(Last week, we gave youour first impressions ofRing Fit Adventureand discussed whether it will be able to distract us from the drudgery of regular exercise. Today, we’ve put together a short video to give you a more visual idea of how the game works up a sweat.
Please don’t judge my exercise form too harshly. Working out on camera was not in my official job description.
-
“Letting people see pictures of me exercising” was not in my Ars Technica job description. Yet here we are.
-
Doing my best “Link with a bow and arrow” impression.
-
Nintendo’s lamaze classes leave something to be desired …
-
OK, in this improv game you’re going to pretend to drive a car …
-
How I look after a particularly successful bowel movement.
-
And twist. And squeeze. And twist. And squeeze.
Stick around all the way to the end of the video, too, to see our quick examination of how (Ring Fit Adventure) compares to a real Pilates ring (which does not interact with your Nintendo Switch in any way). I had to lie down on the ground in a New York City park to film this portion of the video, so I really hope you enjoy it.
-
The new hula hoop?
-
The Switch Joy-Con slides in quite easily.
-
This thigh strap kept sliding down my leg as I moved, no matter how tight I cinched it.
-
For some reason, I find it hilarious how much bigger this box is than the actual Switch system itself.
-
Finally, a dragon that can give you body-image issues.
