- Nathan S.2024-05-24Super active fun for the whole family
This thing is awesome! Our 6 year old cannot stop talking about it. I don’t usually like him to play games but this one is active and makes him move around a lot. There are a lot of different games that is also fun for adults to join in. The device itself is compact and very pretty. Super easy to set up and the controls are intuitive. They are also continually coming out with more games, and we are excited for the games coming soon this summer. Highly recommended!
- Dingo2024-05-29Simple device to get your kids moving and grooving
Nex Playground is an innovative and simple motion tracking gaming device made for kids and families. I was introduced to Nex Playground by a parent in my daycare. Initially I was looking for a video game that I can play with my son that doesn’t involve violence and adult themes. However, Nex offers much more than just PG family fun. It also gets you moving and grooving to its vast library of music. Our son is not only finding new ways to interact with TV, he is getting exercise. The unboxing of Nex was simple and pleasant. It came with everything in the box so you don’t need to buy more cables or batteries. The remote control is even rechargeable. The actual gaming unit is surprisingly small. The box is roughly a 10 inch cube but the actual device is only a 3 inch cube. Setup is also very intuitive. Like many other devices today, it doesn’t come with any instruction manuals. You just plug in the power and HDMI. A button press on the accompanying joystick will get you to the WiFi setup menu. If you have the Play Pass, you will instantly have access to all the games available. (A Play Pass was provided to us for free) Everything just works right out of the box without figuring things out. At the time of this review, the Starter pack has 4 games. 22 titles total when purchased with a Play Pass. The main menu also says that 7 games coming soon this summer. Whack a Mole deluxe is challenging and a good arm workout. Hand tracking is a little slow for fast precise movements. The concept is simple but the developers put surprising amount of depth in the game to keep kids and adults engaged. Later levels features moles with multiple hard hats and fire that can burn your hands. Goal Keeper is a basic but challenging game. As the name entails, you are a goalie that protects the goal from soccer balls. The game starts with a teenage boy kicking one ball at a time at you. But gradually it becomes a battle between you and a monster robot with multiple cannons for arms that shoots multiple balls at the same time. Starri is your rhythmic motion game. Expectation was low on the song list but surprisingly it had a huge song library. Artist includeds Dua Lipa, Imagine Dragons, Lady Gaga, One Republic, etc. I didn’t go through the entire song list but it had your chart topping pop music, electronic music and even bunch of Chinese pop songs. It’s much more than expected. The fitness program is surprisingly well done. It’s much more than just some basic arm motions repackaged in a fitness form. You can start a profile, pick from one of 50 exercise programs and setup a monthly plan. Other than upper body, you will follow an instructor on doing squats, lunges, sit ups, jumping exercises. You can even workout with dumbbells. Overall, this is a much better program than what came with the Xbox Kinect. I was most excited about playing the tennis game. As you can imagine, your hand is the racquet and you swing it to hit the ball. However, the hand tracking is not very good in this game. Backhand doesn’t register half of the time and forehand registers late. I think some update to tracking is needed in this game. Nex Playground is a reimagining of the original Xbox Kinect. It’s simple to use and fun for the whole family. I would highly recommend this device for a family with children.
- Alice2024-05-28Great console to share with friends, interactive and fun
I've been really enjoying this game console, and I think it's perfect for all ages! The interactive nature of the games keeps everyone engaged, from kids to adults. We also took it to a friend’s place and had a super fun time together. The graphics are adorable and bring a lot of charm to the experience. Plus, the games themselves are incredibly creative and inventive, offering a fresh take on fun. Whether you're playing solo or with family and friends, this console provides entertainment and is a great addition to any household. We particularly enjoyed the mini games which were surprisingly challenging and made for some good laughs.
- Zach Stevenson2024-06-04Easy, Fun, Family Oriented, and Active!
The Nex Playground is an incredible gaming system that is unlike any other. The games are fun and engaging, without being too complex. There is minimal learning curve, so the family can play games right out of the box. I love that there are built in games that we can access immediately. My kids got a taste of the game Party Fowl on iPhone and are excited to play again on the Playground. We couldn’t be happier with our purchase!
