Yeah I'm not into Nintendo sponging money out of me for useless, overpriced peripherals.
...huh. A Nintendo pilates ring is actually kind of ingenious. Pop joycon tech into each end and you can immediately imagine tons of things you could potentially do with it.
Edit: Just noticed the EA Sports Active-ish band they're wearing, too. This could be awesome. I could absolutely go for a new gamified exercise thing.

One neat thing about this is that the IR camera on the joycon should be able to detect the degree of bending of the ring. So yeah, on top of motion sensors on it and on your leg there will be a bunch of cool things they can do with this. I'm excited to see more.
I wonder if this will become part of Wii Fit Trainer's moveset in the next Smash game.
But seriously, I'm curious to see what this actually is.

Got to animate your body if you want to be in good shape.
If it's got a compelling game attached to it, I will - without shame or hesitation - buy this, lol.
The ideas and concepts behind this are pretty creative and original. Yeah, it's related to fitness as the teaser trailer suggests, but there's an interesting/unpredictable hook to this. It is very much a new ip. Anyways, I don't plan to say anything else. I look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts when it's revealed. Take care.

Thank you for the insight !
I look forward to seeing more next week, always love it when Nintendo gets creative like this.
This is better content than I expect to see on IGN's twitter.
Perhaps the hook Emily speaks about is some kind of multi-player or there's some kind of interesting thing happening on the screen that other people may enjoy and it's not just a Trainer demonstrating an exercise?
There's probably multiplayer? Online multiplayer against people in the world.
Over a mil units sold before the legend of zelda patch isn't a bomb.
It underperformed for the market it was going after in stem toys but overall sales was ok.
I was ready to roll my eyes at this but nope, can't do it.
This is very good.
I think this will be similar to Wii Fit but with an added worldwide competition aspect. Like, major cities or possibly countries competing on who can get the most "fit". And you score points for your city/country by doing well in the challenges you see the people in the video doing.
Only in 2019 could Nintendo encourage an active lifestyle through tribalism XD
Nintendo out here taking the Pilates Ring and adding a controller. what happened to the wii fit board.
Is exactly what I said to myself, but I'm still buying it. I love Pilates rings.
That Switch model is aimed at people who simply want a handheld experience. I dont think families are the target for it. Plus, Nintendo expects people to have many Switches at home.
I get what you mean tho, that is something I pointed out constantly before the Lite announcement: the target audience of a cheaper Switch is the same that might be interested in such games. But by making the Lite not dockable Nintendo made sure both devices are completely different and it will prevent people from buying a Lite and then this new game. They'll know it won't be playable.
I strongly disagree. It is clearly worst Nintendo. Looks like Switch Fit. Hopefully it is a one-off thing and they do not try to push a flop just like they did with Labo. Also, I really wish this thing to bomb as strongly as Labo so Nintendo finalky gets the message that the casual market is on mobile: do the Nintendogs and Brain Trainings there and leave alone the traditional gaming marjet.
if it succeeds, we will see a return of the casualization of the Wii era, and that would be the worst case scenario. The eagerness to revival casual IPs on consooe is the worst idea that Nintendo can have at the moment: just focus on traditional games. I am not even asking to expand and buy studios -which you absolutely should- but at least do not divert resources into casuals.
Labo is amazing conceptually though. Just because something doesn't sell well doesn't mean it's bad, else Metroid and F-Zero suck
I like how they gone full in on the yes this looks stupid with the trailer. Intrigued.
(I mean that in a good way, its a good trailer, its tongue in cheek and self aware of their recent history)

I just wonder if this is going to have a similar reaction to what labo had. I hope it has a more positive reaction and isn't just seen as a gimmick that only 50% of people will like.
For what I care, it could be the new Zelda on the screen, I know that I won't be moving like a maniac in front of my TV. So yes, I prefer labo a thousand times to this crap.
I know what is shown on the video, and sorry, but I know that I won't be doing fitness in my living room with the switch.

Labo wasn't a massive success for them but the idea behind it was great so I'm still quite positive on what this could be. From the amount of people in the room where they're playing and the age group, it doesn't feel like a simple fitness type game, and the listing on cities certainly feels like there'll be a competitive aspect to it. That along with Emily's comment has me rather intrigued.
Hoping the plastic thing doesn't end up becoming a landfill favourite though.
