Don't care for it myself. I could see potential charm in cardboard origami but I'm aiming to go digital more and more since it reduces clutter for me.

Never underestimate the power of toy channels!

Was labo expected to get high pre orders. It doesn't seem like the type of product to get high pre orders. It seems like something that would start slow and sell well around Christmas time.

LABO is probably THE most casual of casual games. It probably doesn't have much of an audience on the Switch atm but Nintendo i guess are going after other demographics. So, it will in itself bring its own audience to the Switch. This is just what Nintendo wants would be my guess. It's also an entirely new concept too, so tough to predict but i'm pretty sire games like LABO wouldn't have huge pre-orders but at the same time will be literally the epitome of "Legs".

Apparently Labo is by the team that created Miitopia & 1 2 Switch so I dont think Labo failing will result in anything other than the team going back to working on new quirky, casual concepts.

Can someone please tell me if you accidentaly wreck the cardboard or whatever can it be replaced on the cheap ?

Yes, for free

There's zero hype for this.

Quirky is fine. WarioWare is quirky. They should keep trying.
