The internet reacts hilariously to Nintendo Labo's cardboard accessories
Nintendo revealed its latest innovation to the world of gaming yesterday — Labo, a new line of cardboard accessories that turn the modular Switch console into new ways to play.
Of course, within minutes, people on the internet started making jokes about the cardboard Toy-Cons Nintendo showed off in its reveal video: a cardboard piano, a cardboard house, and a cardboard suit that lets you control a robot with your movements. People online came up with their own cardboard creations and riffed on the ones coming out this year.

Overwatch with full-body motion controls would be amazing, although all that cardboard for all those characters would take up a looooot of space.

A handful of people on the internet were quick to point out that the Twitter account for fast food chain Arby's has been posting cardboard and paper recreations of Nintendo consoles and games for a while, predicting Nintendo Labo before anyone.
