Ring Fit Adventure Hands-On Previews and 8 Minute Overview Trailer
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
interested to hear more about this.
I used a lot of wii fit for its free running and free step minigames as they were way more exhausting than any of the other "over in a few minute" experiences. I'm curious to see how (at least the unlockable minigame approach) this stacks up compared to wii fit and even games like fitness boxing and to an extent, just dance

I like the idea behind it, but it all looks so boring and casual from the actual RPG-gameplay and design behind it.
But I guess a more serious and complex RPG with these kinds of controls would not cater to the target audience.
That said, why not make a new Mario RPG with these controls? Could be a great fit. Maybe if this one is a success we get more games.

Oh, so there's a male version of the Ring Fit Adventurer as well. I guess there are gonna be both form & skin tone options in the game.
Still, it's clear that they made the female adventurer first, considering that the flaming hair doesn't really fit the male variant's hair style.

This really does look awesome. I wish it was available digitally with the ring being a standalone purchase since I still have a couple vouchers to spare.
They get flak for not making new IPs and they get flak for not shoehorning old IPs into new types of games. They just can't win.

Since we're consolidating into one thread I'm going to re-post because I feel like it's a mistake especially today to not have different body types for the avatar character...
They need a clear presentation of the move i guess. That also seem to be why these model have a long limb.
Lol that smoothie screen is straight out of BOTW.
Looks so fun honestly!
You said you guess, I'm assuming that person was just confirming it for you.

They always do this, I have no interest in bothering to watch a 2 minute video.

Andre, do you know if there's an option to change from miles to km? T
i don't think it will be interesting,speedrunners will probably not use the fitness move.They will "cheat" with the thing.
There will probably be an "Accurate Movements" category. No way they won't have this at a GDQ at some point.
I do like that there are many additional features on top of the RPG. It would be nice to know if it'll get more content or other fitness games will use the peripheral, too.
That Cnet editor was great hah - that preview alone could sell some copies.
There is a reason why Nintendo prefers non-traditional gaming outlet for these kind of products.
Some reports from Nintendo basically said there would be ~30 hours of content in the story. I think they said if you play an hour a day it'll take you about 3 months to beat it.
That would be incredibly difficult to speedrun with accurate movements.
There surely must be in localisation, Euros aren't going to relate to mile and yards and hands and all that nonsense.

Yeah, I'm mostly asking for the rest of the Americas, as we are all part of the NA region when it comes to games. I don't doubt there won't be an option to change it but I just want to be 100% sure.
Not sure if a speedrun of this game would be interesting with how on-rails the game is. Would be a fun novelty, though.
Oh wow, there's a mode where you can take the ringcon with you away from the Switch and just do squeezes throughout the day, and it will measure/count the squeezes and report back with how much you did and give you points once you restart the game.
That's really cool. I could see myself doing that at the office when I'm bored and want to start fiddling with my hands.

Do we know if the game comes with a cartridge or download code? I'm really interested in this, but if it's something that I'm playing daily or every other day, I could see it becoming a big pain to constantly switch out cartridges; would much rather have it digital (but obviously still need the hardware).

It appears there is a "Multitasking Mode" which allows you to keep using the controller while the device is off. From the sounds of it, it appears like it will function kinda similar to how the pedometer functioned in wii fit u. So nothing more than just "counting" while in that mode. You can use that to earn experience points in the game too
It seems like theres at least 4 minigames too. Shooting Crates, Pottery, Wall Climbing and Whack a Mole
Additionally you can create a set of up to 3 different exercises and mix options with that. I'm guessing something like "squat/jog/squat" and you can add a timelimit to it?
related to this, this preview mentions you can change eye color, skin tone and body type (alongside new clothing):

Thanks for sharing. I wonder why we can't see that in the screenshots.
In regular fitness terms, 30 minutes barely get you started. It should be fine and obviously a little of exercise is better than none at all, but I'd say that if you want to get an actual workout out of it you'll have to push it a little bit further.
A peloton can absolutely kick your ass in 30 minutes. So that's not true at all.
