Discussion Point: Ring Fit Adventure is one thing, but is it your kind of thing?

Nespresso machines can be dangerous

Despite the enthusiastic presentation of the enthusiastic presenters (the guy in particular felt like he was on the edge of something), the seven-and-a-half-minute trailer gave a good overview of the game and the type of experience to which we can expect. .

Essentially, you'll jog, jump, paddle, steal, and squat across twenty worlds to unlock Fit abilities that can be used in RPG-style battles against blobby-colored enemies. You attack and defend with more than 40 unlockable skills divided into four color categories: arms, abdominals, legs and "yoga". Different enemies are susceptible to specific attacks. If you want to defeat these monsters, you can not avoid a full workout rather than just making your favorites.

When you're not fighting, you run in an attractive world on a fixed path between destinations. Squeezing the ring-con creates a puff of air in the game that you can use to pick up objects or jump if you aim the ground. Although fitness is an obvious part of the software, the focus has been on the "journey" that the game will offer. The intention is clearly stated in the press text:

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.

Last week, we discussed Nintendo's willingness to take his cake and eat it with this device. Although Ring Fit Adventure is a fun game, it is undeniable that the software relies heavily on maintaining the form, more than we expected. . It's right there in the name. However, you do not look at a white-faced mannequin, there is color and character to spare, and that is this which is used to hide the exercise and expand the call. The sectioned mini-games of Wii-Fit have spilled over into the main mode and, although mini-games still exist, the heart of this software is adventure. There has been a concerted effort to integrate the "fun thing" into the exercise component.

The upgrade and the RPG style quest evoked the game's light adventure Streetpass Quest the games in the way he took the chivalry and pomp of epic fantasy and juxtaposed it with the daily context of your idiot Mii. Here, Nintendo does the same, but with Wii Fit Trainer. Yesyou go on an epic journey, but you do it in your pants in front of the TV while swinging with a curved ring. Ring Fit Adventure borrows more from traditional games disguise exercise better than Wii Fitsterile approach tends to. Nintendo Land The trailer has also crossed the mind – it may be a mix of light and active gameplay that has triggered a memory.

There are other things next to the main game. Mini-games, fast, simple game mode and sets – there is even a special silent mode if you do not want to annoy the neighbors with your incessant jogging on the spot. It will not be for everyone, and anyone who feels trapped at one of Nintendo's previous forays into the fitness field would be well advised to be cautious, but Ring Fit Adventure seems to be pushing the gamification at the highest level.

Until we try it ourselves, it is impossible to know what will be the success of this hybridization. It's a little strange to see this launch so close to Switch Lite which, although technically compatible from a software point of view, lacks a detachable Joy-Con, crutch for table mode or connection capability with your TV. Anyway, for our part, Nintendo has done just enough to pique our interest in turning our training into turn-based fights with statistics and RPG progression. After having a good time with Fitness Boxing, lessons learned from the Wii era can still produce something unique in Ring Fit Adventure.

We doubt that it is humanly possible to enjoy it as much as the presenters seemed, but we are intrigued to see if Nintendo can successfully integrate a worthy and captivating "game" component with a maintenance regime. Make people forget that they are doing exercise must Be the holy grail of fitness software, but unfortunately, working (if you do it right) is a damn hard job! We can not think of anyone who can better distract us than Nintendo, but the problem is solved if this Ring-Con is not slung in the wardrobe with our scale balance and our various accessories.
