Nintendo does tend to do its best work when it’s seriously pressed and needs a ace in the hole IE the Wii on the heels of the heels of the GameCube fail or the Switch on the heels of the WiiU fail."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

With the Switch however, they seem to be moving back the other direction. The new Zelda has no hand holding at all, and not even a real tutorial. The new Mario starts off easy, but once you get a bit further the difficulty ramps up pretty fast. I can't wait for what they do with Metroid Prime 4.

What are they charging for these cardboard kits?
$70 for the Variety Pack, and $80 for the Robot Pack IIRC. The games alone are usually $60, so $10-20 for the cardboard and parts that go into building the accessories. They also have it set up where they will be giving out free replacements if it ends up breaking too easily. I'm guessing they have a limit on that.

Nintendo Labo gives you games for the Switch, and the cardboard needed to build the varying accessories for each individual minigame. Taking an idea much further than someone else is still creative. This is just the first set of accessories/games that we know about.
