Nintendo has announced the Nintendo Labo, which gives gamers the opportunity to play their new favorite console and incorporate it in their own innovative cardboard creation. With a simple piece of cardboard, you can literally turn your Switch into a piano, fishing pole, motorbike, and much more. 

The announcement has been met with mixed reviews, with some people realizing that their distaste over paying for a piece of cardboard will eventually result in Nintendo getting their money regardless.

To be clear, Nintendo's Labo is incredibly my bullshit and I'm going to waste so much money on cardboard

Nintendo may never compete with Xbox and PlayStation in terms of graphics, but the company continues to pump out creative approaches to gaming that will keep people coming back for more. The Nintendo Labo will drop on April 20 [insert 4/20 joke here] and starts at $69.99. 

Check out the video above to see if you're going to be one of those people forking over a decent amount of money for the Nintendo Labo.
