Nintendo Co. surprised gamers and investors alike by unveiling new cardboard accessories which interact with games for its Switch console.
Nintendo Labo features cardboard sheets that users can pop out and fold into everything from motorbike handles to fishing rods and a miniature piano. The Switch’s detachable Joy Con controllers are then inserted, with their sensors detecting movement such as turning a corner to manipulate games on the screen. Shares of Nintendo rose as much as 3.3 percent in Tokyo after the unveiling.
