Hey guys! I am Danny, Evelyn at the NintendoCade channel. We were graciously invited
by Nintendo to experience Ring Fit Adventure. Now, we all watched
that video and we were like, "huh..." Exercising on Nintendo Switch, how does that work?
And we are gonna try to find out today. Firsthand experience, what is all about
Evelyn: I'm ready!
Evelyn is already geared up. She has a towel. Evelyn: They provided us a towel and water.
Evelyn: And I'm decked out in Majora's Mask.
Looking very well to workout really hard and maybe I'll pop in and do some work
on myself. I've been packing a lot of weight.
Evelyn: I think you need some Danny.
Uh oh shoot! That's the sign right there when the look has come.
I gotta do something, you hear that guys?
So, we're waiting to enter, I guess the arena, and start working out, and see what's it all about.
we'll show you how it goes, and possibly see what we are going to be doing.
It's gonna be interesting. Alright, stay tuned!
When Danny and I first saw Ring Fit Adventure, we were not sure what to make of it.
But being able to put on the new accessories such as the Leg Strap and holding the Ring-Con
was the start on better understanding what everything was about.
The Ring-Con is used to sense and react to your movement.
Whereas the Leg Strap tracks your lower body movements.
Each device equipped with a Joy-Con monitors and translate your movements into the game.
In a general sense, it is a game that incorporates exercises into the root of its gameplay.
Instead of just basically performing moves and actions that are guided to you in past
fitness games, this one is unique that working out gives you a sense of progression in game
and with your fitness.
All without the monotonous sense working out.
The first thing I tried was the adventure aspect of the game, where I would transverse
an on-rails type environment.
I can move my character by simply jogging in place, move faster by sprinting, and climb
up big steps by performing high knee movements.
I was quite surprise to find myself getting into the game.
Because as you move, there were objects, doors and obstacles I can interact with.
By pressing in on the Ring-Con, I would perform a blast of air.
Pulling out on the Ring-Con creates a vacuum and can be used to collect in-game items.
Aiming downward lets you jump over obstacles.
There were even sections where you encounter enemies, switching over to a battle scene
like an RPG.
Here you engage in Fit Battles.
I would be taking turns with the enemy to attack.
The way to attack is by performing different type of exercises, or in this case a Fit Skill
based on the color of the enemy.
For example, if I perform a Blue Fit Skill, it focuses on my legs, Red Fit Skill emphasizes
arm exercises, Yellow Fit Skill focuses on the core muscles, and Green Fit Skills are
yoga exercises.
I quickly learned that attacking an enemy based on their color with the correct Fit
Skill deals more damage.
There was even a move to defend yourself from an attack, by performing an “Ab Guard”.
I had to press the Ring-Con tightly onto the stomach, and that can save me in a pinch.
I wanted to mention that the Ring-Con feels quite sturdy when handling it.
It feels like an actual fitness equipment.
I didn’t have to worry about breaking it at all.
The cool thing this game have other RPG-like elements like gaining experience points and
leveling up by defeating enemies and completing adventure courses.
Stats like offensive and defensive will improve and will unlock new Fit Skills to play or
should I say to work out with.
With RPG-like elements, I got a sense of accomplishment and progression.
Above all else, I was sweating, and my muscles feel the burn without thinking I was exercising.
There was a neat feature called “Quick Play: Simple”, which are quick exercises that
focuses on specific muscles.
Danny was put to the test with the Pectoralis Major Challenge.
He had to press in on the Ring-Con as fast as possible within 20 seconds.
Then I got my turn, I came to realize the challenge was real!
I certainly could not beat Danny’s triple digit.
The sense of competition and camaraderie can drive anyone to do their best.
Ring Fit Adventure also includes a host of minigames that encourages you to have fun
and move your body in different ways.
We got to play one called “Robo-Wrecker” It is sort of whack-a-mole but involved robots.
Here, I’ll let Danny demonstrate.
A neat feature is the ability to use the Ring-Con to exercise when you put your Nintendo Switch
to sleep.
Doing different types of exercise of your choice up to 500 repetitions per day
will be recorded to the Nintendo Switch earning you experience points.
We just got out of the event, what do you think? How you feel?
It's great! What we saw on the video, and if you experience it, its totally a different thing.
Evelyn: I think we did for about 45 minutes Danny: About and hour. 45 minutes to an hour, yeah.
Evelyn: I did sweat. Danny: You sweated, I actually sweated myself too!
Danny: With doing a couple exercises. It was quite a surprise.
Evelyn: Yeah, it's surprising because there is a lot of things besides, its not just about doing exercises.
There's minigames, there is customize, there is a lot of things. I am considering getting it for my mom.
Because there is other options that is available there. Its fun!
The funny thing is that you don't feel like you are exercising. That is the strange thing I have to
say myself personally. I am not a fitness guru myself. But I can tell you, I didn't feel like laboriously working out
In a sense that I feel like, awww..I have to do an exercise. Now this is actually a game
A game that makes you take your mind off of exercising itself. Which is not a fun activity, They did make it fun.
Evelyn: Beacuse Danny wants to beat my record, that's why. And he is like, " I can do it!"
I was pumping really hard my muscles and I actually feel the sore.
Evelyn: Yeah, you set the new record for many of the minigames.
But, we did get some cool goodies, Nintendo was gracious enough to provide to us at the end of the event.
Evelyn: I got some snacks. I don't know if that's healthy.
We burned the calories and now we getting some snacks. Look at this!
It's all good, that's all for me, and you guys know I love sweets.
I got the gummy bear for you. Awesome! Dark chocolate, Yougurt covered cranberries.
We got to drink some shakes. Very healthy shakes. full of like celery, and kale and all that good stuff.
But, it was great! Yeah.
And whats the creme of the crop?
With some gifts, we got one, this. I got one, Danny got one.
Yes, we both got one each. So, really awesome bag. Nice to travel with that.
Alright, and its of course it's Nintendo Switch branded. which really is a icing on the cake. Right?
I am digging that, that's my first time seeing that.
And, as a workout, we got a Nintendo Switch, really high quality water bottle? Right?
Evelyn: Yeah, its like a thermos, oh its a thermos. Double wall, vacuum, insulation
Okay, so it keeps your drink, I am assuming cold. Right? Yes, now that is hot!
And it has a handle on top. So there you have it. We have a bag and a thermos.
Alright!
Evelyn: Alright Danny, this is for you ready to workout.
