I actually have a really good feeling about this.
I mean, I wouldn't buy it myself, but as a kid I would have loved it, and it really has that blue ocean vibe I haven't gotten from Nintendo since 2009.
The fact that it's more hands-on and gets kids building and creating rather than just tapping a tablet screen all day will also be a big plus in the eyes of a lot of parents. In addition, it could really take off with STEM clubs and the like, the same kids (and even adults) who like making lego machines, mini robots, and other such stuff.
The user generated content people create from this will be insane as well, and much of it will go viral online and help push the Labo as a cool and trendy new thing.
If Nintendo play their cards right I can see this being the next Skylanders/Wii Fit. Looks like the Switch maybe have a system seller for Q1-2 after all.
