I have an active job right now so I get 15,000 steps per day but once I get promoted into a more sedentary job this IP would be perfect for me to stay in shape
Happy to see relatively few dislikes

In general the reception seems to be quite good.
I wonder if they'll release more "Ring Fit" games. Ring Fit Sports, Ring Fit Shooter...

It's from the Miitopia/1-2 Switch/Labo team.

Now you're just moving goalposts to explain your rhetoric. Plenty of Nintendo games don't sell over a million units.
Damn, that guy's face. It's like he's in agony, lol.
Anyways, this should be at least moderately successful. Better than Labo, that's for sure. Who knows, this might even have the potential of becoming a hit, but not a Wii Fit.
The first kit sold one million unit which was what they forecasted for it. It didn't set the world on fire sure, but meeting sales expectations seems succesful enough lol.
Don't know if we ever got sales results for the later kits, I'll give you that.
That wasn't even my rethoric lmao, i just said Labo wasn't a success, of course many of Nintendo games have failed to sell over a million but how many of those got as much marketing push as Labo, and were those games even considered a success? i don't think so, i honestly don't know if Labo made its budget back, but as a Nintendo product it wasn't a success.
I hope new sites ask to Nintendo if they are planning use the pilates ring for other games. WarioWare is beggin use them goddammit.
I wonder if it'll be possible to buy the ring on its own and the game itself digitally.
I went fully digital part from BoTW and dont want to stop now.

My biggest concern is whether it will actually work so I'm looking forward to hands on previews.
We didn't get results for other kits because they failed to sell a million unitss on the fiscal year at least we know that.
Lol whoops. You're right. Another poster said it bombed.
But I think people overestimate how much they spent pushing Labo. Their marketing budget didn't shoot up during the Labo launch. And I think people confuse the rhetoric of forum goers with Nintendo's internal expectations.
Oh most likely.
More casual audiences hate reading subs, thats why dubbing is better in those cases.
I need to see what voice actors they chose in the spanish one, hope they are professionals instead of smash anouncer levels of bad lol
Edit
The male voice is the voice actor of Brock from pokemon in Spain hahahah the female voice actoe is also famous. Good job nintendo. If only you could do the same with the smash announcer.
poor Wii Fit U
anyways i hope Ring Adventure does better than those two
As someone who found that eminem song to dark and creepy as fuck, it is after all a song about suicide and homicide and killing your girlfriend/wife whatever - it's been a while since I've listened to it, doesn't it seem a bit insensitive to throw around the term so freely and positively?
The term "Stan" comes from his song doesn't it (that's what google said at one point when I did a search a little while ago)? Being obsessed over someone to an insane and dangerous degree, like the Stan person in the song?
No idea. Did he get upset at the use of the word 'stan'? Can't have been 'fitness queen'? lol
you know it's like a generally accepted/prevalent term now that's become mostly disassociated from that song at this point, right?
They look like the classic horror couple that sacrifice their newborn baby to Satan.
Dude could pull off a sick Waluigi cosplay...
I've honestly never come across it much until the last few weeks... and when I googled the term, to see if it meant what I imagined, google said, yes it's from the Eminem song Stan, and took the meaning of the deliriously obsessed fan, and is used as an adjective to describe someone obsessed with something.
I just always found that song to be very disturbing. And it's ironic seeing the term that is derived from that song to be used in a normal manner when it was such a dark song.
It doesn't mean obsession so much now as it means loyally following someone/something.
Well it's not like we know internal Nintendo's expectations so what's the point? and we know the other 2 kits did way worse than #1 so it's hard to imagine they were satisfied by Labo in general, VR we don't know enough yet but it looks closer to the other 2 kits rather than the first.
I never said otherwise!
I just meant working out while playing a game probably isn't for me. Plus I already go to the gym 3 or 4 days a week.
Labo's big push was limited to that initial reveal video and some sporadic advertisements when it first launched- it certainly never got the marketing blitz that some here are prescribing to it.
Echo Fighter would be a waste of this character- with the ingame moveset, there's more than enough scope for her to be a full fighter in her own right.
The real gray area about that is they don't report programs as sales, and they opened a lot of LABO programs for schools in Europe and the US. Not that it makes a difference really on sales numbers, but I'm getting the picture that after LABO didn't light the world on fire they just pivoted it as something else for mindshare.
I actually really really like this. I've been meaning to pull the Wii Fit U out of the closet but this looks like it will be more fun. I like that Nintendo continues to keep a focus on fitness and health, one of the few companies that legitimately uses it's medium to push for a better standard in a very sedentary medium. Tying the concept to a little RPG lite system is brilliant.
The VR kit was the best selling VR game for the year so far. And you're basically saying we don't know so I must concede you're right....which makes no sense.
Also, this. Which was my main point.
Ah, so my hunch on the similarities to Miitopia was right! Hmm, hope it's still possible that we might get a new Mii game from them too, though... It needs to happen!
Glad it bombed in that I was able to get the board and game for $20.
