Nintendo has begun to roll out support for Labo in other first party titles, starting with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

A software update for MK8D is now available that adds support for the Toy-Con Motorbike, a part of the Variety Kit. Turning the handlebars changes direction, while twisting the right handlebar accelerates. The accessible buttons on the controller handle items and other functions.

Other software will receive updates for Labo compatibility in the future, according to a Nintendo press statement.

Now that's what I call "I'm using tilt controls!" Vol. 2

And here I thought it couldn't get any more stupid than the Wii Wheel. Silly me.

Maybe the improved motion detection of the Joy-Cons will make for a better experience? Also, no need to worry about plastic because of the cardboard. I think there are aspects that are smarter.


But... it might be better if the game was compatible with a racing wheel.

This is a great addition, but I dont think I would ever actually play the game this way

So Dark Souls was delayed for Nintendo Labo Compatibility?

What's most interesting is the part about integration with other software being planned. I don't think this will change Labo's sales trajectory on its own, but if Nintendo has ways to integrate it with a lot of popular first-party titles, maybe we do start to see a boost. The Variety Kit is already doing decently in Japan (still squarely in the top 20 after two months), but any kind of half-way meaningful Splatoon 2 integration would be big on its own.

I expect a record for 100% Piano within three days of launch.
