Nintendo wants to make exercise fun again with this successor to Wii Fit on the Switch
"Ring Fit Adventure" will come with a pair of unique accessories, the Ring-Con and Leg Strap.
Both the Ring-Con and the Leg Strap have slots to hold the Nintendo Switch's removable controllers, the Joy-Cons.
Using the motion controls from the Switch's Joy-Con, the Ring-Con can track your movement and the amount of force you use for different actions.
The Leg Strap will also track your movement for running and lower body exercises.
Ring Fit Adventure will require a few square feet space of space in front of your TV to play, but it's designed to be easy to share.
In Adventure mode, players guide their character through a pre-determined course by running in place.
If you're worried about making too much noise running indoors, "Ring Fit Adventure" also has a silent mode that will let you move without a full running motion.
You'll encounter some obstacles along the way, but push the Ring-Con towards the floor to jump over them. You can also thrust the Ring-Con forward to fire a gust of wind in front of you.
Occasionally you'll encounter enemies, and you'll have to execute specific exercises to beat them.
You'll work your way through different stages on the map, each of which has its own challenges.
Each level will give you an approximate completion time and number of calories burned. Completing stages will level up your character, giving you access to tougher challenges.
Quickplay will let you chose from a number of different modes in "Ring Fit Adventure." In simple mode, you can choose a single activity to practice.
Mini-games in "Ring Fit Adventure" offer a variety of simple tasks that can become a casual exercise routine.
Sets mode will let you target specific muscle groups the same way you would with a traditional workout schedule.
"Ring Fit Adventure" will be released on October 18, 2019 for $80. The game will include the Ring-Con and Leg Strap accessories. You can watch the full seven-minute breakdown below.
