Nyko To Release Labo-Like Cardboard Arcade Cabinet For Switch
Nyko, a third-party peripheral manufacturer, is creating the PixelQuest Arcade Kit, a miniature cardboard arcade cabinet for the Nintendo Switch. Much like Nintendo Labo, the cabinet comes in sheets of pre-cut cardboard that you can pop out and assemble yourself.
The kit turns the Joy-Cons into classic arcade joysticks with thumbstick extensions and plastic housing that mechanically remaps the shoulder buttons so that they're accessible. A cutout in the side of the cabinet allows the Switch to slide in and act as the cabinet's screen, and additional cutouts allow for ventilation and access to the Switch's charging port.
The kit also includes four sheets of small square stickers of various colors, allowing you to customize the cabinet with your own pixel art.
The cabinet will be available November 27 for $19.99. You can learn about the cabinet on Nyko's website.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
