Haven't got my copy yet but I'm really looking forward to the first time I am defeated in battle because my irl HP is too low
I'll be picking this up after work, preorder from Amazon hasn't shipped yet, and I'd like to start this tonight/tomorrow. It's too late to cancel Amazon preorder, so I'll return it once it gets here.
Yeah I know but at the moment I didn't have my phone available next to me and found it weird that it wouldn't ask me of unit system first or set metric default because of console country setting
Would this be playable for someone who cannot use one of their hands at all? Like no ability to grip etc? I'm thinking are there accessibility options for having to pull the ring outwards?
Did my first adventure today. Only about 25 minutes, 80 calories. I'm in love with this game so much. Worked up a pretty damn good sweat, too.
Amazon said it was delivered to my apartment but when I got home there was no package for me. What the hell amazon? I want to be ring fit.
Played through the first 3 levels. I really dig this. I can see myself keeping a schedule with it. Especially with the reminders you can set.
The silent mode is great as well as someone who lives in an apartment. Asked the person below me and they said they couldn't hear me playing at all.

Strange, that was one of the first questions it gave me.
EDIT: It was actually the very first question it asked me after calibrating the ring-con, before anything else.

you can swap a lot of the exercises for buttons, but I'm not sure which one specifically. i'll get you the answers in the morning if you're still waiting on them? might be useful for the OP anyway.
Staring at your triceps very strong, stronger than Dragaux, stronger than teflon...yeah I'm bad at this.
Day one inventory of Ring Fit Adventure at the GameStop where I pre-ordered w/ full payment: 0
Cool. Guess I'll go to Target

I've got jumbo monster thighs and the strap fit me. This being a first for any of these exercise games.
Did 1 world
Lord almighty kill me now

It slips like a bitch though.
My legs are already killing me after two. Night time so was doing Silent Mode / Squats.
I finished world 1, 24 mins, Ring Fit said around 70 calories, Fitbit says 243 calories. Heart rate from Joycon and Fitbit matched. From Fitbit, average heartrate of 140, peak of 160.
Edit: 14 difficulty

Y'all...I've made a huge mistake. As an incentive to get to 1k donations for Extra Life this week, I said that if I got to 1k by EOD Monday, that I'd play Ring Fit Adventures, live on my 24 hour stream on November 2nd....FOR THE LAST HOUR OF MY 24 HOURS. I PROCEEDED TO HIT 1k WITHIN AN HOUR OF POSTING THAT. If I hit 50% of my goal ($1250) I said I'd do the entire stream in a Renaissance Costume. Whelp.

Clearing that first world was intense. The game set me to 24 difficulty so I popped that down to 17 right quick
There's a silent mode that replaces all of the running with half-squats.
I actually need to bump up my difficulty after the first world, lol. In better shape than I thought (I estimated that I was in pretty poor shape).
First off the whole presentation of this thing is pretty fantastic.
I go to the gym twice per week and still got a nice little workout from the first few levels.
Good stuff. It's about time Nintendo dropped a weird casual game that works for me.

I did the first two worlds tonight and had fun, but even after a little over an hour and a half of use it only had maybe 40 mins of exercise time in the game. It also said I had only burned about 150 calories (im sure its off)at difficulty level 15. Its fun and I could definitely feel it at points, but I cant say it seems all that efficient with the downtimes. Also I had a good laugh when I saw I was in the top 10 for basically everything globally for people age 33 since I dont consider myself very fit.
The game also scared the hell out of me after I was done and checked my blood glucose and saw 125(high). I'm a diabetic and I use diet and cardio to keep my blood glucose at normal levels without medication I dont know if this just isnt giving me the workout I need compared to my two daily bike rides (i swapped out my evening bike ride for ring fit today), or if its just a fluke (every once in a great while exercising will raise my blood glucose). I really hope its just a fluke because if not it means the game is basically worthless to me since I dont have the time use ring fit if I still have to do my two daily bike rides and ring fit seems like a nice option just to change things up..
Also I have a question about ab guard for anyone who knows, what exactly are we supposed to do? I stood there with knees lowered the way they would be for the chair pose and tried to tighten my abs, but I cant say I ever really felt anything from it. Is is just there to give you a breather like a few of the other exercises seem to be (like the one where you twist from side to side)?

Well that game kicked my ass at difficulty 10. Looking forward to seeing my progress over the next few weeks. Is playing everyday for a bit a bad idea? Do I need cooldown days?
It gave me difficulty 10 because I literally never exercise and wanted a moderate workout.

My GF just gave me a hundo to buy this! she knows i hate exercising so it took little convincing XD
So I'm told when you first boot up the game you're asked if you're in Canada or... somewhere not Canada? Is this right? If so... why? What changes? I don't want to be a polite and honest Canadian and end up turning on some bizarre Fitness for Canadians mode.
This. Got bodied by saying I "work out a little" and setting it to intense. Set up a week of alarms though. Definitely more fun than typical cardio for me.
That makes so much more sense than what my dumb self was imaging jfc.
When I want to jog silently I use a small mat and fold it in half for extra thickness.
