Nintendo's Labo is already unleashing the mad scientists of the Internet
A world of cardboard creations
Nintendo just came out with the Labo for Switch, and already people are taking the Toy-Con Garage mode and coming up with some amazing creations of their own. Here's a few of the coolest inventions we've seen so far:

Someone on the Labo Reddit has already pointed out that the motorbike model makes an excellent stand for gaming with the Switch in bed.
Another user created a beautiful diorama, using the console as an interactive backdrop to make stars shoot across a night sky.
