Yea no tbh i think Ring fit will get DLC or new free updates since the game is blowing up. No need to do multiple ones cause i really don't think it has potential to be a franchise so quickly. I mean the game is quite expensive and people don't seem to be tired of it already. I do think maybe this can become a thing they use as an argument for next gen.

Nah there is no reason for that. That's like saying no need to do multiple Call of Duty's because one sells so well.

And yea RFA is quite expensive because it comes with the Ring. Obviously future RF games they can sell the game solo and the Ring separately since millions of people will already have the Ring.

Really it'd be a huge missed business opportunity for Nintendo to not take advantage of its popularity. They could easily add another 10+ million RF sales more than they'd get just from RFA by giving players more fitness games. Most people who buy and enjoy one fitness game would be happy to get more out of their expensive initial purchase by picking up more games to use the fitness product with. That's just common sense. They might not do yearly releases, since they've done a couple added features to RF this year, but hopefully they'll give consumers what they want and at the very latest have a new RF game ready for first half of next year, but this holiday season would totally make more sense considering that its very possible whatever Nintendo's major holiday title was gonna be might be pushed back to next year, so the more second tier sellers for holidays they have the better.

When you find a hit niche you don't wait a generation to capitalize on it as you suggest. There is money to be made and consumers to make happy, it'd make no sense for Nintendo not to take advantage of this. Like I said, it's a win-win for Nintendo and consumers who already paid extra to get the fitness product.

My point was mostly coming for you saying they would do a yearly release or start doing so right now when the first game already has production issues and is no where near meeting demand. You don't add to a product you can't produce enough. The ring con is def the reason they have dev issues and you are saying they should sell some separately with a new game but like they can't afford to do that if they can't even make the ones to bundle with the first game.

I mean you're right for the fact they should release a sequel this gen but i think rn they should focus on getting the first one out there. Sequel can wait till fall 2021 tbh.
