Nintendo Labo: official FAQ and TV Commercial

With less than a month left until release, Nintendo has updated the official website for Nintendo Labo with something really handy, that many a parent will find both interesting and useful: an official FAQ. Even if you’ve watched all the videos and read every single article about it, you probably have many questions left about this unique DIY experience. And maybe the FAQ does have an answer to them!

Here’s the questions featured in the FAQ (which is most likely going to be updated closer to and after launch):

• What age range is this appropriate for? How long does it take to make these projects?
