Gaming isn't just about lying on the sofa and eating crisps. With "Ring Fit Adventure" for the Nintendo Switch, you can really work up a sweat. Simon and I put on the right outfit and try out the new sports gadget.
You really can't accuse Nintendo of a lack of creativity. The innovative 2-in-1 console now has its own sports controller. The Ring-Con and the accompanying leg strap are the Wii fitness board of this console generation. "Ring Fit Adventure" is the first game available for it. It comes with the sports accessory and offers around 60 fitness exercises and an adventure mode.
In order for "Ring Fit Adventure" to track your movements, you put one Joy-Con controller in the leg strap and the other in the Ring-Con - this strange plastic ring. This also serves as a controller. It is elasticated. By pressing it together, you confirm inputs. If you pull it apart, you take a step backwards. Turn and tilt to navigate the game menu. In the game itself, your character marches around with the same ring in their hand. When you press the ring, you create a blast of air. When you pull, you suck in coins etc. You can move forwards by jogging in place. In adventure mode, you run through various levels, jump from platform to platform and fight monsters.
There are also classic fitness exercises that always work in combination with a ring and leg strap. Even if the concept seems absurd at first glance, you'll work up a sweat pretty quickly. You can see just how hard in our Let's Play, for which we put on a matching 80s aerobics outfit.
"Ring Fit Adventure" is available for Nintendo Switch and was provided to us by Nintendo.
We stream every Wednesday on Youtube. You can also check out our Discord channel.

Philipp.Rueegg@digitecgalaxus.chBeing the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
