up that use the controller's infrared camera the spray can actually sounds like it's break-in when you shake it so what about gameplay the open adventure world has various little quests filled with goofy Nintendo humor things get more entertaining when a friend jumps into the mix if you have extra joique on controllers one person can steer while another shoots off weapons forcing you to work like a team we only got to really play for about thirty minutes it all flew by so fast so it's hard to get a sense of depth to the quests there seem to be plenty of missions but I can tell you what I loved the most the punching cars weight fight the computer or find another friend with a LeBeau wheel and jump into battle mode there was a Super Smash Brothers vibe to it I was pulling cardboard levers to have these giant fists fly from my car knocking the other guy out of the arena while try to grab power-ups this was a real party game treat but what if I don't have a friend with our own vehicle kit wheel and pedal Nintendo opened up the possibility that you can make your own extra card war controllers using household objects the toy con garage section encourages users to tinker and make their own creations take for example another side game four players can race slot cars using foot pedal controls you do not want to buy for lab oak it's to get all your friends a cardboard pedal so instead just follow the included instructions on building extra pedals using a binder and some kitchen sponges I love to pleasantly surprised that how silly it all was I love crafts racing weird humor this was my jam the vehicle kit is available September 14th priced at $70 but I wonder how long all the construction tinkering and gameplay would keep me entertained and I would love to see other racing games be programmed to work with this steering system so it doesn't become useless when you beat the main adventure game Nintendo you left me curious and wanting more
