Ring Fit Adventure is legitimately a PERFECT game. It’s my second most played game on Switch and there is actually nothing about it that I dislike or would change. It’s an absolutely brilliant concept and works flawlessly. If you haven’t picked it up, I STRONGLY recommend it. It’s a lot of fun and is a great workout.
Yeah, now that you mention it, it’s hard to nitpick anything about it. I guess it’s not good at tracking Mountain Climbers? I wish they added more songs to the Rhythm Game mode? Those are just nitpicks, though, the game itself is definitely worth it.
My one complaint, and I cannot emphasize this enough, my *one complaint*, is that it never got updated to add more exercises to do. Like, it would have been great to add more workout options.
For those unaware, Nintendo EPD has a team entirely dedicated to making casual-focused games, I believe it’s EPD Group 4 or 5. They’re responsible for 1-2 Switch, Nintendo Labo, Ring Fit Adventure, Nintendo Switch Sports, Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain, and collaborated with NdCube on Clubhouse Games and Everybody 1-2 Switch. I think it’s nice Nintendo has a team solely dedicated to these types of games while not taking any resources away from their core experiences.
Ring Fit Adventure pretty much encapsulates the reason why Nintendo is so special to me. No other company would make something so stupid with so much effort put into it. But I’ve sunk months of my life into it, it’s genuinely an incredible package. And it’s gotten me back into working out!
@@arcanehornet Maybe stupid is the wrong word to use. I can’t help but find it a bit silly, though, just how much effort they put into this fitness game. This game has way more effort put into it than any of the mario sports games on switch, or nintendo switch sports. It almost seems like they put as much effort into it as they would a big Splatoon game.
Gotta respect Nintendo for still looking out for the casuals that gave them success in the mid to late 2000s, despite how you feel about them quality wise.
It's a huge market. Casual games sell extremely well and are so cheap to make, they'd be stupid not to cater to it. The problem comes from going so hard after it that it ends up hurting the reputation of your console. Things like the switch, ds, 3ds had the right balance. The Wii I think was hurt by the power and control scheme issues that the third parties, unable to just throw their hardcore/normal multiplat games on it, decided to just flood it with way too much of casual stuff instead.
The hard core gamer discourse of the mid/late 2000s when it came to the Wii was, in retrospect, extremely cringe-worthy, embarrassing, and deserves to be mocked for all its worth.
I feel like they could have ported the Wiii Sports games to the switch pretty easily instead of releasing a new series entirely. It would have been soo much better in my opinion and it wouldn't have got too much hate unlike Nintendo Switch Sports.
The worst part of Switch Sports is that it doesn't let you play local multiplayer undocked, what grinds my gears is that it doesn't let you play simultaneously in bowling , which is ok whatever, but you'd think they'd at least give you the option to play in turns right? nope
Man nintendo switch sports had so much potential in my opinion. Even if they stuck with their decision to change the Mii art style, i think they should have still had all the games located with Wuhu island. A fully explorable Wuhu island would be so nostalgic.
@@batmanbud2 The single player aspect mogs Switch Sports offering, it is honestly shocking how bad Switch Sports will be once the online dies, and from someone that doesn't like online, Switch Sports can interest me in the slightest... but then again, the Wii U eshop is dead and Sports Club requires an eshop download even with the disc, now that's a gaming disgrace.
16:25 someone who uses vr regularly here. In my case (and seemingly most others) primarily use it for social vr "games" rather than traditional gaming. I don't get ps VR either. I mean yeah people play VR games but people who do that probably have a PC or want standalone
Yeah idk why he says no one uses VR like sure he used the quest 2 once but they still sold 20 million quest 2s and close to 2 million quest 3s already. And of course PCVR seems to be doing great, it’s just VR on PlayStation that is kinda dead.
