Random: Nintendo Labo Video Features Kinopio-Kun Getting Pumped, In The Weirdest Way Possible

Someone on Nintendo’s marketing team might have gone off the deep end with this one.

Obviously, it’s supposed to look like Kinopio-Kun is working out with sit-ups. We just can’t possibly imagine how Nintendo green-lit this without realizing how suggestive it might look. Our eyes are forever scarred, now.
