Nintendo Unveils Ring Fit Adventure, a Switch RPG About a Defeating a Bodybuilding Dragon

Ring Fit Adventure Launches October 18th

When Nintendo teased new exercise-focused Switch accessories last week, many likely thought that they were just going to be part of a spiritual successor to the Wii Fit series. However, I doubt any of us couldโ€™ve guessed that the bendy Switch ring was going to be a controller in a new RPG about going on a quest to defeat an evil bodybuilding dragon named Dragaux.

By using the Ring-Con and Leg Strap accessories, players can traverse the world of Ring Fit Adventure and fight Dragauxโ€™s minions in โ€œFit Battlesโ€. Youโ€™ll need to use the right exercise movements to defeat enemies for XP thatโ€™s used to upgrade your character. The story campaign has 20 worlds to explore and more than 40 โ€œFit Skillsโ€ for players to master.

Additionally, thereโ€™s a Quick Play mode that includes co-op mini-games and two other modes, โ€œSimpleโ€ and โ€œSetโ€, that allow players to just exercise. For those who need to exercise quietly, the game has โ€œSilentโ€ mode leg exercises that are designed to be quieter than the default leg exercises.
