Labo goes agains the consencus that children's toys need to be somewhat durable to stand against theim for a good amount of time. Paper is not that durable.

Cardboard is also extremely cheap and replacable. You can make your own creations from nothing but boxes what you'd throw out for recycling. It is an innately brilliant idea. Children destroy things. Labo makes total sense and wouldn't work at all as an introduction to engineering if it was made of preset plastic. 

Who says cardboard cant make a great toy. my kids are still playing (not every day, but still) with the variety kit. This thing have been crushed, throwed, step on, bang on for months. and guest what, it's still working. when ever something break, i just take tape and glue and repair the damn thing in minutes.

the best shot for LABO is Nintendo actively partner with schools, fab labs, the makers community, etc, sell the kits to them., make a labo program. It will make kids experiment, and some might buy it too.

That will probably happen even if Nintendo doesn't promote it.

 

i can say at least here in canada that this holliday we began to see more labo ads on TV. also nintendo seems very eager to promote the switch to parents. their local ad campain show parents in various situation using a switch while hidding from their children, seeming to really enjoy the product for themselves and saying : we bought it for the kids !
