GN Version 5.0

As usual with Nintendo, there's always more to their products than they first reveal. While it wasn't discussed in the original Nintendo Labo trailer, there were some aspects shown that had people wondering if there was more to the experience. Today Nintendo reveals another tidbit that goes along with Nintendo Labo, called Toy-Con Garage.

- available from the software’s main menu
- starts out with an empty black screen
- select from a number of blocks based on input options for your Joy-Con
- connect them to other blocks based on output options
- add to it by connecting different actions and subsequent reactions and mapping them to existing Toy-Con projects
- example: motorbike handlebars and the RC car can be used in conjunction
- remap the motorbike’s standard acceleration function to the RC car’s acceleration
- this makes a RC car Toy-Con that can be driven with the handlebar Toy-Con
- assign a variety of unique functions to the Joy-Con controllers and Switch console as well
- design your own toys with cardboard lying around the house
- with a cardboard guitar, you can program it to meow like a cat depending on which on-screen strings you strum

Thanks to Sligeach_eire for the heads up!
