This game is hard to find anywhere in NZ. I missed the first and second restocks via Mighty Ape but my cart now says shipping tomorrow! Looking at the product they say more stock 13 November. If something sells this crazy, it must be damn good. EB Games and The Warehouse both said sorry we have no stock and no idea when new stock is coming in. I think Nintendo underestimated the demand for fitness in-front of TV gaming. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for my copy to arrive, hope y'all manage to secure one too!

This exercise-focused peripheral might not be for everyone, but if you want to spice up your boring workout with a light-hearted adventure game then the Ring Fit Adventure might be for you. It's a great way to fit in some exercise under the guise of an RPG.

Surprisingly fun RPG; Targets specific muscle groups; Mini-games galore; Can customize workouts

Only works with one game at launch; Pricey peripheral; Ring has poor grip; Novelty factor may wear off

"It's a great game with lots to offer that will result in a near-brutal amount of burnt calories across the gamer world."

This exercise-focused peripheral might not be for everyone, but if you want to spice up your boring workout with a light-hearted adventure game then the Ring Fit Adventure might be for you. It's a great way to fit in some exercise under the guise of an RPG. Just don't expect it to be as effective as the gym.

Overall Ring Fit Adventure is an enjoyable game. If you enjoy games that encourage fitness then this is one to grab. At no point is this a proper replacement for getting out and walking, or more vigorous exercise.

I'm not new to weights, but this game is challenging lol It incorporates cardiovascular activity with strength training and yoga. Also has a nice cool off period with stretching after the game when you want to give it a rest. All this while battling monsters and saving the planet from some big weight lifting demon… Not a bad way to get the kids off the couch!

“Ring Fit Adventure is an ingenious blend of fitness and gaming.”

Story keeps you motivated; A large variety of exercises; Mini-games are fun; Tons of replayability

Expensive

This review is based on a physical copy provided by the publisher. Ring Fit Adventure is available now for Nintendo Switch for $79.99

Excellent integration of classic gaming tropes into fitness; Creative level design; Plenty of informative feedback; Extensive customization and tuning options

Lack of engaging ways to encourage player commitment

Hands down the best work out game ever. It’s great for both beginners and advanced fitness enthusiasts. Nintendo got it right with this game and the resistance ring. A must buy for all switch owners who want to aim and getting fit.

History has shown that Nintendo isn’t shy about inserting gimmicks into its games. Take a trip down memory lane to remember peripherals like the Power Glove or R.O.B., for instance, or look back on much more recent examples like Skyward Sword and its controversial motion controls.
