Really love this small motion gaming console. Fun, repeatable games safe for the whole family and young kids, most often really great for 1-2 players at a time and some games supporting 1-4 players as well.
Great for kids to burn off excess energy and get some healthy exercise in, and something I've been incorporating into my morning workout routine as well as there's a great music rhythm game and some exercise-specific games as well.
Love how none of these games require a controller - you use a remote to navigate the menu and select games but once you're in a game most of them can be entirely controlled with body motion alone.
The console comes with 5 games in the box and you need a quarterly or monthly subscription to access the rest of the content but with 22+ games for only $90 a year for the annual plan it really feels like a steal.
I bought this with same day shipping in the morning and got it delivered to me in less than 5 hours. Did not know that was possible. Wow!

I bought this game system to play with my family and visiting relatives over the thanksgiving holiday. It was an instant hit. Setup was relatively simple and the games were fun for young and old. Everyone had an amazing time. we also got a fair amount of exercise which felt great. This was one of the best game related purchases I have made. I am not surprised that this system has sold just about everywhere since its release. Get if you can you will not be disappointed.

NEX playground is a MUST have

NEX Playground is hands-down the best gaming system we've ever owned. It has amazing, quality games that are completely controller-free. I love that the kids can't fight over controllers, they can just play with their hands and jump in and play! There are games for all ages and it's even fun for adults and toddlers! All of my kids are obsessed. It does an incredible job of recognizing movements in real-time speed. I haven't even gotten to the best part yet, which is that it gets my kids up and moving! No sitting on the couch, no staring down at tablets. I can't say enough good things. Everyone needs one of these for Christmas!!!

Camera gets dirty quick with kiddos!

It would’ve been nice if they had a oleophobic coating on the camera because my 2 1/2 year-old and my six year old will get the camera dirty just by moving the camera cover off.
Microfiber is our friend over here, but it would be nice if they added that!
As for using the system, it’s amazing both the kiddos love it and it burns off so much energy. I feel like especially the doodle game.
They just laugh and do jumping jacks essentially while they defeat space invader like baddies.
I do wish there was more regular game releases for the subscription but so far I have no regrets paying the nearly $100 annual subscription.

The system was easy to set up and gameplay has been smooth so far. With the 5 included games, we had hours of fun. The optional play pass subscription is worth it if you compare it with other gaming systems and you don't have to mess with switching cartridges or disks. There is an included remote, but I was able to use my Samsung remote as well to navigate through the screens. The included magnetic camera cover is also great for added privacy. Perfect for young kids and families!

This is a great product. I was wary of the price of the subscription, thinking they may not support with new games, but there have been a lot of new games put on it. The kids of their own volition start it up and play pretty frequently.

When this box would pop up on my screen I scrolled right past it, for at least a year. Until someone posted an actual video of them playing the games that got me doing research. Now I have 1 for myself & sent 1 to my grandchildren. We have been having a blast & finally those boys are tired at the end of the night.

Looking for a video game you can play with your kids this is the one. Set up is very easy and the games don't require you to remember any buttons you use your body to make all the action happen. My young kids love that they can just jump in and play a game with me!

This is a great device , I’m tired of seeing my kids on their tablets and this helps them get up and get active while they play video games . My daughter loves the care bears game and bluey . I do recommend it . I also get to play with them because you can have multiple people playing at the same time . It reminds me of the Wii system .
