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

* AlwaysABiggerFish: In the Fishing game, fish attached to your fishing rod can be used as bait to lure even larger fish.

** 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 ''VideoGame/GameAndWatch'' game, 'ball', in it.

* DesignItYourselfEquipment: Players are encouraged to decorate their Toy-Con however they see fit, with officially made Customization Kits available for purchase as well.

%%* AntiFrustrationFeatures: As soon as it was unveiled, complaints arose on the internet that children would naturally tear right through the cardboard within an hour, or that [=3D=] printers would shortly become gold mines for people to craft their own without touching the kits. Nintendo soon said that replacement patterns would be available online free of charge to let buyers use their own materials, and that buying the kits was not mandatory -- only purchasing the games is.

''Nintendo Labo'', released on April 20, combines software playing in the Switch with props which are physically built from patterns embedded in cardboard sheets.

* WidgetSeries: It's safe to say that only Nintendo could have come up with a franchise such as this. In addition to the kits above, among the Toy-Cons demonstrated in the trailer that don't yet have an announced game include a white bird, a camera, something that could be a gun, and humanoid figures.
