Nintendo highlights Labo’s achievements, pursuing sales so even more people can enjoy the series

This information comes from Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa…
We also released a fourth Nintendo Labo kit this month, Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit. Users can construct five Toy-Con from cardboard parts, including a Toy-Con Blaster, Toy-Con Camera, and Toy-Con Bird, then pair them with Nintendo Switch to enjoy unique experiences in a VR space through their body movements. For example, while controlling the in-game action, users can press a pedal with their foot to create and feel an actual breeze. This is probably different from the image you have of a VR device. Users can also create their own games in VR.
The three Nintendo Labo kits released last year received an Innovation Award at the Game Developers Conference in the US this March, and a BAFTA Family award and Game Innovation award at this month’s British Academy Games Awards. The product has been recognized for its innovation in many countries and we are exceptionally proud of these achievements. Nintendo Labo is even being used in schools, and we are continuing to pursue sales so that even more
consumers can enjoy the series.

He told The Verge in a new interview:

A couple of tidbits about Mario Odyssey’s Nintendo Labo VR Kit support, new screenshots
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Screenshots, Switch | 0 comments
Last week, Nintendo announced that Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be updated later this month to support the Labo VR Kit. We now have a little bit of additional information on the functionality in Super Mario Odyssey plus new screenshots.
One of the things we heard is that you can collect music notes, but Nintendo didn’t really elaborate on the details. We’re now hearing that doing so lets you get instruments, and you can then give them to other characters to play. Also, there’s apparently a performance at the venue in New Donk City, which you can view with VR.
Below are the latest screenshots:

[Nintendo Everything Podcast] – episode #23 – Give Me Labo VR Metroid!
Posted on 5 years ago by Oni Dino(@Oni_Dino) in Podcast, Switch | 0 comments
Hello, you beautiful Shy Guys and Shy Girls! This week on NEP, please excuse Oni’s sick voice… BUT! The gang has several great discussions you’ll want to hear. This includes Best Buy leaking games allegedly via their website, which Galen provides some extra insight on, as he used to be a terrible employee back in the day. We then discuss Labo VR and muse over what future ways Labo could be used (Oni freaks over Metroid). We then get a little heavy as we find ourselves talking about the games industry and publishers capitalizing on the social phenomenon of FOMO.
Thank you for listening! Please help the show grow by sharing the podcast with someone you think might enjoy.
