Alright, if you've read my previous coverage of Nintendo Labo you know I've been a little torn about it. I think it's a great idea, but I also firmly believe it's something I'd buy, build, play with for a day, and then forget. At least I did until Ninty decided to make the Variety Kit compatible with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.Â
Nintendo Labo offers up a whole host of creative possibilities outside of its basic uses, as Jimmy Fallon, The Roots, and Ariana Grande , but the 'game' side of things is what stopped me from purchasing one myself.Â
I'd have a blast building the Labo bits and the fishing game would likely draw my attention for a few hours, but that was about it. It seemed the motorbike function was the weakest of the lot... until Mario Kart joined the fray.
