Everyone is saying this is only for kids but honestly the robot game looks cooler to me than a lot of games coming to the Switch already .... It kind of reminds me of Lego. Lego is "for kids" but my uncle built Star Wars legos all the time as an adult. He didn't even stop until he had a kid ironically. I don't think this will have the exact same crossover appeal that Legos have, certainly the adult ratio will be smaller compared to Lego's. But still I can imagine some people building and buying these as adults, as long as they have enough application.

Heck, I'm 29 and that Labo robot game might be the only Switch game I purchase in the first half of this year.

I don't even care if the games are complete garbage and I never play them, I am kind of just interested in making the kits and seeing how all the bells and whistles work on it. You know all the inner workings of the string, rubber bands, metalic tape, ect.

If I had kids, I would buy this stuff instantly and use it as a great bonding/building/learning lesson with them. Just think of you as a kid or other kids. They love pretending theya re doing what their dad is doing. They have pretend lawn mowers as their dad mows. They want to use a hammer and hit nails when building things, ect. Kids would love doing this with their parents.

Also think of the common joke with younger kids. They are more interested in the cardboard box the toy came in than the actual toy. Kids constantly make forts out of cardboard, use cardboard tubes as swords, ect. 

If their toy breaks, they might actually enjoy the act of rebuilding it more than the actual game it is used for. 

Like I said myself. I'm more interested in building it and seeing how it works over the actual games.
