You don't even realize what the next generation of gamers is used to.
Negs playground beats the poz playground we are winning chuds.
Mostly phone games.
>>730032136Saw one on Walmart recently. It's fucking tiny
Does anyone else feel like this thing made the most unnatural appearance into existence? Like it just suddenly appeared at the top of sales lists one day and teleported into thousands of people's houses.
Kirby Air Riders, directed by vidya legend Masahiro Sakurai (Kirby's Dream Land, Kirby's Adventure: The Story of the Fountain of Dreams, Kirby Super Star, Super Smash Bros. 64, Smash Melee, Kirby Air Ride 1, Meteos, Smash Brawl, Kid Icarus Uprising, Sm4sh, and Smash Ultimate) exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 released on November 20th, 2025?
>>730032136>>730032510Literally what's up with this? Redpill me on this. All I heard is that it's like the kinect and can play fruit ninja, and it's cheap, like 180
>>730032626Kids born in 2017 are not asking their parents for a $450 system to play a $70 remake of a game from 2003, much less any of the other games. Roblox has every free game they want and they don't even have to install anything.
>>730032510>>730032702It's a Kinect clone and heavily advertised on social media that you don't engage with. It's also half the price of every other video game system and has tons of popular IPs marketed towards children
>>730032510Yeah that's what happens when one evil corporation pays off another evil corporation (youtube) to aggressively market a product to children.
>>730032702A kinect clone that is outselling xbox lmao
>>730032136that a fingerbox or sumthing?
>>730032848>It's a Kinect clone and heavily advertised on social media that you don't engage withIdk. I have two children in my house, my 11 year old little cousin, and a 6 year old we babysit every weekend. I doubt either of them have either heard of this, so I really don't get it. If you are asking though, they do only play Roblox, and they do it on the PS5 or iPad. I don't see why either of them would even want this Nex Playground. The few times I did see it were some jackasses selling them on Tiktok for commission
>>730032136This thing is just the Ouya 2
it looks like an ouya and eyetoy raped a gamecubebased on the number of games, there is probably some n-gage mixed in as well
>>730032510It's existed for a few years now, I think they just finally got the right storm of circumstances near the end of last year. Tech shit is expensive, NEX is cheaper than other consoles (especially given everything got price hikes). Xbox shot itself in the foot. It takes up little space due to being one box with no controllers. It's kid-friendly without being a den of scammers & pedophiles like Roblox (which was made much more publicly known last year even though it's been the case for a while).I'd never get one for myself but if I had kids or friends with kids it makes a lot of sense to pick up. A good version of Fruit Ninja alone would make it fun for me to try out for 30 minutes at least, and that's one of the pack-in games.
>>730032626Which is the semen meter?
>>730032136Minecraft and Roblox
>>730033412>well *I* haven't heard of it so it must be fake shill astroturfyikes
>>730032702It has links to Apple so it's an astroturfed pysops for sure
>48 games after over 2 years of being out supposedly releasing more every month>all either low effort mobile games with shitty motion controls or just simple motion control games we had already for eyetoy and wii 20 years ago>gets your child movingkids waving their arms around isn't really exercise or a replacement for going play outside. at best they will bunch someone or the tv, hit their hand furniture or knock something down from a shelf. then someone will try to sue>bunch of sesame street games>carebears>bluey>peppa pig>hungry hungry hippos>kungfu panda>turtlesthey are firing on all cylinders to appeal to their target audience so atleast they are seemingly doing something right
>>730032626Is this webm supposed to sell me on the game?
>xbox one died because of kinect>chinese kinect knockoff outsells its successor
>>730032510Parents like it because it's a Kinect which means your kids have to move around instead of sitting on their phone or tablet. It's just a way to get your kids to exercise a bit more and maybe play some silly games with them. That's basically the entire appeal.
>>730032702Just a cheap kids toy that was advertised to parents. No one in the actual games industry had ever heard of it before, so it was shocking when it became the third best selling console in November, beating Xbox.>>730032510Bear in mind that it topping sales charts says a lot more about the absolute state of console gaming than anything else. It's not popular, it's just that no one's buying consoles anymore.
>>730032510that console is a Solar plexus clown glidder, an entity writing itself into history, don't believe all those other anons, they are part of him
>>730032136Can you hack it? install emulators?
>>730034562All they play is Minecraft and Roblox, why tf would they want this?
does it run doom?
