On this day six years ago, Nintendo released Ring Fit Adventure for the Switch. This quirky, spiritual successor to Wii Fit, with its equally strange gimmick controller, went on to be one of the Nintendo Switch\u2019s bestselling games, with over 15 million copies sold as of March 31, 2025. So, where\u2019s my Nintendo Switch 2 edition? Or better yet, where\u2019s my sequel?<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve said it before, and I\u2019ll say it again: fitness games are my jam. As someone who\u2019s never been good at sports and finds slotting regular exercise into their life difficult, adding an element of gamification honestly helps me to increase my activity, and Ring Fit Adventure is designed to do exactly that. Using the slightly unwieldy but surprisingly effective Ring-Con, you perform various exercises to fight monsters in an RPG format, all while meeting your health goals.<\/p>\n
Although its sales data might be slightly inflated by its inclusion in console bundles with the Nintendo Switch (and a certain global pandemic), Ring Fit Adventure\u2019s commercial success makes it the 13th best-selling Switch game to date. This ranking lands above games like Minecraft, Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Arceus, and both of the Splatoon games on the Switch.<\/p>\n
