My country is ok sometimes, nice.


That launch trailer was great too, looks so good.

It certainly looks interesting

Well therein lies the problem for me first and foremost, definitely been eating/drinking bad lately heh. So definitely have to improve that above all else, but just wondering in terms of a good was to supplement that with real exercise, if Ring Fit would actually make me sweat and feel like a real workout. Based on a review I saw at Gameexplain it somewhat seems to be the case anyway, at least more than Wii Fit, which to me just rarely seemed to actually feel like a real workout unless I totally binged on the jogging and boxing, which sort of got repetitive and boring, thus ruining the point. 

Mind you I had been used to hitting it pretty hard with one of those fan bikes with the moving arms and really breaking a sweat, so I'm used to heavy cardio activity. Ring Fit doesn't seem quite at that high-intensity level but it at least seems mid-range.

Yeah pretty much all the reviews/previews suggest that it'll give you a decent workout and get your heart going, much more so than Wii Fit. Plus the deeper and more varied gameplay should keep it more engaging.

Losing weight and getting fit are two incredibly different things. I can't say much about losing weight as I have never been overweight, but I would say it is as easy as not eating food as often, stay away from fatty foods (oil, deep-fried, packaged stuff, bakery stuff, etc...). It's pretty simplistic and requires the opposite of effort.

Getting fit, though, that requires effort. That is the metric of importance.

OK, I switched from a “might pick it up eventually” to a picked it up at launch. I forgot to note that.

As a note, this is my second favourite original game on Switch.

From watching people it seems this game actually requires some real physical effort which is pretty impressive. I'd totally die if I tried to play this lul.

Worth picking up then? Didn't really want to pay $100CDN plus tax at game launch, but it most likely won't change too much until a long time down the road

Depends, I would probably count myself as one of the top fans of motion and fitness gaming in this community.

The custom and quick mode have a lot of Wii Fit style stuff like Yoga, aerobics, and strength exercises. The ring seems to hit more muscle groups than other similar products: including Wii Fit, Just Dance, and EA Sports Active.

Speaking of EA Sports Active, one thing it did was it made the player run on the spot between exercise routines, and Ring Fit Adventure's adventure mode does this too; IMO, it's a fairly effective way to exercise. Both games have a similar sort of experience in that regard. Although, Ring Fit Adventure is a significantly higher quality product. RFA's ring is significantly more impressive than the resistance cables: not just due to the additional variety of exercises that can be done but how much more fun they are. It is also 100% responsive while EA Sports Active was responsive about 85-98% of the time (depending). Much of this has to do with how much more advanced the joycons are compared to the Wiimotes.

Speaking of the advanced tech in the joycons, there is a brand new feature that I don't think had been used in the joycon before. I certainly didn't know about it. After each level, the game gets you to put your thumb to the front of the controller, where the IR monitor is, and it measures your pulse!
