Nintendo Created a Cardboard-Style Switch You Can't Buy

Nintendo Switch Labo Collector's Edition

As we've seen with the 3DS, Nintendo is happy to offer many different case designs for its handheld hardware. But for the Switch, a highly-desirable custom paint job is set to be offered to just one person as part of a contest next month.

The Nintendo Labo Creators Contest starts on July 19 and runs through Aug. 20. Nintendo wants the best musical instrument and best gaming experience created using the Toy-Con Garage and craft materials. The judges will focus on both quality and creativity when deciding on the winners.

In return for that creativity, one lucky grand prize winner will receive a collectible Nintendo Switch with a custom paint job inspired by Nintendo Labo. As the image above shows, Nintendo created a Switch that looks like it's made out of cardboard. That same winner will also receive a Nintendo Labo Creators jacket and a framed award certificate signed by Nintendo Labo developers.

Four runner-up winners will receive the same Creators jacket, but also a collectible pair of Joy-Con controllers in the same cardboard-styling.

In order to take part, you just need a Nintendo Account, Switch, and Labo so as to make your musical instrument or gaming experience. It's also possible to submit more than one creation if you have time, just make sure each one is unique.

In other news, Nintendo announced that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is now compatible with the Toy-Con Motorbike creation. It means you can create the handlebars and race around the tracks using them for a different experience. It's sure to be a lot of fun and very rewarding knowing you built the controller yourself.
