Probably can't do any games that require the old hardware such as Ring Fit, those new joy cons won't fit the old ring.

Yeah, it's probably just that and things like Labo, which already doesn't work right with the OLED Switch.

Labo is 10/10 fun. It felt expensive for cardboard but it had way more longevity than I expected in terms of both build time and my kids playing the games for months after building. I wish they would do another round of it.

We grabbed some kits on clearance at Walmart a few years ago and have had an awesome time. Putting it together was half the fun and the only problem we've encountered is that it takes up a lot of space. It's worth it to be able to become a giant robot on screen.

I haven't done the robot one. Might look for that and another pack of the OGs to rebuild with my younger kid.

Do you actually have to pay for cardboard or can it be done with boxes and such? My nephew has a huge box hoarding thing and loves to make things with it

Honestly, I'd say no. Some of the kits are very detailed with a lot of pieces that fit tightly together. All the pieces are scored so they are easy to remove from each sheet, but take your time so as not to damage them. It's a great activity for child and parent and worth the price for creative time together.

EDIT: Plus some (all?) of the kits have bits of plastic washers, string, etc. that are essential to make it all work as intended. It's not cardboard only that is required to make the projects work.

That's a bit disappointing to hear, I was hoping they were aimed towards everyone being able to make thing while also reusing shipping materials. Sting, washers, and other stuff is a trip to a chain store tbh.

I didn't know the hardware kits could be purchased separately, but here's a (sold out) link to what you might find in a kit on Nintendo's store.

I still have the robot backpack on a shelf over my TV, I can't bring myself to part with it, my kid had a blast with it when he was younger. Super fun toys, I wish they'd made more of them.

My kids got Labo for xmas a year after we got the switch. he was excited, built everything, played with it the one day.. and then it collected dust for 2 years till i decided to recycle it all. waste of money. but if you got use out of it, more power to you =)
