NINTENDO LABO: VEHICLE KIT VIDEO REVEALS NEW FEATURES AHEAD OF 14th SEPTEMBER LAUNCH

Start your engines… Only two weeks until the launch of Nintendo Labo: Vehicle Kit

3rd September, 2018 – To celebrate the Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 03: Vehicle Kit which launches on 14th September for Nintendo Switch*, Nintendo has released an overview video that dives, drives and flies into more detail about this new Nintendo Labo kit. You can watch the Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 03: Vehicle Kit overview video at the official Nintendo Australia YouTube channel.

Similar to other Nintendo Labo kits, there are several fun creations for fans to build – including a Car, Submarine and Plane – along with the following features unveiled in the video:

  • A closer look at Adventure mode, one of the included games, in which players explore a mysterious world featuring pyramids, an archaeological dig site, snowy mountains and much more. Players use the Toy-Con Key to seamlessly swap between a car, plane and submarine to explore the deepest depths and highest heights of this world. Interact with a variety of intriguing characters as players explore and complete a variety of missions solo or co-op with a friend.
    • Each vehicle has different controls and special moves – players launch a grappling hook from the submarine, do a barrel roll and shoot missiles with the plane, perform wheelies and deploy saw blades or bombs with the car, and more.
  • Different included games offer a variety of fun experiences. In Rally, players pass through checkpoints while racing to the goal; Circuit is a racing game with a twist as players can launch punches at opponents; Slot Car is a classic game that is controlled using only the Toy-Con Pedal; and in Battle, racers can participate in one-on-one automotive combat with other players**.
  • Paint Studio uses the Toy-Con Spray Can to let players personalise their in-game vehicles as well as the driver, gently shaking it to feel and hear the “ball” inside as they mix up the paint.
  • Custom Controls, a new feature for Nintendo Labo exclusive to Vehicle Kit, lets players make their own controllers for the game with common household items. Want to ride a broom to steer the plane? How about drawing button controls on a customised screen protector for when playing in handheld mode? It’s a great way to get started with building unique Toy-Con creations.
  • With the Toy-Con Car and Pedal, and after downloading an update after launch, players will be able to race against their friends in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch***. Take a first look at gameplay in the Playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with the Nintendo Labo: Vehicle Kit at gamescom 2018 video. It’s also possible for players to play using the Toy-Con Motorbike from the Nintendo Labo: Variety Kit.
