Nintendo Labo

In plain words

Nintendo Labo is a DIY system that lets users build cardboard creations to use with the Nintendo Switch console. Players construct various contraptions from cardboard sheets, then use them as controllers for interactive games and experiences. Designed for families and creative individuals, it combines physical crafting with digital gameplay, encouraging hands-on creativity alongside traditional gaming. The system includes multiple kits with different projects and activities.
