thriftymaxing means buying expensive furniture/antiques for bottom barrel pricing off Craigslist. Not buying the cheapest mass produced piece of shit brand new. I got a America Martinsville MCM dresser for $25 when it's worth closer to $2k. That's thriftymaxing.
This will probably be the last time Japan trusts US to play with goofy shit. Goodbye donkey kings, goodbye fishing reel games, and probably wagglin will be killed off soon enough even now its on life support
>Whatever happened there
Nintendo continued it's decades of children's focused entertainment and made millions of dollars using literal cardboard.
And then for some reason Snoys attack a made up straw man that doesn't exist and think it doesn't make them look moronic.
It "only" sold 2,000,000 instead of 10,000,000 so they didnt see any reason to continue the idea.
Nintendo are weird like that. Like the remote control car augmented reality Mario Kart. Probably only sold 1,000,000 of those when they wanted to sell 5,000,000 or something so we never heard from it again.
Nintendo never makes decisions like that though. Labo had multiple sets. They offered replacements, they offered DIY kits if you wanted to supply your own cardboard. It ran its course. Just like the Game & Watches they did or the NES and SNES mini. Could they do more of those? For sure. Will they? maybe. Does Nintendo ever beat their successes into the ground? It's just not their style.
anyway I found some in-box Labo kits at a Goodwill several years ago and bought them, it looks like the previous person had only assembled one or two things and left the rest. Neither of my kids is like, a Lego kid, so they didn't really think the world of it, but my toddler especially loves to set up the cardboard wheel and pedal and drive around. All of that stuff is super cool. They're just fun little toys. When you put them together, it's amazing to see how they work.
probably. One of the giant robot games was literally a WiiU game by Miyamoto they just repackaged into labo. It really does seem like it was a bunch of Wiiu/switch tech demos they bundled into a childrens arts and craft prodcut.
They sold a bunch of overpriced cardboard kits and then stopped. No big mystery here. Kinda feels like it might have been a holdover idea from early in the Switch's life where they may have felt a need to come up with a gimmick to justify the Joycons, but then the Switch took off and became insanely popular anyway - but they still put out the Labo anyway since they already had sunk costs developing it
Remember when Smash rostergays tried to push some random cardboard cutout as a huge surprise pick, instead of the cool looking Labo robot, which did get a .png in the fricking game?
I wouldn't take that to mean anything, except that scalpers didn't start cumming over it. Remember when people were buying up the Game & Watches and trying to scalp those at first? I STILL see those once in a while and both of them were limited release holiday window things. and they both rocked too.
>Fun toys for kids
What's the problem?
"adults" bought them
Interesting idea
>>Fun toys for kids
>What's the problem?
I honestly wish we had more stuff like this instead of 50 different Mario Lego sets but hey
>I bet we can get people to buy literal cardboard
>lol no way dude
>watch xD
Actual humiliation ritual.
>cheapest ikea couch he could find
Why do these bug men have absolute shit taste in furniture/design.

I got a second hand puffy faux leather sofa and armchair from a charity shop for £120.
Are you a woman or something?
Bro there's not even any foam on the sides of the couch. It's just poorgay looking bullshit.
I'll take that as a yes
This first time I saw this web m I thought it was from some weird porn.
LABO was pretty ingenious engineering and creativity. Sold millions too. My kids loved it.

It's fricking wierd seeing a post typed by a sane normal person.
was this some half baked Iwata idea that was already planned by Nintendo and they stopped making them after the third set flopped

don't insult cardboard
The same thing that causes kids to prefer lego over bionicle. Too much effort for so little reward.

I saw stacks of these things at the electronic section for years. People weren't buying it.

It looked interesting. If I had a kid I probably would have tried it
WHATEVER HAPPENED THERE!?
The cardboards
