Nothing about Labo VR Kit, Nintendos foray into virtual reality, should work.
Compared to other virtual reality systems, the frame-rate is sluggish and the graphics are kind of crap.
Its so cheaply constructed its literally made of cardboard.
Theres no huge, immersive world to get lost in.
Theres not even a strap to keep it attached to your face.
Its VR, but its not virtually fun.
Like the best toys, Labo expands with the interests of your child.
If they just want to chill out with a fun little VR game, Labo offers dozens.
If theyre into art, they can mod their projects into cardboard masterpieces.
That one took a couple of hours.
The on-screen instructions are clear and easy to understand.
when working on more time-consuming toy-cons.
Play games
Once youve built a toy-con, its time to put it to the test.
Another player can even strap on a cardboard snorkel and swim through your world.
The bird controller offers the chance to fly through an avian world by flapping your cardboard wings.
You hatch your eggs and feed your little chickies until they join you and fly by your side.
Its gentle and reminds me a bit of ancient N64 favoritePilotwings 64.
There is no elephant game to go along with the elephant controller.
The main event of the toy-cons for most kids will likely be the blaster.
The most complicated build, the blaster has you folding cardboard into a bazooka-like gun.
Not bad for some cardboard and rubber bands.
You play them for a little bit, and pass the gear to your friend.
No calibrating and adjusting the VR.
Just a fun little novelty to share with a pal.
Sadly, theres doesnt seem to be any way to share Labo projects online.
Id love to see the cool home-brew games and toys people are cooking up with Labo VR.
