Two Nintendo Labo fans are making the most out of their kits by giving back to the platform’s devoted players. “Labotopia,” is a self-described “destination for the unofficial Labo’s spare parts, crazy and creative ideas, and joy,” and it’s live now.
Labotopia co-founder rico_k turned to r/NintendoSwitch on Monday, pointing out how the Nintendo Labo launched without a centralized “resource center” where fans could share their projects. The game’s Toy-Con Garage in particular lets players customize Labo parts in ways entirely unprecedented for a gaming console, and the site strives to let players document their customizable Toy-Cons for other players to enjoy.
One collection, for instance, links to a post by The Verge that teaches players how to create a guitar through Nintendo Labo. Another features the Labo’s official replacement PDFs. While the website only offers a handful of submissions for now, adding new content is as easy as submitting a URL to a guide online.
“For now, Labotopia is just a hub of curated Labo projects and concepts, but in the near future, I can imagine us evolving for something more sophisticated, with tips and guides to print a cardboard by yourself, lists of best printing works around the world, one-click-button to buy a community project and so on,” rico_k wrote in his thread on r/NintendoSwitch. “It only depends on acceptance by the community.”
