Also, I’m not sure why I’m reviewing this; I wasn’t even aware it existed until it showed up at my office. It was sent to me from some company in the UK, and a quick look online suggests nobody in America is selling the jOG. Near as I can tell, it’s a UK-only product that costs around 18 pounds ($25 US roughly, once converted). Maybe someone at GDN arranged for it to be sent to me (that would be me -Ed.) and I was just never notified.

And before anyone at New Concept Gaming tells me that I’m missing the point about this product, that it’s a fitness aid or whatever, don’t. You’re selling a roughly $25 device that makes it harder to control, adds no new functionality to any game, and whose primary purpose can be replicated by running in place on my own. I don’t need to spend $25 to look like a moron while playing games when I can do that for free.

But don’t just take my word for it. New Concept Gaming was nice enough to provide a video showing just what a ridiculous product this is, so check it out: here.

Bonus points for the deceptive camera angles that make it hard to tell that Nunchuk input is still required to move, by the way. I promise you, the jOG does not work quite like the video makes it seem.
