EternallDarkness Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I have to say I am looking forward to trying this one out. I've always loved the quirky things Nintendo comes out with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShreddieMercury Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 The reception to this has been really positive, and some of the videos I've seen make it look really fun. I can see this being pretty good cardio if you don't cheat the exercises. I'm definitely excited for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternallDarkness Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 gave it a quick test drive, playing through the first...level? 3 sections with a boss fight. I have to say it's pretty cool, and it'll definitely be more of a workout than things like Wii Fit. Not a ton of exercises (attacks) available at the start, squats (hate squats, lol), some overhead ring squeeze thing, yoga chair pose (again working those thighs), and one other I can't recall. The 'running' is pretty accurate with you needing to high step to go up stairways. The only thing that doesn't seem all that accurate is the heart rate monitor thingie. After a battle you can check your heart rate by placing you thumb on the IR plate on the control, but it's way off. My heart rate isn't 53 when I'm at rest never mind after doing some exercises, lol. This will definitely be a fun way to kill 30-60 minutes a day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Am I able to buy just the ring and then download a digital copy? I don't seem to be seeing this option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't seem to be seeing this option? I don't think so. I think at the moment is only comes as a packager with the game, the ring, and the leg strap. I do wonder if the ring will end up being used for any other games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Yeah, at this point I’m waiting for either this game to flop (and I can maybe grab the kit at a good discount) or for it to be a big success and they announce that other Ring games are coming. I would feel a bit silly to drop $80 on this game when there’s a good chance it wouldn’t hold my interest for more than a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for it flopping, while it's still too early to say I kind of doubt it will despite Nintendo's serious lack of any advertising. I noticed that most of the BB in my are only have a few left in stock and checking twitter it seems a ton of people are loving it and many people are complaining they can't find it because it's sold out where they are. Of course who knows how many Nintendo shipped. Also I'd like to see the ring used as a control for other games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShreddieMercury Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Just a heads up - Wal Mart is selling this in store for $69.88. It doesn't seem to appear on their website, but that was the sticker price when I picked it up yesterday. I got the last one, and the clerk said they'd sold out in a matter of hours.

They really like the mini games, which I must admit some of them were pretty dang cool. I think the only one I didn't like was the crazy sculpture one where you use the ring, squeezing and moving it up and down to try and mimic a shape as if you are using a pottery wheel kind of thing.
