@typhlosion @alice "once the novelty wears off that's $70 gone" is literally true of any video game.

ok one last labo thing sorry i'll go now 

people are thinking about it as $70 cardboard with free games instead of $60 game with $10 pre-printed pre-scored cardboard + extras and i think that's why there's so much indignation

labo minor complain blah blah 

@posit@chitter.xyz well ok let me toss a few things up here

i don't think thrift stores are popular in japan at all (correct me if i'm wrong) japanese people have a tendency to just toss away old things even if they're perfectly functional.

lego is like, super expensive. unless you buy used? but then it's the thrift store thing again

newer meccano sets seem also doomed in the "you can only build this set" kinda way, from what i can find anyway. it's not as generalized as lego

i also wanna see labo takes contextualized in the japanese society. what's the average japanese switch owner like? do more families with small children have switches? this would be cool for parents who have a switch to get so they can play with their kids

@KitRedgrave@glitch.social exactly but people just see the cardboard.

Considering the usual price of games on the Switch and the fact that it comes with game things for all the cardboard things, that Labo stuff isn't priced that far out of the way

@KitRedgrave@glitch.social but it's !! overp ric ed !~!! jus t ! carb o ard s!!! ! !! %

this is not an attack. i literally want to see what else you can come up with

don't wanna spend 70 buckos on interactive cardboard toys? cool take a raspi and make your own let's see what you come up with

labo toy-cons 1 and 2 have esrb ratings for mild cartoon violence and fantasy violence respectively

also i see a lot of people claiming that you're not getting a cartridge or that you're "maybe" getting a cartridge

the website literally says software included did you even check it? labo.nintendo.com/kits/variety

like yea haha expensive cardboard

look it was _just announced_

they might offer sets without the cartridges for cheaper later on

or downloadable templates for you to build extras who knows

i hope one day people give nintendo a break for trying new things instead of. jumping in the 4k bandwagon and calling it a day. rag on those guys instead?

@posit@chitter.xyz @codl @lighttrax look, i guess. but if you take a look at other toys you build with and stuff (take meccano for example) are also pretty expensive. yeah it's cardboard but it's also 5 kits for the price of a competing 1. and it's cheaply interactive if you already own a switch. idk i really like it and i honestly don't see why there's so much negativity around it