1,2 Switch really should have been a pack in game for the joycons. I feel it would be a lot more respected if it was. $50 for it is insane and it is worthless outside of being free. Ringfit adventure is dope tho
I randomly got into the Touch Generation games earlier this year and I kinda wish they would return. Having a line specifically for casuals is cool and would work well on the Switch
@TheChefBoo I was think that but I can't see him just talking about the games. Would at least go into the history a little bit. Then again it's anime adjacent and we know how he feels about that lol
Yes Scott! Nintendo Labo and God of War releases on the same day, and the cashier at GameStop was questioning my choices when i bought them both at the same time! XD
Labo could've worked AMAZINGLY WELL if they'd marketed and implemented the idea correctly. Labo is tailor made for STEM learning. If they'd promoted this toward schools to use as a way to teach engineering, science and technology, they'd be printing so much cardboard Amazon would have to figure out a new container to ship packages in...
You'd think Scott would be singing VR its praises considering it's the most innovative gaming has been in the last few years, and it's quite literally the evolution of what was started on the Wii. But I guess Nintendo hasn't done VR yet, so he's not gonna give it any credit as a legitimate way to play games.
@@digiornopizza3469Hey, they did do the Labo VR Kit. Joking aside, I personally think VR just has a barrier of entry issue. How expensive it is (for an actually GOOD set) and the PC foreknowledge required to actually set up and use means it's a hard sell to anyone but the hardcore PC gamers who can also afford it (and the open space required). Not to mention how they keep trying to make VR games exclusive to one or another headset when they all interface the same damn way. Once it's just more convenient then I think we'll start seeing it considered as something other than a novelty.
Clubhouse Games is genuinely a lot of fun! The Clubhouse, Tabletop Mode and the Switch touch screen combo is perfect to play with someone during a sleepy Sunday afternoon, a lull in a family reunion, or long car trips. In particular, Dots and Boxes, Hit and Blow (their version of Mastermind) and Backgammon has given me hours of pleasant distraction. They're the perfect sorta games to play with someone if I wanna do something mildly social but don't wanna talk much or play something too high energy.
Labo is interesting cause it’s one of those things where when it came out it was met with just laughter but now I look back at it and think “actually kinda neat that this even works and how far they took it”
THANK. YOU. I have been saying Blue Ocean caused Video Games to finally go main stream for YEARS. I honestly think a lot of those people that left gaming after the Wii found themselves slowly trickling back first on PC and then finally, on the Switch-- helped, no doubt by the pandemic lockdowns but still, I'm not so sure all those people would have thoughto get ibto gaming if they hadn't enjoyed Wii Sports back in the day. Lol.
The problem with Nintendo Labo is that it gave me the feeling that I HAD to buy them all because they were some kind of DLC/extra content to other games, which is just the worst for game collectors who want their games to be ‘complete’
I have to say, Nintendo Labo was the most creative thing Nintendo has done in a while. It didn’t take off as much as they wanted, and I can see why. However, their Toy-con set #4, with the VR goggles, was the best one and the best way to end the series (if you can even call it that).
I actually legitimately played ring fit as part of my fitness, it’s incredibly fun for about the first month I’d say, but then they keep throwing the same running routes, activities, battles, over and over again to the point where it becomes grating in a way where silly characters saying something slightly different in each world can’t help it. Stings too because the core of this game is great, I just hope if they ever do a new ring fit game they make it more varied to encourage me and many others to come back lol
I genuinely love Go Vacation for what it does and it kinda was my main game this summer. It's just enjoyable to explore the locations, especially with the rollers in the city area, and let yourself go with the vibes with the diegetic music. The minigames are alright, but that's more than enough to give me a reason to at least see them all once and then replay the ones I enjoyed the most
Thank you I’m obsessed with this game love it to death. I just recently bought it. Somehow I beat it on the Wii and I’m gonna be there on the switch. Mind you this is only game i actually beat.