- Jocelyn H.2024-05-30Easy to Set Up, Fun Branding, Variety of Games for Both Adults and Kiddos
Super fun, easy to set up, and well designed! Got this to play with friends & family and set it up via my projector. Took less than 3 min to set up, with clear instructions on a cute illustrated booklet. The branding is very personable and fun, and the device is portable- in case we want to bring it on vacation. It includes 4 built-in games, and each has a tutorial demo. The game STARRI is fun for all ages while the game WHACKA-MOLE is good for kids. Overall we enjoyed the game time and found it very useful for parties and gatherings. Highly recommend!!
- GloGloBookStore2024-06-04Excellent Technology | Good Family Fun!
The Nex Playground comes in Apple style sleek packaging and is a small cute looking cube in fun pastel colors. No set up necessary, truly a plug and play system. The remote is only for navigating menus and selecting options. It's nice not to have to hold or wear any gear while playing We tried with 2 players and it tracks both accurately and responsively. It also knows to ignore other people in the background even if they make similar gestures. The games are good for all ages and engaging. We've had a lot of fun playing just in the first 24 hours of owning it. I can see it becoming a stable in family gatherings.
- AzureSeas2024-05-29Active indoor fun for whole family
Kids have been having lots of fun, finding the various games hilarious and also beating the grown ups more often than not. Great way to get them active indoors, and much safer with less jumping on and off the furniture. For grown ups, this has been an unexpected cardio workout (in a good way, lol)! Looking forward to lots more active fun. This will also be so handy on rainy or smoky indoor days! For setting up, the device was much smaller than expected and set up itself was very easy. We also liked that are no extra controllers to buy (or to misplace around the house)!
- Alex Neumann2024-05-30Easy & Fun Gift For Kids
I bought this to keep my nieces & nephew (ages 7, 5 & 3) busy when I'm watching them. They've been loving it so far! It's nice to have something to keep them active and jumping around, and it's been a great bonding activity for us to do together. I love the design and colors on it, and it doesn't take a lot of space on my TV stand. I also found it really easy to set up myself and the kids caught onto the games really quickly. I think this will make a great gift for other family members too. Definitely recommend!
- Bradley2024-06-20Nex Playground - fun for kids AND parents!
I recently purchased the Nex Playground AI-Powered Game Console and have been really impressed so far. First, the quality packaging and box opening experience were very high quality. The product itself is very sleek and fits well under our TV, unlike some of the clunkier gaming systems we've had over the years. It actually looks really great in our entertainment center, which I wasn't really expecting but has been a pleasant surprise. I was kind of dreading setting up the console, as I assumed it would be difficult and time-intensive but we were playing within just a couple of minutes. High marks for easy set-up! Most importantly though, our kids (ages 2, 4, and 6) have absolutely loved playing with the Nex. Our little two have a hard time with some more complex video games but picked up on the intuitive interface and gameplay immediately. My 2 year old son has been fascinated with playing the Whack-a-mole game and cheers for himself every time he successfully whacks one. The biggest hit with our family has been Go Keeper. My oldest son is a big soccer player/fan, so it was a natural fit for him but all 5 members of the family have been loving it in the past few nights. I was pretty bummed when I had to stop playing to make dinner the other night but watching the little guys trying to block soccer shots was almost as fun as playing. There are a handful of games we haven't even tried yet but so far we've had a blast playing and I'm excited to play even more with our little ones. Highly recommend this system for anyone with kids as it's been a great way to get off the couch and get moving together!
- ThomasB2024-06-27Awesome family fun!
I recently bought a Nex Playground as a gift for my five-year-old cousin, and it's been a huge hit with her! It's a fun way to get kids moving and engaged. It's like a video game system that gets them off the couch, and it's also a creative motivator that they have to engage with. Perfect!! The Nex Playground is super easy to set up – just plug it in and go. We had it up and running at a birthday party in no time, and everyone from young kids to adults enjoyed. The games are easy to learn and entertaining, and it's a unique system that was a hit with everyone who tried it. We have only tried a few games, but there are way more to explore! I recommend the Nex for families looking for fun and interactive ways to spend game nights together. It's a great way to bring some connection and fun into screen time!
