Nex Playground Preview – A Kick to the Kinect

Multiple Blue Rings

Many of us were around for the launch of the Wii and Xbox’s Kinect. Games that get people moving have been on the minds of many for a while, but it’s never quite felt cohesive.

The new Nex Playground aims to change that, and after an hour of previewing the device, they might have something special on their hands.

With two kids of my own, I’ve realized the importance of keeping them active. I say this being a gamer myself.

Even when the Wii launched, we found ways to bowl sitting down. We gamers aren’t the best at keeping up with exercise. But that is where Nex Playground comes in.

WHAT MAKES THE NEX PLAYGROUND UNIQUE? Nex Playground takes many of the movement-based games we know and love, like Guitar Hero, and lets us lose the controller (aside from the one to make selections), adds a better field of view, and literally gets us in the game.

First, the Nex Playground can fit in the palm of your hand. This itty bitty colorful device looks perfect on your mantle or handing out with your other consoles.

NEX PLAYGROUND GAMEPLAY Currently, are already 20 games available with all types of difficulty levels. If your household has a wide age range, you can find something for everyone, even parents, after the kids are in bed. I would even go so far as to say the Nex Playground could be fun for adult game nights too.
