Is there a Labo "game" that just allows you to program with it? I'd kind of like to come up with my own contraptions tbh

Not known at this point in time, a representative in the netherlands did confirm they were thinking about multiple options to further enhance this. Imo that will also depend on how well it actually does saleswise, but this feels like the old lego technix and knex etc. I really hope they will allow the game to be open source to do things like you suggest but afaik thats not in the current implementation.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Going with the consensus and saying none of them, however I'm rooting for the product to do well.

Actually, Toy-Con Garage is included in the software. That's exactly what it is.

It got released recently.  To be honest, once I know I'm going to get a game (or watch a movie) I go dark, so I hadn't watched the video yet, but knew of its existence.  I still only watched the first 30 seconds to make sure it was what you guys were referring to, but I didn't want to spoil the rest.  In a nutshell, many of the complaints people are leveling at this software, Nintendo seems to have been aware of beforehand and made sure to create a robust platform for experimenting and playing.  If the product seems so well put together now, I can't imagine what it will look like after a year (depending on its initial success.)

I cant get my head around this. If it's a sucess it's proof people will buy anything with the Nintendo logo in it.
It's cardboard. Why does it cost 70/80$? Why don't you buy a game instead? >.< This tires me.

Why do people buy books? It's just paper and a bit of ink. You see cardboard, others see a very basic 3D printer with game creation tools or a bunch of $10  minigames/toys.

OT- If Toy Con Garage allows for a more official version of Bottleflip, I'll get the variety pack.

It would be if book sales weren't rapidly moving away from bits of paper to bits of data.

Trust me, people still buy books.  There are a lot of people in this world who value tactile things.  It's part of the joy of Labo, that you can build.  You can have a rewarding, creative, physical experience.  I have access to books online, but there's something grounding about holding the book, feeling the paper, and connecting with the world as we've known it for thousands of years.  It's great to see gaming working in a direction that will give it a connection with the past.
