This looks cool - but it would be 100% cooler if it was just a wearable, that I could customize to use with other games - for instance, World of Warcraft, punching to initiate an attack, and different motions to use items, 'click', etc.

I can't imagine using the wearable very much if the game itself isn't compelling - which, from the movie, looks a little wack

I agree, it would be awesome. Thinks like virzoom bike controller are pretty fun and unlock unexpected use cases (see https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/5y15vx/elit... for a fun take on that)
Hi there! The footage in the KS video is just beginning of the kind of experience we're building with out game. Beyond that, we're definitely open to opening up our hardware to 3rd party applications and developers to enable a broader set of experiences with added resistance and exercise impact :D
