If Nintendo had the third party support of PlayStation and Xbox, then we wouldn't have this discussion. Labo would just be a silly little thing for kids. Its just that Nintendo doesn't have that support and Labo is their big game for Q2 along with Mario Tennis.

I don't see Labo as a great addition to a growing diverse library of games on the Switch. I see it as a reason for gamers who might be interested in Nintendo consoles to point at and say "Yeah, theres a good reason as to why I avoid Nintendo consoles. Its just not for me. Its for kids."

Like Wii Sports was insanely popular for a bit. It drew in soccer moms and grandparents, but that was all it did. Maybe a few of them picked up Mario Kart and NSMBWii as well, but that's just it. It doesn't help anyone in the long run. Grandma is not going "That was a fun game of bowling, dear. Now lets tear up some ass in Doom!"

These kinda games doesn't draw in as many people as they put off I believe.

If you dont like Labo than maybe play one of the other 600+ games currently on the system.

Anybody who would let a single kid/casual game prevent them from buying a system they were interested in has some serious growing up to do.

What does that have to do with anything? Who cares if Wii Sports didnt cause people to want to play Doom? What kind of nonsense argument is that?

Why is it seen as a bad thing to want to appeal to as many demographics as possible? Why would anybody want the entire gaming market to just be 13-35 year old males?

That's always the argument. Its just one game. Its just two games. Its just a few games. Yeah, well they matter to a lot of people. 

What am I going to say "Oh, theres 600 games on the system?! My apologies, sir. Ill start right away" 

Its about the image of the system. Labo is heavily promoted. You know a few games on the Eshop if you watched a random Nintendo Direct that was announced 12 hours before it started and ran from 6pm to 6.13pm. Then you might know a couple of them. 

Ive played most of the big new games...and some older ports. And I'm starting to feel the good old drought once again. Many gamers do. Just because you enjoy all 600 games on the Switch doesn't mean everyone else do.
