Nintendo Labo Explained: 9 Things You Need To Know

4. How It Works: The RC Car Bug

Okay, now this is just crazy. So, although hardly any games have made use of "HD Rumble" (the Switch's utilisation of various high-fidelity motors to connote all sorts of sensations while holding the Joy-Cons), inside the Variety Kit are two RC car-style "bugs", that move based on specific vibrations from each controller.

Simply slide a Joy-Con onto either side of the main body, and from the tablet you can control front/back and left/right - just like a basic RC car. Best of all is the aforementioned "head cam" that relays back to the screen what the IR sensor is seeing, meaning you can essentially have first-person races around your house, or do a few laps of the kitchen table.

Yes, really.

Essentially, the crux to how much depth of control there is, comes from the specific shape of the cardboard Labo housing. Note those angular "legs" distributing weight between the two Joy-Cons, and allowing for more intense vibrations to carry the entire bug in one direction or another.
