Save 20% On Nex Playground, New Motion-Controlled Game Console For Families

Amazon's Black Friday deal on the controller-free game console is the best discount yet for the recently released Kinect-like device

The Nex Playground uses a sensor to track your motions, allowing you to partake in a variety of dance, sports, and fitness games. You’ll find five starter games included with your purchase:

Whack A Mole Deluxe: Smack the pesky moles as they pop up on your screen.
Party Fowl: Compete in a variety of minigames.
Fruit Ninja: Slice through fruit that’s thrown onto the screen.
Starri: A rhythm game that has you moving to the beat.
Go Keeper: Play as a goalkeeper in this arcade-style soccer game.

The $159 deal is also available at Best Buy and Target. Walmart also had the Nex Playground in its Black Friday sale but has since sold out.

Along with the Nex Playground console and five games, you’ll get an HDMI and power cord to get up and running in seconds. There’s even a camera cover for added privacy. Up to four players can use the system simultaneously, making it a fun party activity.

If you want additional games, you’ll have to sign up for a Play Pass. This costs $89 per year and unlocks over 20 new titles. It sounds a bit pricey, but it does offer some cool kid's games, such as Elmo Says, Peppa Pig: Jump & Giggle, and Candy Land: Sugary Sprint. You’ll also find a game that puts a cool twist on Connect 4 and a unique version of Hungry Hungry Hippos.

If you plan on bringing the Nex Playground to holiday parties this year, there's an official travel case for $25.

Black Friday has also brought deals on Nintendo Switch, PS5 Slim, and Xbox consoles:
