....my son has been asking for a labo kit and a vr headset. He'll no doubt be wanting this if he hears about it

No I don't have proof, but obviously if you're going to spend money on one thing, you'll have less for other projects. And of course I'm bashing them for it, Labo was a cute little project that flopped, it has little value (unless you like paying $100 for some cardboard and mini-games).  

Yikes, people are pretty pissed about this apparently. I thought this sounded like the coolest Labo yet, personally. I mean I probably won't get it, but it's definitely the coolest one so far. It's also proof that Nintendo is thinking about VR, which is cool. I'll bet the Switch successor deliberately tries to incorporate some kind of VR function as a switchable form function somehow to create an affordable way to get a decent VR headset built into a mainstream console.

They literally opened E3 2018 with a new IP, revived Marvel Ultimate Alliance at the game awards, and announced another new IP last month.  Nintendo is invested heavily in a wide range of IPs stretching across numerous genres.  So I don't know what you are talking about.

Edit: I also forgot Town announced last year.  They have 12 exclusives launching at retail this year.  9 or 10 of them in a seven month span.

Looks at the blaster design

Okay, now that's an elephant gun, alright!

I mean Labo is approaching 2 million total between the different kits, and is already over a million on the original variety kit, so I wouldn't call it a flop, honestly. Not everything has to sell 5+ or 10+ million copies to be considered successful.

Perfect combo for him I'd say, unless he has no Switch yet

Never knew a cardboard can make someone as pissed as this

Someone didnt watch the direct...... Astral Chain was just announced a couple weeks ago.... but go on

Feel free to list them, because other than Astral Chain and Deamon x Machina, i don't know a lot more that doesn't look like Indie games or 2d games.
