My only worry with this is when the console gets to end of its life span and we get stuck with 5 games. I would rather be able to buy the ones I like and be able to keep them.
They love Tumbo Bots the best which isn't a freebie unfortunately. So you'd want the gamepass. We've been doing the games once or twice a week just to do something more active. I like the workouts too adults can even do. Of course Minecraft & Roblox is their favorite thing, but it's fun to have the variety. The competition games are fun for a family game night too.
Fruit Ninja has recently been added to the original 4 ( although initially only as a single user ). They are working on multiplayer and no bomb modes. Starri is an exceptional dance game for 1 to 2 users. The Play Pass at $89.95 per year adds another 20+ games. + whatever releases come monthly. It far exceeds the Wii and even the Microsoft Kinect. Very much run for ALL AGES.
Hows the body tracking compare to the Xbox Kinect? We have a kinect and i bought this for my 5 yr old daughter hoping the tracking would be a little better. Great review 😊
@bradleybaerII we feel that it's more responsive than the Kinect. I hope you have a blast!! We posted some new games on Shorts and our Instagram too since this video was published. The new games are fun 😊
This is better then all the games out there my autistic son 14 has had his since January and do get the yearly pass all the games are great not to mention they add new games each month so great ! ❤❤❤ This product great for a rainy day too
I purchased the Nex Playground to use as part of my therapy after a hospital stay in June. While I am wheelchair bound, getting upper body movement from so many of their offerings has been helpful and fun.
Only a few. You have to do a Play Pass to get them all which is $50 quarterly or $90 for the year. But they do come out with new games, a couple per month.
@johndamjohn it's not perfect, but we played the Wii recently and I still think Nex is more responsive (my opinion). Not saying that just to sell it. Totally up to the person if they want to buy. I'd recommend for people with kids. Wii is more kids and adults.

@@dariusc9780 no there are enough systems which works without this like Steam/Steamdeck from Valve which is free or Amico or Evercade or tons of other Systems Nintendo 64,Gamecube,Sega Mega Drive, Virtual Boy and so on.... Even EA offers the Way to purchase and own the Games beside the Subscription Model...so even EA is more Familyfriendly than this Nex playground Scam
Agreed! Definitely a deal breaker. I would buy additional games of my choice if they sell them like that as another option. I don’t need that many games
Orrrrr.... You could get a used Wii for $50 and extra games and controllers for $50. for a total of $100, unlimited nostalgia, and no subscription service. Do with this information as you wish
We have a Wii too. Both systems are great to have. Sometimes the Wii though can be frustrating with controls depending on the game. I get the subscription frustration though.
Seems like a waste of money. This electronic device isn't going to be forever in popularity and eventually it's going to die out and once it does there's goes all the games and money you spent on it go completely down the drain.

Have you played this before?
congrats on sponsor
@@jeffumbreoncollects thank you. I only work with brands we truly enjoy. 😊

@@Ogremor I do wish they had an option to just buy them individually. Maybe they will in the future. 🤞
Are the 4 included games enough to keep kids interested? Are your kids still into it or are they back to playing Switch or PlayStation or iPads?

So cool I love how compact it is! Looks like a lot of fun!
You and Emily would love it. 🥰
Thank you for reviewing so many games. 😊
Thanks for watching 🙂
How easy or hard would it be to leave this on one game, if I select a game and then hide the remote would that work ?
You should be able to do that just fine. You won't need the remote again unless you want to change the game. :)

This seems like everything the Intellivision Amico wanted to be from the beginning...but they actually delivered a working product
It's a lot of fun 🙂
@@EpicFamilyQuests sure does look that way! Wish I had a family of my own to try it out
Maybe one day or you could try with friends :)
@@EpicFamilyQuests Good idea!!! Thanks

I'm so glad you enjoy it too! We've been playing the new games and the kids love Tumbobots too. Do you have a favorite game??
@@EpicFamilyQuests Family fitness and also looking forward to bowling
@@jerrigatewood8225 we are too! Can't wait 🙌

yeah I have a autistic 8 year old boy trying to find things for Christmas is hard I'm glad to hear your son loves it
Im gettin this for my 2,3 and 4 year old. I dont mind the subscription i hope they love it
Hope you all love it!
Are the games free after you buy the device?
Only a few. You have to do a Play Pass to get them all which is $50 quarterly or $90 for the year. But they do come out with new games, a couple per month.
i was gonna judge that system real hard but when i saw how happy the kids i understood it aint meant for me as an adult
Very true. It's definitely aimed towards kids.
@EpicFamilyQuests yep some kid toys could be fun for both kids and adults but some aren't
Seems like movement is not very accurate in the game.
As long as you stay in frame, it works well. My kids can sometimes go over too much, just being so energetic.
So its a wii... without having to have a control in your hand
Yes, but more responsive and different games. More so to keep you active.
Judging by the video, it does not look more responsive than a wii. Looks laggy.

there are homebrew?

@@EpicFamilyQuests its just jailbreaking the console to make better things with this console, this console its overpriced, but cool
ok so you need to pay extra money to play all the games
good to know its not worth my money
They are coming out with 2 new games a month so their library is expanding. Other game consoles have similar costs.
@@EpicFamilyQuests but you still have to pay money for some of the games so even still its not worth it
@@justindenaro5105 I understand. I do wish it was cheaper.
This is very cool
It's a lot of fun 🙂
064 Barton Spring
It's a novelty
its a demonic dept subscription contract and definetly not for familys without the ability to purchase the games seperately, shame on you.
@@zombos22222 demonic is a little harsh 😵💫 i do think they should have both options though
Every game system requires a quarterly or yearly subscription. That's the nature of the beast now

No they dont what ate you playing@dariusc9780
JUST SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
😅😅
subscription model again! no thanks
I do agree that the extra cost can be frustrating. They seem to be adding a couple new games a month though at least.
Agreed! Definitely a deal breaker. I would buy additional games of my choice if they sell them like that as another option. I don’t need that many games
@@PahNay send them feedback. Maybe they could add more options in the future. I think having more choices would be great.
Thats a big L too me back in 2010 you would need a 300$ console with a 150$ accessorie to do this kinda thing
@@jacobclements1582 What's a big L? Big loss?

I hit the tv
I hope not 😵💫
Wii ptsd
This or a series X’ XBOX…. Ummmm I’ll take the XBOX
I'll take both 😅
THIS IS JUST WII BUT WORSE
The body tracking is way better than the Wii
@@EpicFamilyQuestswii got better games by far tho.
Wow! So you are a fan of Furby Connects too! Noice work!
@@EpicFamilyQuests Facts
I can't agree with you
Subscription 😅 Nah
I get it. But they are coming out with fun new games every month. 🙂
The tracking is lacking!!! Seems like an already visited idea and a sub just leaves an bad taste in the mouth.
Nothing is perfect, but the kids find it fun to play.
Seems like a waste of money. This electronic device isn't going to be forever in popularity and eventually it's going to die out and once it does there's goes all the games and money you spent on it go completely down the drain.
I bet someone else said this about the NES back in the day. Lol you sound like negativity is your strongest feature
Umm might i suggest a college 529 account for each child instead of the thousands of $ of decor and physical media / games stored under the table.
@blackfiree91 what a dumb comment. This is literally 20+ years of game collecting. I might suggest you think before you type something so judgmental.
@ wow 20 years of game collecting could have been tens of thousands of dollars after compounding. What a dumb use of fiat cuckbucks.
