Quick Look: Ring Fit Adventure

Motion controls always make for great Quick Looks. Thanks, Beasties!

I never thought this'd be one of the games that sells me on the Switch.

That can't be Abby from Brooklyn, she's too swole

the muscles! Swole factor 11!

Does anyone know if this has a calorie counter in it?

Now go take a shower Abby!

@ghost_cat: It estimates calories, and it's just a neat thing.

the 1st time i saw this was during its announcement. But seeing it now this sure looks Dope. Nintendo has their moment of brilliance, LABO wasnt it

This actually looks really fun! Thanks Abby for showing it off, not always easy to get sweaty in front of folks.

Nice work, Abby!

I literally watched this while eating pizza in bed.

Sweating to the Nintendoldies.

abby showin us how its done, damn

Fascinating to see what’s different in terms of difficulty for folks, Abby runs super fast but struggles with the overhead press and it’s the complete opposite for me where the overhead press and ab stuff is easy but the squats and the fast running utterly destroy me. (Not a dig, just honestly interesting)

This game is 100% legit though, really hope it can crack into the top 10 for GOTY this year.

And folks remember your rest days as it’s ultra important, and if you wanna see maximum gains, supplementing with some protein will help with that for sure.

Would be cool if it included the recipes for the smoothies, so you can make it at home.

Abby is gonna throw Dan in a locker and take his lunch money be so swole

I actually bought a Switch not long after this. Looking forward to owning my first Nintendo console since the 64.

This is funny as hell. Also I think I might be picking this up.

Warm up before, warm down after, stretch at the very end.

@nomiconic: Yeah it's pretty much "do it only if it really makes you feel better but be careful because you can easily overdue it" type of thing. I lightly stretch until my muscles are a little warmed up but don't go nearly as far as I used to when I was younger.

Put Ring Fit Adventurer in Smash.

Abby got secret tattoos!

I really want to try this.

The Switch has been my most played console since I got it this year (and I own a PS4 and gaming PC). Seems like Nintendo might have another hit on it's hands.

This is why I like VR games: having fun while working up a sweat.

Heck yeah, go Abby!

This looks great and I think I'll pick this up for my brother for Christmas. :-D Plus it's making me want to buy a Switch even more now, dang.

I'm glad I got to saw it in action, thank you for taking one for the team, it was a fun Quick Look.

I know lots just do the workouts but is the actual game worthwhile? Seems like they could do more fun games with this peripheral. What a cool way to get people exercising.

@steveurkel:

They say at the end that you should absolutely not buy this just to play a game, it’s for working out

This quicklook sold me on this thing.

Ab Russell.

Enjoying this with a sugary beverage. Like a winner!

abby russel is my buff god.

Wow, they've been chasing a game like this for so many years now. It seems like they finally made it work. Top 10 GOTY contender. I bet Abby turns into that dragon if she beats him.

For what its worth, I'm on my 7th day on it and I've been mainly doing the adventure mode and doing the stretching sets for flexibility and posture, and it hasn't lost its appeal or gotten boring yet, only thing stopping me from playing more is i just get drenched with sweat and have to stop for the day and get back on doing other stuff.

So it really is solid and a light RPG essentially, but you will get tired. Game's been on the top of Amazon's charts for a bit when it came out last month so i gotta imagine it did well enough.

Abby is the strongest giant bomb member.

Thanks for doing this QL!

I love Abby, what a legend.

Cousin bought into this and as been super positive about it so far, actually looks pretty good.

I’m just glad it wasn’t dan that participated. Shout out to Abby!

One things I can say about Abby is she is always dressed for the occasion. More of these please!

OMG, Dan's face when he was doing that exercise had me in stitches.

I'm gunna buy this so I can be a muscle god like Abby, thank you

This game seems legit awesome. I need to get it because I'm a lazy tubbo and this seems like a really good way to warm up to the idea of regular exercise. Thanks for the Quick Look y'all.

Edit: also sick tattoos Abby! Looks like some great linework!

The Ring Fit is round...pizza is round...works for me.

This actually seems really awesome. Not enough to make me go dig the dock out of my closet, but enough to make me renew my search for a good android tv friendly exercise app

Abby Russell? More like Abby Muscle!

Impressive!! This actually does look like it'll give me a good workout. And let's be honest, 80 bucks isn't that bad considering what I pay for my gym membership.

Shout out to Abby for hosting a quick look and working out at the same time! I honestly might pick this up though, seems real good

I've seen those studies (wife is a physical therapist) and I think that's more because it'd be incredibly difficult to PROVE the benefits of stretching, other than studies with people who do stretch vs. don't. But differences in bodies are so immense that it's tough to compare different people, and it's just as tough to say "that injury was DEFINITELY because they didn't stretch."

But I'm a long distance runner and the difference between stretching after a run and not doing so is felt the next day, and it's absolutely immense. I also used to get plantar fasciitis, which Dan has mentioned lately, and extensive stretching of my foot is the only thing that helped. Stretching before exercise is more debatable, and you can definitely hurt yourself if you do it wrong, but generally dynamic stretching isn't going to hurt you unless you seriously overdo it.
