This is a normal post One cardboard kit is $69.99 the other is $79.99
That's pretty pricey. How will people make the robotic and sensor elements from the online model designs?

I like what they're doing here but they should concentrate on games rather than gimmickry - Every good game on the switch was a PC game first, with the arguable exception of Breath of the Wild, which is great if you like Zelda games but not so great if you don't.

This is a normal post Maybe the sensors are embedded in the carboard?
nice way of stopping them from being recyclable, it's Wii landfill peripherals all over again. Good old Nintendo!

This is a normal post Looks like there are white markers on the cardboard that are seen by something in the controllers.

This is a normal post The sensors are the Joycon controllers, which come with the Switch
The rest is just cardboard and string...

This is a normal post Like I say you can download the patterns for free
I think it's fkn brilliant thinking. Mr Toast I didn't think you would go from pondering that 'Maybe they are embedded' to declaring outright that it would be "landfill all over again" quite so easily.

Also that price tag includes the game software

EDIT: Example, the piano uses the little camera built into the joypad to detect key presses. It's just cardboard

This is a normal post If the designs are all online for free, what are the £50/£60 price points?
Pondering if sensors were in the cardboard and remarking that it would stop them being easily recycled (like all the ridiculous plastic add-ons that the Wii encouraged) isn't a particularly strange train of thought, is it?