>>730036224Hold my beer
>>730035615What would you emulate on it? 360-era Kinect games? EyeToy exclusives? It'd probably cost as much to buy the real deal.
>>730036545jrpgs with buttons mapped to hand gestures
>>730032136why won't people just buy a wii/wiiu instead of that shitcube? it seems to be inferior in every possible way.
>>730036941wii doesn't have bluey or what ever the young kids like
I'm having a kid next year. They will only play video-games I allow them to. Zero Nintendo.I should make a list.
>>730036941The Wii is 20 years old and kids don't want that
>>730037435Do kids want a shitcube in their house? Never heard of such examples. It's usually bought because of parents.
>>730035395>Solar plexus clown glidderu wot
>>730037372>pupils 500% dilatedzamn, she really means itThough I must warn you, your plan will fail.
>>730037372>Average BPD chick
>>730037372>They will only play video-games I allow them to. Zero Nintendo.Don't you mean "TES&Fallout only", Ivan?
>>730032136>I can't let you play that, Dave
>>730037990I would bet that 9 out of 10 kids would absolutely flip shit for a "you are the controller and Bluey and Bandit and Chilli are all there and playing with you" system
current kids play heavily scripted games and then flip out when they can't explore everywhere
I know fewer people are having kids, but man. Kids are still such a cash cow.
>>730038749I don't get why people see this as BPD. All BPD people in my family are angry and manic 99% of the time. If you dare talk over them they will stop everything just to yell at you.
>>730032136apologize to don
>>730039127BPD is actually the optimal woman, it's just that men aren't allowed to physically discipline for shit anymore so the balance is all thrown off.
>>730035395Children and women are the most important markets these day. No wonder everything is retarded.
>>730039296my sister has scared away every man she's ever been
>>730039379literally always been the case, it's just minmaxed as fuck. most companies don't even bother marketing to men anymore unless they're already deeply entrenched. video games being the single biggest form of media is the only reason these big game companies haven't pivoted
>>730032136How will Nintendo compete?
>>730039620right she's probably hot and has all the makings of a good wife, but men aren't allowed to slap her up when she gets out of line
>>730039652>most companies don't even bother marketing to men anymoreBecause it's easy as fuck. Just have a hot woman selling the product, you don't have to do anything. The product doesn't even need to be good. Why as an advertiser would you chase after any other formula
>>730038707>>730038774>>730038749My plan will not fail. I'll... WIN!
>>730039773they don't bother because it's easy? try again buddy
>>730039858They don't bother because despite it being easy men still don't buy as much. Women have been the purchasing decision makers in households for 150+ years and single men aren't a lucrative market in comparison
>>730039827What determines your kid's tastes will be dictated primarily by the tastes of their peers. They will then develop an appreciation of their own based on other factors as they get older and attempt to refine their personality. All you will do by trying to convince them that Nintendo = bad is make them want it more. And then you'll have a literal faggot bing bing wahoo speed running troon on your hands. Don't want that? Then let the kid figure out why Nintendo is for toddlers on their own.
>>730039745well, no. She cooks well, but won't ever clean due to her OCD
>>730038626they are demons that made themselves real by letting others know about their existence, by just reading their name you can be infected, they feed from the negative energy of the people and keep spreading and making themselves more powerful, so powerful that can rewrite the reality itself to make people believe that they were always there
>>730039773There hasn't been hot women in marketing in 20 years
bought my niece one of these shitboxes, and I was astounded with just how bad it was. Fine for a 4 year old I guess, but jesus christ they charge over $200 for this piece of shit and then $90 a year for a subscription that gives you a few shitty games with only a few modes which all amount to the same fucking thing in every game.
>>730040185And Meta Quest 3S is $300 and Horizon+ sub is $70 a year and it includes over 50 games
>>730040164In Infinite Jest there's this guy who is convinced that 99% of people around him are robots and that the reason people freak out when he gets right up close to them to see if he can hear the faint "ticking" sound they make is to protect themselves from being found out by him. You sound like that guy.
>>730040059No thank you. My Dad gave my brother Nintendo and that happened.
>>730040185kek americans will always subscribe to shit that is < $10/month no matter how shitty the service is
>>730033326Modern 'smart' fingerboxes are all plastic trash anyway.
>>730040446he sounds smart
>>730032136...why not just buy a hacked Wii instead if you want shitty exergaming?
>>730032510Yeah guys, my favorite game journalists never told me about this fucking thing -_-
