History VideoGame / NintendoLabo

On January 18, 2018, Creator/{{Nintendo}} sent a message out to their fans to prepare for "a new way to play" aimed for "kids and kids at heart". Later that same day, they lifted the veil on their newest entertainment project -- ''Nintendo Labo'', a franchise aimed at marrying the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch hardware with the creative freedom and imagination that comes from [[KidsPreferBoxes cardboard]].

* MythologyGag: One of the videos in the VR Kit is a video showing gameplay of ''Mario's Tennis'' on the UsefulNotes/VirtualBoy.

* WidgetSeries: It's safe to say that only Nintendo could have come up with a franchise such as this. The various Toy-Con run the gamut from functional to silly.

* HauntedHouse: Send the creature in the House to bed, continue to watch him, and [[https://youtu.be/oRZxOwaVH3s some surprisingly creepy things]] start to happen...

* ''LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf VR'' -- Released September 5, 2019 and is compatible with the VR Kit.

* NonindicativeName: The "RC cars" look more like some sort of [[BigCreepyCrawlies giant insect]] in their bare state, and the trailer and Discover segments of the RC Car shows them decorated to resemble animals such as elephants and cats.

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: The "fish" you create in the Aquarium using the Piano are simple, cartoony fish versus the photorealistic species that inhabit the ocean by default.

The game's built-in game-making software, known as "Labo Garage", was spun-off into a fully-fleshed out product called ''VideoGame/GameBuilderGarage''.

** Given that the ''labo garage'' is basically a programming system in and of itself, people are already starting to come up with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0MtrXgvbt4 their own games and other such things]] involving it, with one player managing to recreate the first ''UsefulNotes/GameAndWatch'' game, ''Ball'', in it.

* CordonBleughChef: You can mix some rather outrageous things together in the House game's microwave room, resulting in a cupcake that contains things like an egg, a sardine, or a bar of soap as the decoration.

* The Labo's Garage Mode is basically a Programming tool that requires a lot of thought and planning. That said, [[http://digg.com/2018/nintendo-labo-custom-creations-songs-games it's surprisingly versatile,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0MtrXgvbt4 and many a person has made great things with it]] (including [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ygxnQdkl7g recreations of]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sumbqlZzDY0 Game And Watch games]]).