Scott is dont think you realize how much I appreciate this channel. You’ve developed this channel so much. For being a second channel you really didn’t have to put so much effort into it. These videos genuinely feel like main channel videos. Thank you so much Scott ❤️ We love you
When I saw the thumbnail and the intro this is what i would have done: "I wanna play the Nintendo Switch but the games are too scary (1 2 Switch apears on screen like the into of this video) it's still scary
Ring Fit Adventure is probably the best 'casual' game. It really is a great workout and I really loved the light RPG elements to it. Definitely a lot better than WiiFit.
The best thing Nintendo's casual efforts on the switch era have done, is making everyone notice how much better their previous casual efforts of the Wii, 3DS and Wii U era are
Scott: I don't hate casual games Also Scott: Hated almost every one of these, just not Clubhouse Games and Ring Fit Adventure(?) I mean, the sales show most of these games were the right thing to do.
I remember when Nintendo Labor VR was announced so quietly that most people learned of its existence through some guy comparing the elephant contraption to Vah Ruta.
Every 'Wii _______" game should have been rereleased as "Mii _______" Mii Sports. Mii Play Mii Sports Resort. Mii Fit. Mii Party. etc etc. And these could have veen available on NSO for $15-20 each.
I will defend Nintendo Switch Sports until the day I die. And I did grow up with Resort, but I genuinely love Switch Sports. I like the Sportsmates, the LOADS of customization, the music and visuals, and most of all, the games and gameplay are PEAK. The only thing I wish was that there was more variety within each Sport Mode.
didn't think id ever hear anyone perfectly encapsulate how i feel about endless ocean luminous anytime soon, but yeah it is 100% a not very good game that im very happy got its chance to exist
I really suggest playing Nintendo Labo kits 3 and 4. The VR kit is kinda a "jack of all trades" thing like the Variety kit but way better at being a master of some. The Vehicle kit is built mostly around one specific game mode where you can explore an open world, switching seamlessly between the vehicles thanks to the holder design.
We live in a very individualistic society where people are constantly blasted with ''just for you'' type bullshit so no wonder they get mad when they're presented with something not meant for them
My senior year of high school, we did a weekend overnight trip to this nice resort in the mountains. It was honestly really nice, we all got to hang out as friends one last time before college. I remember we tried to watch the Wolf of Wall Street on Cable and the entire TV was blurred for like an entire minute, so we switched to Family Feud and the question was "name a cereal that works as a double entendre" and we all had a laugh at how weird that was. Anyway, this was Spring 2018 so a few people brought their Switches, but there weren't many multiplayer games beyond like, Mario Kart and Pokken Tournament so we also were playing PC games and mobile games and stuff. Anyway the reason I bring this up is because in the dinner hall, there was a massive projector and a dance floor, and the first night, someone put Just Dance for Wii on the projector. And even though there were only 4 Wii remotes, like 30 people ran down to participate in Just Dance. I bring this up as a way to say that like, I can imagine if they had Jackbox or Everybody 1-2-Switch on the TV, maybe we could get 100 people to join on their phones. But that very specifically has to be a scenario where there's 200 teenagers away from home, on vacation, and about to graduate high school. Like they need to be in this mindset of "I'm on top of the world, let's have some dumb fun" and it helps if they're young enough that they're not worried about rent or their kids or anything like that.
One huge problem with Labo is that there's no easy way to take the creations apart. Once built, they take up far too much room. I ended up getting rid of mine due to needing the space. Also, I'm baffled that the Switch Fit Ring hasn't been used as an alternate control method in other games. Mario Kart where you have to hold it in to accelerate would be amusing.
Clubhouse Games on the Switch is really fun because most of the games have multiple difficulties where there is a different person you go against in each difficulty and when you beat all the difficulties for a game you get a golden trophy icon by the game also one of the difficulties is this old lady and it kind of reminds me of Matt from Wii Sports where you were working your way up to be able to challenge and defeat a certain person in the game
Ring fit adventure honestly kind of saved me during the pandemic. As a chubby out-of-shape guy who struggles to go to the gym more than once a week if even that, ring fit was the perfect game to ease me into exercising regularly. I played it bright and early everyday for an hour and logged the post-workout stats in a discord channel with my friends to keep track. Ended up going from 190lb to 170lb in a few months which I still can't believe happened. Now I find it much easier to motivate myself to go to the gym, and I can never give ring fit adventure enough praise for starting me on that path.
