what is a labo
Nintendo made a major announcement on Wednesday night when it introduced Labo. Nintendo Labo is a set of two dozen cardboard sheets that can be transformed into various do-it-yourself contraptions, like the miniature piano seen above. Labo is a brilliant and logical move for Nintendo, a 128-year-old company with a long history of making toys. Nintendo surprised the world once again this week. The Japanese gaming powerhouse announced a new product with a strange name: Nintendo Labo. Stranger than the name, however, is the product itself: a cardboard construction kit for building gaming peripherals. A what? It's worth explaining up front what you actually do with Labo.
