Pretty neat. Reminds me of Scratch, might actually get kids interested into programming as well.

Also reminds me of Klik and Play, software that is older than I am

They should had shown this way sooner such as the announcement video.
this shit is so dumb i cannot understand how people think this is innovative
[QUOTE=grob;53203751]this shit is so dumb i honestly cannot understand how people can think this is good and innovative
noone is going to sit there and play with their pieces of cardboard let's be real here people[/QUOTE]
It's marketed to children

Does it have to be innovative? In my eyes this is kinda innovative since it really encourages kids to figure things out for themselves, I mean i'd fucking love this shit if i were a kid. Being able to combine different "toys" together.
And yeah like said, this is for kids. Perhaps a bit expensive but Nintendo never were the cheapest brand to buy from.

There's a reason physical toy video game tie-ins were phased out like R.O.B and others; Nintendo is just banking on the art department for this one, relying on nostalgia and the kitschy appeal.
It's for kids but what a shitty toy to sell to kids in the first place.

Ironically, the adults are more likely to do shit work this.
Wow this is cool. Reminds me a lot of the Lego Mindstorms kits I played with as a kit. That shit was basically the reason I got into programming.

Dude, I would have LOVED this as a kid. You don't even need to buy the kits, they're just a fun way to get started. I was skeptical of the labo stuff too at first, but this just opens up a ton of possibilities for play and creativity.

I hate to keep beating this dead horse of a response but like, complaining about labo not being the hottest new tech misses the point. Why bother learning to work with a raspberry pi when I can have a $2000 rig to play the latest PC games? Why bother making papercraft stuff when I can just order a 3D print of a model I ripped from a game?
It's a tool for explorative learning and crafting, and is absolutely great for kids to dive into creating stuff. When I was 8-10ish I had lego robotics and by god if there had been a way I could use that shitty [url=http://www.techno-stuff.com/demoprgm.JPG]programming app[/url] to link it up to an n64 I'd have exploded right on the spot
Maybe grob was just lame as a kid

Dude i'd take this over a action man figure any time when i was a kid.