As someome who bought all 4 labo sets and doesnt like building (i had my brothers who do like to build do that). I will say that the VR and vehichle ones are genuinely fun to play. Tho they do not hold enough to ever convince me to play it again but for what i did play i really did enjoy it thoroughly
I definitely feel like people were being too harsh about Switch Sports and while I'm not saying it's amazing, I think they really did a decent job at making a modern day Wii Sports in the modern Nintendo era especially if you read the Ask the Developer interview about the game, they had a troubled time making it especially since the original staff that made Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort, did not make this game. It was all newbie/rookie developers that they brought in on board into this and given what they did here, I think people really should cut them slack as this was their first game they did and in my opinion, they did a decent enough job at making their own take on Wii Sports and I really believe this should be seen as a reboot rather than being a grandiose followup to Resort like fans wanted even if that would've been great when thinking about it.
NO NO NOOO, they force you to play the game with joycons and imagine someone buying this game without working joycons but only other controllers. FIX UR game!
I’m definitely one of those people who were anti-Wii when it came out. Even to this day, I own every Nintendo home and portable console aside from the Wii and Wii-U. That motion control stuff was the exact opposite of what I was looking for in games.
Im both in love and mixed on switch sports, behind all the stank its still a fun and additive time but theres a sense of insecurity behind it The sports are fun, but they removed practically all the side modes. The item customization is cool, but only sportmates can fully take advantage of them and theyre so bland. The location is stunning, but we barely get to explore it for ourselves Its a fun time i cant say is the full package. Even something as little as giving the cpu sportsmates names and dialogue couldve gone a long way
Ring Fit Adventure is the first RPG I’ve played (I haven’t played very many, to be fair) where it actually feels like I’m actually progressing, rather than just leveling up due to the grind. You get as much out as you put into it, and your character (you) actually is getting stronger and more capable.
I've finished the main story of Ring fit just a few weeks ago. Such a good game, I don't look like that buff dragon yet but I feel a lot healthier/slightly stronger. I'm even debating going to the gym now.
Ring Fit Adventure actually my mom to buy it to play on my Switch. We both played it once and now it's collecting dust xD It was fun tho, I wouldn't mind going back to it in the future
I scored Ring-Fit Adventure for like $30 at Walmart a while back and have been playing off and on, it really is genuinely a fun adventure game and it beats me up on the higher difficulties too. I hope more people are able to get it at a cheaper price and give it a chance
Imo I think the mario sports games shoulf be added to this list. The sports games while still being Mario related do feel more casual oriented than before. The reason they probably even use the update model because the update model is so popular with casual people.
fun fact: the psvr for the ps4 can work with vr switch games with a few tweeks, so you can play breath of the wild on an actual headset! (the resolution is barth inducing and there is no eye tracking)
I love how Nintendo tried to steal Jackbox’s schitck and failed so bad that the Codename for the game was horseshit and it almost didn’t release. I’m not even kidding.
Not the codename - a nickname given to the game at Nintendo of America, if I remember correctly. An overlooked part of the story is that I remember reading about a datamine of the game revealing that a bunch of minigames were axed due to gaps in internal filenames. So it seems like getting the game out the door meant cutting a ton of content deemed too subpar and pricing it low with next to no marketing. It's especially funny because the reports singled out Bingo as a game that tested poorly, and yet it made it into the final game. How abysmal were the games they had to remove if that one wasn't cut?

As a ring fit player its not a casual game at all. It will drag you to hell and keep you there until it can no longer hear you scream
The best thing Nintendo's casual efforts on the switch era have done, is making everyone notice how much better their previous casual efforts of the Wii, 3DS and Wii U era are
Scott: I don't hate casual games
Also Scott: Hated almost every one of these, just not Clubhouse Games and Ring Fit Adventure(?)
