It was just about over an hour ago that Nintendo introduced its new Labo project, in which kids and “kids at heart” can put together cardboard build-outs to create new play experiences for the Nintendo Switch. And the reactions have been mixed to say the least, with some people expressing excitement and others putting up humorous memes on the Internet, like they always do.
