How to evaluate Nintendo's release of Switch's new gameplay Labo?

Nintendo named the new Switch game Nintendo Labo, which can insert the Switch host into a card box assembled from various paper shells to realize the game experiences such as playing the piano, fishing and racing.

This new game mode has been popular with Switch players since its launch. Some people even think that this is a god-like idea and the ultimate performance of Nintendo's brain opening. Let's see what this new game looks like.

This morning, Nintendo uploaded a video introducing the new gameplay of Switch. In the video, Nintendo officially announced a peripheral+game called Nintendo Labo.

Specifically, the brand-new Labo peripherals can be cut and pieced together by specific cardboard, supplemented by the Switch device body and Joy-Con handle, to create a brand-new way to play a series of small games such as playing the piano, fishing, playing house and racing. In principle, we mainly use the somatosensory and infrared functions of switching devices to perceive specific cardboard, and then give feedback in the game, thus completing the whole interaction.

The advantages and disadvantages of the game are obvious. The advantages are: breaking the restriction that home entertainment equipment is only limited to specific interactive equipment such as handles, adding elements of traditional manual games into it, and increasing the interest of the game; The disadvantage is that specific cardboard is difficult to use in 3A masterpieces, and often only stays at the level of puzzle games. This means that Labo is probably Nintendo's new attempt at the children's market.

The audience of console and console games are mainly hard-core players who are mainly heavy games; In recent years, with the rapid development of mobile games, light games are gradually diverted from the host and handheld world, and hardcore is becoming more and more serious.

Summarize;

The shrinking mainframe market once put pressure on Nintendo and other manufacturers with a single income structure; Although the pressure has eased after the successful launch of the Switch handheld, expanding the business extension is still the direction of Nintendo's gravity in recent years. Combining AR and LBS to launch Pokemon GO, Nintendo completed the counterattack in the mobile game industry.
