Who cares?! It’s not like the Switch was having problems selling.

True. Its just a bit confusing. Nintendo seemed to work hard on getting rid of the kiddy image. With their commercials featuring young adults. Them asking third party developers for more mature games. The sleek design of the Switch.
Its just weird that they would draw attention to this game of all games.

Nintendo said that in 2018. they will expanding Switch apeling to other parts of market, this obviusly expanding Switch to kids market.
Nintendo wants that Switch appeal to everyone, Nintendo fans, core gamers, kids, casuals, females...we will have this Lobo but Metroid Prime 4 in same time or some hard core 3rd party games like Dark Souls for instance.

I am beginning to think 2017 Nintendo was the anomaly. I don't think this will be a hit. |
Yes. Exactly this. They now will go on in old nintendo Manier. God i hate that. Please be NORMAL Nintendo. Normal!!! Take that time you invested in that stupid cardboxes and make a great Normal game for normal people and normal ways to play.

This is quite strange post beacuse this is normal Nintendo, Nintendo that wants to apela to evrewhnone on market, Nintendo fans, core gamers, kids, casuals, females... So you will have casual and kids games like this but you will also have core games also, like we saw until now.

After thinking about, it is a bad idea on its own, but if Nintendo markets it aggressively it will also succeed in harming the Switch's image. |

I think it's a pretty neat concept for kids. I love DIY toys when I was a kid, and this cardboard + tech combination is intriguing. But the prices are really prohibitive. If they manage to sell it at that price, I'd pretty surprised.
|
My guess would be that they are testing a price point here. See if it sells. If not, then drop the price during the holidays. If so, then more profits for Ninty.
|
Even for $350 bundle with Lobo, it would be quite popular.

Nintendo not doing well with the price points...... they should have sold them individually for like $10 - 15. That was the problem with Mario RUN and 1 2 Switch.
If they only sold each level/world separately on Mario RUN, and each game on 1 2 Switch, I think it would have been more interesting. |
But 1, 2 Switch is selling/sold pretty good despite its price point, this will probably be quite popular and it will have very good sales.

I don't know to which person nintendo wants to sell this. Maybe 5% of all switch owners have kids in the age of 6-12, so from 15 million owners, 750.000 are in that category. How many of them want to spend 70-80$ on cheap cardboards? 5% 10%? so 75.000 potential sales. The switch is way to expensive for parents to buy it for the kids in the targeted age group. 400$ is to much money even as a Christmas present. |
Thats quite generalizing, this will be quite popular among kids and parents in any case.

I like the concept actually, although (logistical nightmares aside) I think a design tool for this would be really neat.
What I fail to grasp is how this is supposed to extend their reach. I son't think any parent is going to buy a Switch just to get their kids a Labo. I can see parents that have already bought their kids a switch buying into this because it looks creative and fun and like a project to do toghether that is less stereotypically video gamey, but buying the console specifically for this? I don't see it... |
Well people were buying Wii just for Wii Sports, or Wii Fit or Wii Fit music, it not hard to see that Nintendo Labo will push plenty of people to buy Switch for their kids.
