Nintendo has posted a few more videos about this. In addition to the kits they’ve shown, there’s a “garage” mode where you can program things yourself, setting what reactions you want from the system for different inputs to the IR camera and controller buttons. Cool stuff. [Labo Garage video 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DleXxy_QJvM) [Labo Garage video 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hMMINaIh5w) ---

They’ve posted [a video](https://youtu.be/vI6QzU8NXFI) for a third Labo package, the vehicle kit. Just from this video it looks like more of a “real” game, which might address a complaint some people had about the first kits. ---

That looks really cool. Being able to switch between driving and flying and boating with the same vehicle is genius. ---

The real genius of Labo is getting people to pay $70 for cardboard. ---

They’re not getting people to pay for the cardboard. They’re getting people to pay for the thing that interfaces with the cardboard. ---
