Nintendo has a lot of big titles lined up for the first half of 2018 as its new hybrid console, the Switch, heads into the second year of its life, but certainly the most unexpected is Nintendo Labo. Unveiled last month as a new "experience" for the Switch, Nintendo Labo isn't a video game in the traditional sense, but rather a suite of DIY projects that use the console and Joy-Cons in a variety of clever ways.

So far, Nintendo is releasing Labo in two distinct "kits," each of which includes an assortment of cardboard sheets, string, and other crafts that can be assembled into different peripherals--charmingly dubbed Toy-Cons--that interact with the included software. The first package, the Variety Kit, features five different Toy-Cons to make for use with a corresponding activity, while the Robot Kit comes with materials to assemble a cardboard backpack that lets you control an on-screen robot.
