Forgot all about Labo. The amount of wild experiments Nintendo has shipped is admirable.

Yeah, definitely—it's my favorite thing about the company. Well, maybe second to their consistent level of quality. But seriously—the Labo piano used the IR camera to scan in waveforms to create new instruments. The VR kit had an elephant trunk mask to let you move around parts in a marble run game. Nintendo has a lot of wild experiments, and Labo takes that all to the next level.

And that's not getting into the quality of software for building the kits—way beyond any instructions that Lego has ever put out.
