It’s a toy, not a video game.

And that’s the “made for kids” part you aren’t getting - it’s like getting a doll house and trying to say that there’s really nothing there for videogame fans, but your daughter can sit there for hours and make up stories with it... (most) adults, we can’t do that anymore, not in any enjoyable capacity.

The price of admission is likely something Nintendo researched when they saw other similar cardboard products selling for huge amount of money (like the Minecraft stuff). While the initial shipment didn’t sell our right away, people are buying it at a fairly steady rate.

Granted it's a small sample size of only 2, but my little nephews should be all over this in theory, but they got bored with it very very quickly. And some of the constructing is simply too complicated for kids 8 or under, which is really the only demo that might get something out of the games.
