Make, play and discover new adventures with Nintendo Labo on 14th September
Buckle up for a brand new adventure while sitting in the driver’s seat of a car, a submarine and a plane with the Nintendo Labo: Vehicle Kit for the Nintendo Switch console, launching on 14th September.
This brand-new Nintendo Labo kit contains materials to build a variety of customisable cardboard creations called Toy-Con, including a Car, a Submarine, a Plane, a Pedal, two Keys and more. Insert one of the assembled Keys into any of the vehicles to enjoy a variety of fun games and activities. Changing between vehicles while adventuring is easy – just remove the key from one and slot it into another to transform from an airplane pilot to a submarine captain.
Since its introduction in April, Nintendo Labo has inspired creative minds and playful hearts alike by providing the tools and technology to make fun DIY creations, play games with your creations, and discover how Nintendo Switch technology shapes ideas into reality*. Nintendo Labo: Vehicle Kit will unlock even more ways for family and friends to make, play and discover together, as they speed through races, battle cars equipped with extendable arms and explore a mysterious world. Each vehicle features its own controls and special moves and, with the second key, players can even invite a co-pilot along on their in-game journey. Real-world interactions with the Toy-Con creations instantly translate into in-game actions to create a truly immersive experience – from pulling the cord on the Car to pop a wheelie, pushing the button on the Submarine to launch a grappling hook, and more.
As with every Nintendo Labo kit, Nintendo Labo: Vehicle Kit includes its own unique Nintendo Switch software designed to work with the included Toy-Con building projects. Players can enjoy the fun of making each Toy-Con creation, playing immersive games with them, discovering how they work, and even inventing new ways to play. All materials needed to complete each Toy-Con creation are included – no glue, tape, or scissors required.
The possibilities of Nintendo Labo: Vehicle Kit can be expanded even further with Toy-Con Garage. This intuitive and interactive programming tool is included with every Nintendo Labo kit and features a simple, visual interface and handy tutorials designed for players of all ages. Toy-Con Garage encourages players to experiment with the Toy-Con creations they’ve built or craft their own original designs using handy household items like paper cups, stickers and ribbon. This mode introduces simple principles of technology, allowing players to combine various simple inputs and outputs to invent their own new ways to play. Use the Joy-Con to play guitar sounds, make the Joy-Con vibrate by pressing buttons or make explosion sounds by shaking them – with Toy-Con Garage, the possibilities of Nintendo Labo become almost limitless, and players of all ages can enjoy hours of inventing, tinkering, crafting, playing, and enriching fun.
