It is a motion controlled console developed to provide families with an indoor active play opportunity.
The remote control connects to the console via Bluetooth and is used for initial setup and game selections.
The Nex Playground console comes with a bundle of 5 games, including Fruit Ninja and Starri.
Retail partners including Target, Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy sold out of consoles and customers waited for small restocks to be able to purchase the game.
Simon Hill of Wired gave it a 6/10, praising the device's design and motion tracking capabilities, but criticizing the limited library of games.
