Ring Fit Adventure has sold over ten million units worldwide as of March 2021, becoming one of the biggest successes on the Switch. So what’s next? Will there be a sequel at some point? Nintendo president and representative director Shuntaro Furukawa was posed this question during a recent shareholder Q&A. Furukawa noted that console’s strong demand in Japan and overseas along with Asia. “With regard to future developments, I cannot disclose specific plans, but we would like to take various initiatives so many people continue to play this title.”

In March 2020, a free update was released which brought a new rhythm game mode to the title. Whether Nintendo is planning new content or even more updates remains to be seen but not wanting to reveal “specific plans” could mean something bigger in the works. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

Leave it to Nintendo to create that odd thing that somehow, someway just works. Near the end of last year saw the release of Ring Fit Adventure. The game was pseudo-sequel, pseudo-reinvention of their Wii Fit franchise in the form of a RPG where you take a ring and battle monsters in various different exercise poses. And it seems the thing has definitely hit a chord. 

According to Nintendo’s latest quarterly earnings, the RPG/fitness hybrid has already surpassed 2.7 million copies since its initial release last October. While that’s a pretty impressive number in and of itself, it’s also worth mentioning the game has also had a lot of stock issues, especially once the COVID-19 pandemic began. A lot of places are completely out of stock and have been for the last few months (there’s none even close to where I’m at, for instance). Once stock begins mass production again, I imagine sales will spike even more.

Ring Fit Adventure is available now on Switch, though good luck finding a copy.

RingFit Adventure was unveiled earlier this month, and it was… well, it was something. The game is a pseudo-continuation of the Wii Fit series that Nintendo created during that era, though instead of a straightforward fitness game, it was an RPG driven by fitness. It’s a weird duck however you want to look at it, but today we got a trailer to kind of break down what to expect.

In an eight minute trailer, which you can check out below, we get the lowdown on the game’s Adventure Mode, which is the main single player experience. We also see the ‘Simple Modes’ that include more straightforward mini games and custom sets based around fitness regiments. I can’t say how fit this game will actually get you, but it does seem like some of these will get the burn going for those who get into it.

RingFit Adventures will launch October 18th for the Nintendo Switch.

Earlier in the week, Nintendo teased that a new “experience” was coming to the Switch. While the video released was absolutely fitness based, boy oh boy, did it not end up being exactly what we were thinking. While RingFit Adventure is fitness based, it’s set to the backdrop of a fantasy RPG as opposed to a new straight take on the Wii Fit franchise.

In the video release, they highlight some of the game’s story where you must battle against an evil bodybuilding dragon who has revived and threatens the world. You move and attack through exercise, using a leg strap and a Ring-Con. If you’re more interested in just the exercise, there are various minigames and quick plays that are focused solely on that aspect. So, essentially, it’s a Wii Fit Trainer RPG.

RingFit Adventure will launch October 18th for the Nintendo Switch. The package will include the full game, as well as a leg strap and Ring-Con. As of now it’s unclear if this will work with the upcoming Switch Lite revision, but it seems that it will not as it requires the use of detachable Joy Cons.
