WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:07.520
so the lava reviews are in and everyone seems to think it's just

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:11.599
folding some cardboard but you know i don't blame the people

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:16.480
nintendo's marketing team over the last 10 years has been hit or miss to say the

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:23.119
least consider the following we fit and we fit plus combined sold over 43.8

00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:27.840
million units that's almost half the total number of wii consoles even though

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:32.399
it was a mold breaking accessory for a first of its kind console everyone

00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:39.040
understood what it was and they wanted it then the wii u was a complete

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.719
flop because basically no one knew

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:45.760
what it even was months after it came out i invited some

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:48.079
friends over and not a single one of

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:53.199
them understood that it was a new console before they arrived after seeing

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:58.800
the ads most of them thought it was just a tablet accessory and these guys are

00:00:55.760 --> 00:01:01.920
gamers and tech heads i guess that's why

00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:04.400
it only sold 13.6 million units then

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:10.240
there's the switch and instant sensation so naturally the roller coaster

00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:12.960
department was due for a flop and labo

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:18.000
well i don't have sales numbers yet but i can make an educated guess that

00:01:14.479 --> 00:01:19.920
they're not very high now to be fair it

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:23.920
is a bit more niche than something like a wii fit naturally but i believe the

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:27.520
main problem is that this guy's just pretty misunderstood if you want to know

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:31.439
what it's really about keep watching

00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:37.360
today's video is brought to you by mac weldon mac weldon makes great underwear

00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:39.280
t-shirts socks wallets and more they

00:01:37.360 --> 00:01:44.860
believe in simple shopping and if you use code tech tips you'll get 20

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:52.840
off through the link below

00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:58.560
so you got me you do start with folding

00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:02.799
cardboard but the cardboard folding experience is just teaching you the

00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:06.399
basics in a fun creative and engaging way it's not what the whole experience

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:10.959
is about it's like the first mission in a game and i must add with the best

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:14.720
instructions of any project i've ever built hands down you'll see them through

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:19.040
this whole explanation the first labo project you build is a little bug car it

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:23.040
teaches you that vibration can make things move that you can manually

00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:28.560
control the vibration frequency and introduces the concept that you can see

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:30.000
things through the ir camera especially

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:33.440
ir trackers the fishing game teaches you about the

00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:37.440
physical feedback of generating resistance through the use of rubber

00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:42.239
bands and the audible feedback from the clicking noise generated by a cardboard

00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:46.400
tab being hit by the reel the motorbike teaches you about the use of gyroscopes

00:02:44.239 --> 00:02:51.040
and advances on the ideas of resistance and feedback with the throttle the house

00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:54.800
teaches you intermediate ir camera use how it responds to ir stickers and how

00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:59.760
the stickers getting closer to the camera or turning away from the camera

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:01.920
etc can be registered and responded to

00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:06.159
and finally the piano shows you that you can take these concepts much further

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:10.239
than you may have previously thought that you're not just limited to one or

00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:14.879
two ir stickers or a couple basic interactions all of this is fun in games

00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:18.720
literally and depending on the age range of the person enjoying it finishing

00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:24.560
these projects may be the satisfying conclusion to a fun solo or group

00:03:21.040 --> 00:03:25.840
project with great pacing but labo

00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:32.159
is really about wait for it the lab part of the name it's about

00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:36.799
doing things yourself and experimenting like in a lab and you do this through

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:41.040
toycon garage which allows you to create your own toy con projects through the

00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:45.599
use of a basic programming interface that lets you tap into the power of the

00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:50.159
switch and its multi-functional joy-cons that you just spent the entire cardboard

00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:55.440
folding experience learning about and the power is real ariana grande jimmy

00:03:52.879 --> 00:04:01.439
fallon and the roots did an astonishing performance of no tears left to cry with

00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:05.599
just nintendo labo instruments we left out audio for copyright reasons but it

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:10.159
sounds incredible better than the original in my opinion go watch it now

00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:14.959
and then come back then we have japanese researcher and

00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:19.040
inventor kintaro yoshifuji who modded a 13 year old boy's electric wheelchair so

00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:23.759
it could be driven around with the motorcycle toy instead of the normal

00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:28.000
joystick for just some awesomely wholesome fun but you don't

00:04:25.919 --> 00:04:31.919
have to go that crazy with it either i found on youtube there's people who have

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:36.240
recreated game and watch which is really cool there's also a bunch of different

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:39.600
people making like vending machines and one that i really like is you take a

00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:42.960
container have the ir camera looking down into the container and then just

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:46.560
have it count how many things passes by so you can throw things and see if it

00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:51.280
actually goes in and keep score it's cool so in conclusion then should you

00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:54.960
buy a labo whether it's for a little kid you know or a big kid you are i think

00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:00.560
brad on twitter actually put a little bit better than i can yes

00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:02.800
but not for the folding cardboard it's

00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:06.400
about the experience as a whole it's about building something with others and

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:11.120
empowering you to play with your own creation it works on its own but it's

00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:16.479
best enjoyed as a social creative thing like building ikea furniture except fun

00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:20.080
