Winner of this year’s Innovation Award at the Game Developer Choice Awards, Nintendo Labo is finally ready to woo kids with even more video game related toys. While we’ve known about the Nintendo Labo VR kit's April 12 release date for quite some time now, we finally have all the details of the VR set, including which games we’ll be able to play with the Labo VR kit.

Totaling out to 10 different experiences and games, Nintendo Labo VR will offer plenty for players to do. Games like Marble Run, Bird Dash and Blaster are big highlights to take into account, while others like Ocean Camera and House Camera will provide more laid-back options for players. We’ve broken down each of the ten different Labo VR games below, as well as included a brief description to help you know what each one is about.

Ocean Camera

Dive into the ocean and explore a beautiful virtual sea teeming with life. Take photos and interact with various sea species.

Home Camera

Explore a mysterious house and interact with a variety of magical and strange creatures that live within it. Take photos and complete missions inside the house.

Marble Run

Use the Toy-Con Elephant to complete physics puzzles using a variety of objects as you guide marbles through the rings. You can even create your own puzzles for family and friends to try to solve.

Doodle

Bird Dash

Alongside the array of games listed above, the Nintendo Labo VR kit will also include Toy-Con Garage. Anyone who has purchased a Labo kit before will recognize Garage as Labo’s easy-to-use programming set. Now, those who purchase the Nintendo Labo VR kit will also acquire Toy-Con Garage VR, which will allow players to make their own Labo VR experiences using the same tools that the Labo team used to make games like Blaster, Bird Dash, and the others included with Labo VR.
