Ring Fit Adventure
Ring Fit Adventure is an exercising role-playing video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. The game comes with two physical components: the Ring-Con, a Pilates ring that the user holds and which one Joy-Con slots into, and a Leg Strap, a piece of fabric affixed to the user's leg that holds the other Joy-Con.
The game's main mode is a turn-based role-playing game in which movements and battle actions are based on performing physical activities using the Ring-Con and Leg Strap, with the Joy-Con's motion controls detecting the player's movement and a strain sensor in the Ring-Con detecting bending of that accessory. Other modes include guided fitness routines and party-style games. These activities are centered around common fitness exercises, making the game part of Nintendo's "quality of life" goals in line with the game's spiritual predecessor, Wii Fit. The game was released worldwide on October 18, 2019, and received generally positive reviews from critics. As of March 31, 2023, the game has sold over 15.38 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling games on the system.
Demand for the game exceeded Nintendo's expectations, causing shortages in many countries. This led to resellers in America selling the game for over $300, up from its retail price of $80.
Ring Fit Adventure ships with the Ring-Con and Leg Strap, which have docks to hold the Switch's Joy-Con. These accessories are required to play the game, as the player's interactions with them are tracked by the motion controls built into the Joy-Con.
The game's main mode is a role-playing game in which the player takes the role of a young athlete who meets the sentient Ring and teams up with them to take down the evil, bodybuilding dragon Dragaux. The player moves their character across the game's overworld and into various dungeons, where they encounter monsters to fight. Moving across the game world is similar to a rail shooter; the player moves along a fixed path by running in place, jumps over obstacles by squeezing and releasing the Ring-Con, and can fire projectiles at items by squeezing the Ring-Con in the target direction. When the player encounters monsters, the game uses turn-based combat, in which the player attacks enemies by performing exercises, with the amount of damage they deal based on how effectively they completed the exercise. When monsters attack, the player can defend by pressing and holding the Ring-Con into their abdomen for as long as possible during the attack. Defeating monsters earn the player-character experience points, and as they level up, they can unlock additional exercises that deal more damage. Exercises are classified by color, with each color corresponding to a general part of the body the exercise is geared towards: red for arms, blue for legs, yellow for core muscles, and green for yoga positions. Monsters are also marked by colors, and exercises of the same color are more effective against them, but only after that ability is unlocked early in the game.
In addition to the adventure mode, the game includes a general fitness routine mode that allows the player to perform exercises separate from the game. The game also has mini-games based on certain exercises, which is either single-player or multiplayer. An update in late March 2020 added a "Rhythm Mode", which allows the player to exercise to music from the game as well as music from other Nintendo games, such as Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2, and Wii Fit.
The game includes the option to enable only quiet exercises to avoid disturbing others nearby. For example, in quiet mode, the running-in-place in the adventure mode is replaced by performing squats.
The game was first teased in early September 2019 with a video showing people using the Ring-Con and Leg Strap without showing the game, with a full announcement of the game a week later.
