Get fit with Nintendo's new fitness game, Ring Fit Adventure

Tech news 23 October 2019

Nintendo announced that it has launched a new fitness game called the Ring Fit Adventure for the Nintendo Switch that is now available in South Africa.

The fitness role-playing game comes with a number of physical accessories to ensure players get healthy and moving.

According to the company, the game allows users to explore a fantasy adventure world to defeat a bodybuilding dragon and his minions using real-life exercises.

Users will need to jog in place to traverse grass-swept plains, do overhead shoulder presses to attack enemies, and strike some yoga poses to refill their health meters.

There’s the Ring-Con, in which you place a Joy-Con controller, and a Leg-Strap, in which the other Joy-Con resides.

Both encourage the gamer to move to control their characters, while the Ring can be pulled, pushed or twisted, much like resistance training equipment in a gym.

The game is now available at the price of R1299 and includes the physical accessories. However, this game can only be used with the regular Nintendo Switch and not the Lite.
