Everyone knows how successful Wii Fit was, everyone and their dog owned one and it was the first title to really bring exercise and gaming together. Several years later then, Nintendo are back at it with its spiritual successor aiming to bring fun family fitness back to our living rooms all over again. Ring Fit Adventure surprised the community when it was announced just a few months back and today, we finally got our hands on it. As someone who played a lot of Wii back in the day, I was pretty excited to get my hands on the Ring and try it for myself so after playing for around 30 minutes, and watching my family members have their first try, what are my thoughts on this interesting new innovation? Let’s find out! Check out our Live First Play video below:

Initial impressions were strong as I opened up the very well-presented box, to find the game and accessories neatly packed inside. I was instantly impressed upon picking up the Ring itself as it feels very premium and well-engineered. At the end of the day, it is just a ring but something about it feels really nice and it feels fun to hold and engage with. Upon booting the game, I was greeted with a few menus which told me how to use the ring to navigate the game. These navigation methods are alright but I did find them to be a little hit and miss at times so its nice that we can still use the Joy-Con to navigate the menus if needed. Onto the actual game then, each user can have their own progress through the story and their own stats and lists within the workout modes. This is pretty cool as you can easily see how your family is progressing in game and getting fitter. The main mode is Adventure and it aims to blend classic gaming with fitness and so far, I've been pretty impressed with what I've seen. I'm hoping there are a few more gameplay elements and more of a story but ill have to keep playing for that! Exercising with the ring feels surprisingly natural and it doesn’t take that long to get used to which is something I was worried about. Overall, im really liking Ring Fit so far! I will have my review released by the end of next week so make sure to keep an eye out for that.
