"Weird Nintendo is the best Nintendo" - The internet reacts to that bonkers Nintendo Labo trailer

Coming straight off the back of last week's Mini Direct, Nintendo made yet another crowd-pleasing announcement yesterday, with the reveal of Nintendo Labo; a new game/application for the Switch which allows players to enjoy virtual entertainment through a mix of the console's sensory technology and good old fashioned cardboard DIY. It's... hard to explain, but the brilliantly wacky trailer (below) gives you a good idea of how Labo will work in practice. And we've got details of the Nintendo Labo price too.

It's due to release this April, starting from around $69.99/£51, depending on which bundle you buy, but the internet has already kicked off the meme train for Labo, as Twitter reacted to the announcement with a flood of pithy reactions and sly jokes. Here's some of the best responses to Nintendo Labo that we've come across so far.

They did say it was for kids!

Nintendo teased the announcement beforehand as an experience designed for "kids and those who are kids at heart.” Sadly, some of us didn't get the message.

But some have their concerns...

Whatever you do, don't play Nintendo Labo in the rain, next to an open fire, or in close proximity to the post office.
