The video was also very short. Now, I’m not saying that there were no interesting games at all in…

By now, we all know what to expect from the Toy-Con 1 and Toy-Con 2 packs that will hit retail when Nintendo Labo goes live on April 20, but what we are less familiar with is how the Toy-Con Garage will work.

There are some games that are so hard that you just want to throw your controller or in the case of the Switch, your system, and give up games altogether.
