The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon is going to have a special Nintendo Labo musical performance tonight. The video above is a teaser of the full piece, which features Ariana Grande performing, "No Tears Left to Cry." Fallon talked a bit about the performance in an IGN interview, which you can see a snippet of below.
"I just love Nintendo. They’re so fun and creative, and they’re always thinking of another way to use video games, and a different way to experience Game Play — which they did with the 3DS. They just always have fun ideas, and so when Labo came out, I said, 'we’ve got to do something with that.' So we did!
We met with Nintendo and they showed us a bunch of cool cardboard things that you can make. We used the Variety Kit and we made a keyboard. We asked if we could make other cardboard things like guitars and they [Nintendo] said, 'Of course! We’ll help you do it.'
When you have the Labo guitar, it’s almost like a synthesizer. So I can strum it and make it sound like a keyboard. I can strum it and make it sound like a bird sound. I mean I can do anything with it.
Tariq was using the Toy-Con Fishing Rod. Every time he raised it up it would make a funny noise, almost like a theremin. We set Kamal and James each up with two Toy-Con Pianos so they could play both bass and the higher octaves. We had Stro use two Joy-Con to make different drum sounds and then Questlove had the Robot Kit on, controlling both the kick drum and high-hat."
