Why would i get this instead of just buying a used wii or a vr system?
No offense, i thought the Peloton was stupid too and their ads were horrible. I was so happy when i stopped getting ads for that thing.
Waggling the controller with one's wrist was more effective in game and didn't hurt after 15-20 minutes like playing "for real" did. It also wasn't really any more fun than playing with a normal controller—so, fun, but nothing special.
I'd expect to hurt myself trying to get a workout with something like this, based on that experience.
We're working in consultation with boxers and boxing trainers to ensure that the game teaches users proper form. To break through your enemies defences and succeed in the game, you'll need to perform precise, accurate strikes with good technique. In addition, our wearable prevents you from hyper-extending when throwing straight shots, which can otherwise cause injury.
PS as a keen cyclist I have to agree about Peloton. That's why we decided to make a game about punching monsters instead—much more fun!
