Anyone have experience with this gaming system.
Thinking it may be fun for our family of 4 (2 young teens), but I have never seen it in person or talked to someone who has.
Not sure if it’s age appropriate or actually good. We like simple dancing games and motion games and still have the Wii out, but don’t like things talking to us like children or similar infantilism.
I saw it due to the IGN article and thinking of getting one for a 5yo. I wouldn’t think about it for someone above 8 though, if they can hold a controller there are very high quality games.
I could be wrong but it seems like a lot of their big name games are exclusive to their subscription service. I suspect this thing will be a brick in a couple years when the company goes under and services shut down.
At this price point, just get a switch and have access to a massive library of games, with quite a few encouraging active play.
Switch doesn’t seem to offer the physical interaction. Our go to for gaming is Steam PC w/ Xbox, backed up by Wii for the physical games and Nintendo musts.
So, basically, you become the controller? I’m curious to see how this hashes out, but so far, this looks like Microsoft Kinect with a subscription service. That combination… doesn’t sound great, to be perfectly honest.

Sub for any gaming related content!
Rules:
1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Looking for something with a dance pad vibe.

My 11 yo loves it. I dont think there is a huge selection of games though.
Thanks for the feedback, similar age. Lots of play time?
Interesting. Something that specializes in motion gaming is a nice idea. If you get one report back how it is.
Will do.