I mean, the sales show most of these games were the right thing to do.
Never been this early before nor have I played donkey Kong tropical freeze before
Come back when you’ve played tropical freeze
I only own the first and second Labo kits because a game store that opened up in my town in 2021 had one of each, still sealed, for £5 each.
I remember when Nintendo Labor VR was announced so quietly that most people learned of its existence through some guy comparing the elephant contraption to Vah Ruta.
I want a Sam, Scott, and Eric video of all of the labo kits
This was an interesting way to find out Bomberman R 2 exists
Every 'Wii _______" game should have been rereleased as "Mii _______"
Mii Sports.
Mii Play
Mii Sports Resort.
Mii Fit.
Mii Party.
etc etc.
And these could have veen available on NSO for $15-20 each.
I will defend Nintendo Switch Sports until the day I die. And I did grow up with Resort, but I genuinely love Switch Sports. I like the Sportsmates, the LOADS of customization, the music and visuals, and most of all, the games and gameplay are PEAK. The only thing I wish was that there was more variety within each Sport Mode.
All it needs is 100 pin bowling and I'll happy.
Scott glazes Nintendo for 50 minutes
didn't think id ever hear anyone perfectly encapsulate how i feel about endless ocean luminous anytime soon, but yeah it is 100% a not very good game that im very happy got its chance to exist
This category of games is what really made the Wii so awesome. Switch feels a bit lackluster in this regard
I really suggest playing Nintendo Labo kits 3 and 4. The VR kit is kinda a "jack of all trades" thing like the Variety kit but way better at being a master of some. The Vehicle kit is built mostly around one specific game mode where you can explore an open world, switching seamlessly between the vehicles thanks to the holder design.
We live in a very individualistic society where people are constantly blasted with ''just for you'' type bullshit so no wonder they get mad when they're presented with something not meant for them
My senior year of high school, we did a weekend overnight trip to this nice resort in the mountains. It was honestly really nice, we all got to hang out as friends one last time before college. I remember we tried to watch the Wolf of Wall Street on Cable and the entire TV was blurred for like an entire minute, so we switched to Family Feud and the question was "name a cereal that works as a double entendre" and we all had a laugh at how weird that was. Anyway, this was Spring 2018 so a few people brought their Switches, but there weren't many multiplayer games beyond like, Mario Kart and Pokken Tournament so we also were playing PC games and mobile games and stuff. Anyway the reason I bring this up is because in the dinner hall, there was a massive projector and a dance floor, and the first night, someone put Just Dance for Wii on the projector. And even though there were only 4 Wii remotes, like 30 people ran down to participate in Just Dance. I bring this up as a way to say that like, I can imagine if they had Jackbox or Everybody 1-2-Switch on the TV, maybe we could get 100 people to join on their phones. But that very specifically has to be a scenario where there's 200 teenagers away from home, on vacation, and about to graduate high school. Like they need to be in this mindset of "I'm on top of the world, let's have some dumb fun" and it helps if they're young enough that they're not worried about rent or their kids or anything like that.
10:41 omg i haven't seen that box in a while XD
Scott are you in love with Mario? I am.
the Soccer theme (bg music in the beginning) is the best 51 Clubhouse song
Casual time!
One huge problem with Labo is that there's no easy way to take the creations apart. Once built, they take up far too much room. I ended up getting rid of mine due to needing the space.
Also, I'm baffled that the Switch Fit Ring hasn't been used as an alternate control method in other games. Mario Kart where you have to hold it in to accelerate would be amusing.
