Labo is a huge ripoff and a waste of a great concept (so far)

Well, if there is a silver lining, maybe it's that Nintendo will finally... FINALLY just give up on casuals and become the company they were in their glory days. Just make bad ass core IP like BOTW etc. and stick to it.

Their glory days?

Are you talking about the NES/GB era when they bundled a toy gun/robot and a casual puzzle game?

Or maybe the DS/Wii when a pet simulator, motion control minigames and education/fitness titles were the biggest system sellers?

 

Kinda interesting that their 2 best selling handhelds and 2 best selling consoles had a very strong kid/family/casual fanbase.

Let's not acknowledge the fact that the sole purpose of that robot was to even get the NES onto retailer shelves in the first place.  R.O.B. was never supposed to catch fire with casual gamers.  They only created 2 games for R.O.B in the first place, because it had one purpose and one purpose only.  Get a video game system into the US market after the North American Video Game Crash when retailers wanted nothing to do with video games.
