Nintendo officially unveils Ring Fit Adventure, an exercise-based adventure game

Ring Fit Adventure will entice players to explore "a huge world, to fight their enemies along the way," but rather than using Link's loyal Master Sword or Mario's jumping prowess, you'll use drills real fitness.

The ring we saw previously actually called the Ring-Con and, as well as the strap, are accessories supplied with the game.

Ring Fit Adventure reverses a typical adventure game by allowing players to crouch, squeeze and navigate through challenges designed for a wide range of body types and fitness levels. To play the game, players attach Joy-Con controllers from their Nintendo Switch system to the supplied accessories – one to the Ring-Con and one to the strap. The leg strap is attached to the player's upper left leg, while the Ring-Con is held in both hands. The Ring-Con is a flexible electronic device that offers resistance. It has a sensor that detects stress and responds to changes. Ring Fit Adventure can be adapted to the skill level of the player. Thus, even if the players have no experience of fitness, they can adjust the intensity of the exercise according to their abilities. This will allow them to continue each day at a level of activity that suits them.

Adventure mode presented in Ring Fit Adventure takes place in a colorful world where adventure meets fitness.

On the way, enemies will appear ready for battle. Players can attack and defend themselves using more than 40 fitness skills, which are exercises divided into arm, abdominal, leg and yoga categories. The game tells players how to perform the exercise properly, with proper shape and posture, inflicting more damage to their enemies. Each action that the player performs in the game will gain experience for his character in the game, with statistics improving levels and increasing new combat-friendly adjustment skills. Adventure mode is designed as a natural way to motivate players to keep playing and train regularly, progressing in the game world while improving their fitness.

Apart from the main adventure, the Quick Play mode is a great way to enjoy Ring Fit Adventure in shorter bursts, allowing players to enter and exit the game. This allows everyone to quickly train in different ways, for example, playing in turn with friends and family. to mini-games to get high scores. The mini-games cover a wide range of activities, ranging from breaking boxes with bursts of air triggered by the Ring-Con to shaping pottery by performing squats.
