Oops! Labo was almost landfill at the German ratings board

It seems that Nintendo Labo threw a lot of people with its announcement, but perhaps the funniest is that the German Ratings Board, the Entertainment Software Self-Regulation Body or USK had no idea what Labo was when it arrived, as it was almost thrown out.

Here is the translation by Google

FINALLY, we can tell the anecdote, as the newest Nintendo hardware was almost once disposed of by the cleaning staff as waste paper (the story would have never believed us before ) #NintendoLabo

That would have been a very awkward call back to Nintendo once it was discovered, thankfully though, it sounds like the team caught it, before it went out for recycling.

Nintendo Labo is out here on April 20th, you can learn all about it right here.
