Nintendo Labo is a new line of accessories that allow players to transform their Switch console and Joy-Con controllers into new ways to play.

They all require a bit of DIY construction and interact with the console in different ways.

Nintendo Labo takes advantage of the infrared motion camera in the right Joy-Con to detect what's happening with the cardboard creations and translate it into a game.
