“You’ve got to hand it to Nintendo: how many people in the business of making games could sell people cardboard, yet somehow have it be the most creative thing around. As well as encouraging families to get together and shape their Amazon packages into pianos, fishing rods, and motorbike steering columns, LABO is also special because you can create your own games using the included software.
Sony’s LittleBigPlanet tried something similar with the idea of encouraging the community to create and share, and although Nintendo’s cardboard has only just been released, people are already coming up with things that make our brains hurt. These are the very best custom-LABO jobs we’ve found so far.”
