Consider it like a simplified model of Microsoft’s Kinect (RIP), with a little bit of the native multiplayer we see from the unique Wii. On this bonus episode, we chat with David Lee, Nex’s CEO and co-founder, about how he went from constructing a basketball monitoring app to probably the most intriguing gaming console options available on the market.
