This has to be one of the most unusual third-party items ever released for a Nintendo product. Makes sense because Nintendo Labo is hardly typical.

Nintendo's Labo launched with two kits in April — a variety pack and a robot one — but its third is arriving September with the Vehicle Kit.

Nintendo’s Labo came with a bunch of stuff you could craft, but fans taking part in a competition have come up with a bunch of new/improved designs, ranging from big red dinosaurs to solar powered accordions to interactive teapots.

The standard Nintendo Labo kits include designs such as robot arms, mini pianos and fishing rods, but some players have been able to use the raw materials to create other stuff, such as this steering wheel for a motorised wheelchair.

Over the weekend, Nintendo encouraged people to get even more creative with a contest for the most wild and ambitious creations. Yesterday, the company announced the winners.

Starting next month, Nintendo is running a contest for people to design their own Labo creations, and the prizes include these very nice custom Switch units.

If your Nintendo Labo cardboard is lying around in a post-launch pile, you could try digging it out and playing some Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with it.

We've already seen Nintendo's Labo play some serious music, but here's another example courtesy of The Roots, Ariana Grande and Jimmy Fallon.

Last year, it was seemingly impossible to get a Nintendo Switch in Japan. The console was always selling out. What about Nintendo Labo? Right now, you can easily pick one off the shelf.

Now that Nintendo Labo is out, people are doing cool things with it. Using the motorcycle Joy-Con to control a wheelchair has to be among the coolest of them.

Oh, you thought you were cute playing a little piano on the Nintendo Labo? Here's Japanese musician Geniway showing just how good the software's suite of music tools can be.

I really like interacting with the Nintendo Labo. I like popping, snapping, folding, and even just looking at each little piece. It's gotten to the point that I'm having a hard time throwing any of it away.

It's a Saturday afternoon in Osaka. My two youngest sons are sitting at the kitchen table, pulling out sheets of cardboard to make Nintendo Labo. The older of the two, who is eight, is looking at the instructions, making sure he's got the folds just right. This all feels familiar.

Today on Highlight Reel we have Labo creations, God of War laziness, inter-dimensional nut punches, and much more!

As people got their hands on Nintendo Labo over the weekend, they have been making some really cool, and really funny, creations. They have made everything from rhythm games to functioning clocks to cat toys. Here's a few I really liked.

Cats love boxes! They love cardboard. But do they love Nintendo Labo?

For this week's Community Review, let's just stop and reflect on the fact that you can buy a console in 2018. That interfaces with cardboard.

Before purchasing Nintendo Labo, one of my concerns was about replacement parts. What if my kids destroy the cardboard? What if I accidentally sit or step on a Toy-Con? There's good news and bad news. Good news, Nintendo's online shop has started selling replacement cardboard. Bad news, it's unavailable to Australian customers.

Already destroyed the cardboard accessories from your Labo? That was fast, I'm impressed. Don't worry, Nintendo have pdf copies of all of the Labo templates on their website so you can print out new ones.

The first question you might have about Labo is: What's so special about a box of cardboard and some mini-games? And the first thing to understand about Labo is that what's actually in the box is only part of the appeal.
