The rumors that gamers are lazy persist. Nintendo apparently wants to put an end to this for good and has launched a new fitness game called “Ring Fit Adventure”. Nintendo Switch published. The package comes with fitness hardware and offers various challenges and mini-games that are designed to get gamers really fit.
Big arms through the ring-con?
Admittedly, the idea is a good one: Instead of having to drive to the gym, change clothes, work out for hours and then head back home, Nintendo Switch owners can complete their workout from the comfort of their own home in front of the television. All they need is Ring Fit Adventure, a package consisting of the game software and a Ring-Con.

Such a fitness concept is not entirely new; the Japanese company tried to combine sport and play on Nintendo Wii. The basic idea was clearly drilled out - including the story and the nasty fitness boss. Players try to defeat a villainous and quite powerful dragon in an adventure setting. This can of course be achieved through physical exercise. Ring adventurers should get fitter and sportier with every minute of play.
The centerpiece is the Ring-Con, an initially inconspicuous fitness ring that ultimately serves as a holder for the Joy-Con. The package also includes a thigh strap to which a Joy-Con is also attached. In this way, the controllers record the player's movements and measure the posture and thus the success of the exercise. The Ring-Con can also be squeezed together, just like a Pilates ring. The part of the game in "Ring Fit Adventure" does not have to be convincing in terms of gameplay, but should primarily serve as a motivator for physical activity.

More informationThere is an adventure mode with a solo campaign, as well as a "free game" in which exercises can be planned by yourself and some mini-games that can be tackled solo or against other players.
The story alludes to classic fantasy: a powerful bodybuilder dragon wants to subjugate humanity and bring tough fitness to even the most remote areas. To do this, he has sent his minions, whom the player is supposed to defeat with the help of his magical sportiness and the ring. At the end there is a boss fight against the muscleman himself.
The player is constantly urged to move more: if the character is to walk, the player has to do it that way and "run on the spot". The thigh tracker gets that. Attacks are performed through various drills. A level should last a maximum of 15 minutes. Simple and complex exercises usually alternate, especially at the end of the campaign, players are required to be athletic. Ring Fit Adventure actually gets players moving as a result.
“Ring Fit Adventure” is probably not a replacement for the gym. Depending on your personal training goal, the new fitness game can still have a positive effect on your fitness – but above all on your motivation to exercise.
The complete package "Ring Fit Adventure" for Nintendo Switch costs around 70 euros and is available now.
