Open Nex Playground to Third-Party Developers
I think Nex Playground has the potential to become much more than primarily a children's gaming platform. I'd love to see Nex consider releasing a third-party SDK and creating an official app store/marketplace for independently developed games and applications. Nex could maintain control over quality, security, and content through an approval process, while giving developers the tools to take advantage of the Playground's unique motion-tracking and camera capabilities. I think this could benefit Nex in several ways. Third-party developers could create experiences that Nex doesn't have the resources to develop internally, including fitness, music, educational, party, and more "grown-up" applications. That could broaden the Playground's appeal well beyond its current primary audience. More importantly, an app marketplace would create an additional revenue stream. Nex could take a percentage of sales from third-party applications while continuing to offer its existing subscription model. It could become a virtuous cycle: more developers → more applications → more reasons to own a Nex → more customers → more incentive for developers to participate. The hardware is already interesting. Give developers the tools to see what they can do with it, and I think Nex might be surprised by what they come up with.

Walk It Out
There was a great game on the Wii called ‘Walk It Out’. It was a gentle fitness game where you walked around in a virtual environment, keeping time to songs of varying tempo, collecting coins, and using your earnings to expand your virtual worlds. I think the mechanics of the game could be easily implemented on the Nex Playground, and a “Nex version” would be a great “grown-up” game to add to your library. Thanks for your time.

becomes super boring when you get 3 stars on all levels, so i think this needs some more "super hard" and "insane" levels.

i love the splash lagoon and cannon cove parks. i think warehouse needs some more stuff, it's just normal jumps. also, splash lagoon should have maybe 8 slides in total? and maybe expand the park a bit. for cannon cove, the cannons on the upper level need to be firable. this is also too simple, maybe you could make a feature where you could fire yourself out of the cannon? this game also needs more levels, just 3 becomes boring after you've tried them.

NexGym Struggles with Afros
I have an afro and have noticed that NexGym will often try to correct my form with overhead exercises when not needed, e.g. suggesting I place my elbow by my ear when my elbow is near my ear. This doesn't happen when my hair is tied back.

Hiding songs
Can you please add a feature to the Barbie dance game to hide certain songs, like how Starri has? And could you add that feature to any other games that come out that have song selections? Thank you!

Bluey musical statues difficulty
I wanted to offer a suggestion that the Bluey Musical Statues have a higher difficulty level option. My kids love the game but they are older, so the delay between the freeze and Bandit looking to see how still the kids are is a bit longer than ideal. The current difficulty level makes sense for preschool kids, though.
