Nintendo's upcoming Labo series of games is novel in more ways than one: the DIY cardboard construction kits are filled with accessories like fishing rods, pianos, and even a robot-controlling, pulley-powered backpack, paired with games compatible with Nintendo's portable Switch console.

This morning Nintendo announced a new set of peripherals for the Nintendo Switch called the "Nintendo Labo" and they're made entirely of cardboard. Yep, Nintendo is now in the paper craft game and if you're looking to get into cardboard-video-game-toys, here's what you need to know.

No matter what your console is, you can add passcode, verification methods and two-factor authentication options and do it either through your web browser or on the console itself. Sorry, but you're out of excuses of why you haven't secured your account from people looking to steal your personal information.

The initial response to Amazon Australia's launch a couple of weeks ago was mostly disappointment, with a hint of optimism. There weren't a lot of quality deals to be found, but video games and consoles were offered at really competitive prices that made a few people take notice.

If you're looking for a copy of Super Mario Odyssey this is where you can find the absolute cheapest copies in Australia.

The new consoles have finally been announced, the dust is beginning to settle, and now there are a lot of choices for anyone wanting to make their way back into gaming or starting from scratch. Maybe you don't know one PS4 SKU from another or have any idea who Nathan Drake is -- and that's ok.

But why bother trying to hunt down another console when the smartphone in your pocket can already do almost everything the Switch can -- with a few upgrades.

The Nintendo Switch can only be viewed as a success story. It has sold more units at launch than any other Nintendo platform in history.
Yet people buy game consoles for the games. To date, the Switch only really has one high-profile game: The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild.

If you bought the console for Zelda, or are thinking of doing so, what do you play when you're done? The eShop is still pretty thin, but that doesn't mean there aren't some gems in there. Here are the five best that are out right now and exclusive to Switch. (Best of all, most of them cost under $30!)

Where there's a hardware flaw, there's a cottage industry to take advantage of it, and the Switch dock's propensity to scratch console screens is no different.

As such, fans who just plunked down their hard earned cash for the console are already rolling up their sleeves to build solutions to make their shiny new investment work the way it ought to. Here are six DIY hardware hacks that you may want to consider.
