When Nintendo announced the Labo kits, they unveiled two kits that customers could choose from. However if you’re looking for more variety, you’ll be pleased to learn that Nintendo has since announced the Vehicle Kit. Dubbed the Toy-Con 03 Vehicle Kit, this Labo kit is expected to be launched in September.
There will be several different creations that users will be able to come up with, such as the Toy-Con Car, a Toy-Con Pedal, a Toy-Con Plane, a Toy-Con Key, and a Toy-Con Submarine. Of course users are more than welcome to mix and match and come up with creations of their own, but these are some the templates that will be available.
These will require users to own the Nintendo Switch since it will take advantage of the Switch’s console unit as well as the Joy-Con controllers. In terms of pricing, the Vehicle Kit is priced like a regular game (albeit slightly more expensive) at $70 and will be available for purchase come 14th of September.
According to Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, “Nintendo Labo is a collaborative and creative experience designed to encourage imagination in people of all ages. We’re excited to offer a variety of fun gameplay experiences with Vehicle Kit, and look forward to seeing the creative Nintendo Labo community continue to grow.”

There are some people in the world who do not mind chatting to strangers and everyone they come across, whether it be the barista that hands them their morning coffee, their server, the janitor, their hairdresser, and so on. However there are some who might prefer not speaking to anyone at all if they can help it.
The good news is that if you’re the type that dreads getting a chatty taxi driver (or Lyft or Uber driver), you might be interested to learn that Lyft could be considering offering a “zen mode” to passengers. This is according to Taggart Matthiesen, Lyft‘s head of product who shared the idea when he made an appearance on The Verge’s Converge podcast.
According to Matthiesen, “We have thought about it. I think it’s interesting. At some point, we may play around with that idea, but that’s unfortunately not a feature at this point.” With this mode, it would effectively signal to drivers that the passengers just want a quiet ride to their destination and might not want to engage in small talk.
This might come in handy as some passengers who remain quiet might come off as aloof or even “rude” to some, which could affect their ratings. With “zen mode”, at least drivers now know why some passengers are quiet during rides. However as Matthiesen points out, this is simply an idea at the moment but it doesn’t seem like it would be implemented anytime soon.

Earlier this year, EA officially announced Battlefield V which is currently set for a release on the 19th of October. However if you wanted a chance to check out the game ahead of its release, not to worry because this is something that EA is looking to do as the company is planning for more hands-on opportunities for gamers.
According to EA CEO Andrew Wilson during the company’s Thursday financial call, “The ‘Battlefield 5’ beta results exceeded our expectations. The feedback was highly positive with players able to feel the advancements that DICE has focused on for the gameplay. This type of early play opportunity is now foundational to our development process. We are planning more hands-on opportunity for ‘Battlefield 5’ prior to launch.”
EA had recently held a closed alpha for the upcoming game which has since yielded pretty good results, which explains why the company is now looking for more opportunities for gamers to test the game ahead of its release. That being said, we know that there is an open beta that has been confirmed for September.
However we can only assume by that point in time the game would be relatively polished. No word on how gamers will be able to participate in the other betas, but we expect EA will share those details at a later date.

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.
It’s Friday. Get your day started with a video from Virgin Galactic’s latest test flight and then go for a ride with Roberto Baldwin in Lamborghini’s Huracán Performante Spyder.
Mobile app stores kicked off the most recent digital gold rush. It was a market that was almost easy to break into and, if you’re lucky, profit from. But as the dust slowly settled and the market stabilized, some developers were left disillusioned, penniless, or simply bored. Many just walked away towards the next big thing (like VR), abandoning their … Continue reading
Loot boxes have been causing a bit of controversy in recent times, with quite a few considering the feature to be “gambling”. For those who aren’t too thrilled with the concept of loot boxes, you’ll be pleased to learn that the folks at Turn 10 will be phasing loot boxes out of Forza Motorsport 7.
This was revealed on the Forza website where according to Turn 10’s Alan Hartman, “While we’ve never charged money for prize crates in Forza Motorsport 7, their presence in the game has continued to be a source of controversy. The overwhelming feedback has been that this system feels out of place in the game. After careful consideration, we have decided to completely remove prize crates from Forza Motorsport 7.”
He adds, “Similarly, paid tokens – which were a part of previous Forza games – will not be coming to Forza Motorsport 7 or Forza Horizon 4.” Hartman also notes that due to the complexity of removing prize crates from the game, it will not be done immediately and that they expect it to be completely phased out come winter.
In the meantime Turn 10 will be remove cars from priza crates in the game, thus keeping it purely about the cosmetics which means that there will be no advantages to being able to open more prize crates compared to other players.
