This was probably mentioned in a previous comment, but this has vitality sensor written all over it. Wouldn't doubt its corpse was dragged out for the heart rate monitoring function.
I'm sure this will have some market, but wonder if something like this will be drowned out in fitness apps on mobile. Seems like when Wii fit came out their were fewer options for this kind of thing. Now they are a dime a dozen. Probably need to get in on Instagram culture for success (think Beyoncé playing DS).
Also, that's gentleman's annunciation game was on point.

I'm really surprised, but that's good to hear.
The product here looks really polished, as Labo was, though it's really not for me.
I guess it also means that Labo is probably dead, which really saddens me because it was my favorite casual experience from Nintendo since... forever?
You are joking but now I'm thinking about how one of the devs from Iron Galaxy or Panic Button disclosed that they turned away 3rd parties interested in someone making bespoke versions of their AAA games for the Switch and I would be down for Death Strandfit.
Or a Warioware game comes later and the Ring con is compatible with it.
I agree. His soft-spoken, crooked-smiled sleeze was the best part. Hopefully Christian Bale plays him in the movie about his crimes.
You can use quick plays and exercises without the adventure mode.
Ok, doesn't change the fact that, as of now, it's a missed opportunity. I might get it, but I'm sure it's gonna be expensive as fuck here, like $140 expensive probably.
Yooo, at that price I just rushed to preorder it myself. Bargain.
Nah it's not a missed opportunity. If Warioware comes and it's not compatible I'll call that a missed opportunity. New IP's are better.
I'm down for this. They even took into account having to be silent for people in apartments and stuff but can still work out and it doesn't look like a half measure. Still hoping there's a Wii Fit trainer easter egg somewhere but I like this and Wii Fit actually worked pretty well for me while I was in school.
Your overall point is correct but let's not forget people were willing to spend 350 for Wii Fit by itself.
It isn't even Nintendo first getting into this gameification of exercise racket. I already have seen quite few apps on the android store that try to bring RPG and loot whoring elements into exercising. Nintendo is only the first to try to charge $80 for the experience.
For you that'd be a missed opportunity, for me it's a missed opportunity as it currently is, and that's fine.
Yeah, I get that but I wish it had a scale.
I just wanted a new Wii Fit and this isn't that.
I was quite excited to see what they were going to reveal but I'm not going to buy this. I'm sure other will, but I can't see it taking off like Wii Fit did.
Yeah my mom sent me her wii fit cause she never used it. I tried it and then it gathered dust. I think this was a common story with the wii fit. I think some people were hoping it was more than just a workout when that is all it really was. Was a workout and it's felt like for people who would workout for workout sake. Not for those who were looking for a way to Make the workout fun and a game.
This may not be for you and your wife but I'm willing to bet it will hit a note with many people. Probably the same who got bored quick with the wii fit.
Cheesy video but looks like a fun way to get some exercise in after a long day at work. I think I'm sold on this.
Has anyone tried these kinds of rings? Are they impossible to break? And can you change the settings to be a good workout even if you're really fit?
This is the opposite of what I personally want from Nintendo, but fortunately these little goofball peripherals don't seem to distract them at all from delivering the kinds of games I do want, so no big deal and hopefully people enjoy this one.
Read the title at first as RegiFit Adventure for some reason and thought of Reggie
Imagine if it was an RPG with Reggie as your guide, his voice soothing you as you work to ready your body and shed the feeling of being a purple pikmin

First of all.
This dude. Might contest with my Avatar even.

Then some awesome quotes
And here is the twist, Firefraining EXACTLY the same as pilates and deep stretching, but branded differently. It is for men who are too goddamn stupid and stubborn to do pilates.
That's the thing. Branding.

Definitely the OT Title here.
One of the greatest. I loved this game. There was a section in our regular arcade only for weird fitness arcade games that we spent probably more money than otherwise combined.I think I've twigged on the vibe I've been getting from it - and it's a game that, despite me being horribly unfit, I've always loved:
The only arcade game I've ever 1CCed.
If it's a game that can give me the same "Okay, I'm exhausted, but I've just had an awesome time, and I know I can improve if I do it again" feel to Prop Cycle, it's going to be right up my street.
That's a big if, mind!
Era speedrun Challenge.
It is. It is the same thing that my physiotherapist did. I couldn't be bothered with the pilates and deep stretch materials I was supposed to do so she introduced me to something called Firetraining, which I actually enjoyed quite a bit recovering from something.

- Exhausting; will make you sweat
- Large, fleshed-out adventure
"Greetings hue-mans. Look upon our Product and become muscular for our amusement."
This new Black Mirror episode is interesting.
I'm totally in for this. What a cool idea.
Nintendo needs to stop with their pandering delivery though in these videos. I remember in the latest direct they were talking about that Kirby game and said something along the lines of
"You can play solo, with friends, or even online!"
Like, online co-op is some new, fresh concept that we're so psyched about. Even if you try to excuse it as these Directs are geared towards a younger audience, that's almost even worse. Kids expect online play in everything. It's a given. GAH!

Real talk, I've lost 105 pounds in eight months, from doing Wii Fit every day since Christmas.
I'm in constant disbelief that this actually worked for me, and am super curious to check out RingFit. I do hope it lets you make a personalize set though, since that's what I use in Wii Fit.