This is a great list! I'm surprised Just Dance didn't make the cut. It's my preferred way to exercise with the Switch 💃🏻
Clubhouse Games on the Switch is really fun because most of the games have multiple difficulties where there is a different person you go against in each difficulty and when you beat all the difficulties for a game you get a golden trophy icon by the game also one of the difficulties is this old lady and it kind of reminds me of Matt from Wii Sports where you were working your way up to be able to challenge and defeat a certain person in the game
Ring fit adventure honestly kind of saved me during the pandemic. As a chubby out-of-shape guy who struggles to go to the gym more than once a week if even that, ring fit was the perfect game to ease me into exercising regularly. I played it bright and early everyday for an hour and logged the post-workout stats in a discord channel with my friends to keep track. Ended up going from 190lb to 170lb in a few months which I still can't believe happened. Now I find it much easier to motivate myself to go to the gym, and I can never give ring fit adventure enough praise for starting me on that path.

Endless ocean luminous = New Pokemon Snap light
As someome who bought all 4 labo sets and doesnt like building (i had my brothers who do like to build do that). I will say that the VR and vehichle ones are genuinely fun to play. Tho they do not hold enough to ever convince me to play it again but for what i did play i really did enjoy it thoroughly
I wish they remastered Wii Sports Resort instead of making Switch Sports.
24:09 Never thought i'd hear Scott use these words on a single sentence😂
I definitely feel like people were being too harsh about Switch Sports and while I'm not saying it's amazing, I think they really did a decent job at making a modern day Wii Sports in the modern Nintendo era especially if you read the Ask the Developer interview about the game, they had a troubled time making it especially since the original staff that made Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort, did not make this game. It was all newbie/rookie developers that they brought in on board into this and given what they did here, I think people really should cut them slack as this was their first game they did and in my opinion, they did a decent enough job at making their own take on Wii Sports and I really believe this should be seen as a reboot rather than being a grandiose followup to Resort like fans wanted even if that would've been great when thinking about it.
NO NO NOOO, they force you to play the game with joycons and imagine someone buying this game without working joycons but only other controllers. FIX UR game!
I’m definitely one of those people who were anti-Wii when it came out. Even to this day, I own every Nintendo home and portable console aside from the Wii and Wii-U. That motion control stuff was the exact opposite of what I was looking for in games.
Im both in love and mixed on switch sports, behind all the stank its still a fun and additive time but theres a sense of insecurity behind it
The sports are fun, but they removed practically all the side modes. The item customization is cool, but only sportmates can fully take advantage of them and theyre so bland. The location is stunning, but we barely get to explore it for ourselves
Its a fun time i cant say is the full package. Even something as little as giving the cpu sportsmates names and dialogue couldve gone a long way
Brain Age on 3DS is the peak of the series.
Ring Fit Adventure is the first RPG I’ve played (I haven’t played very many, to be fair) where it actually feels like I’m actually progressing, rather than just leveling up due to the grind. You get as much out as you put into it, and your character (you) actually is getting stronger and more capable.
"3DS was kids games or first party Nintendo" brother are you kidding, this is the same console the LAUNCHED with a Resident Evil exclusive title
I’d love to see a Labo build video x
Oh boy! It's 1-2 OVERPRICED!
Should have been a pack-in title.
scott dunking on vr is like... yikes..... mid take for once....
yeah that surprised me, he's missing out on Vertigo 2
i love scotts stash, its literally just a scott the woz episode just without the skits
I've finished the main story of Ring fit just a few weeks ago. Such a good game, I don't look like that buff dragon yet but I feel a lot healthier/slightly stronger. I'm even debating going to the gym now.
"They haven't made a box that can hold me" - Scott on Big brain Academy online
Ring Fit Adventure actually my mom to buy it to play on my Switch. We both played it once and now it's collecting dust xD
It was fun tho, I wouldn't mind going back to it in the future
I scored Ring-Fit Adventure for like $30 at Walmart a while back and have been playing off and on, it really is genuinely a fun adventure game and it beats me up on the higher difficulties too. I hope more people are able to get it at a cheaper price and give it a chance
Imo I think the mario sports games shoulf be added to this list. The sports games while still being Mario related do feel more casual oriented than before. The reason they probably even use the update model because the update model is so popular with casual people.
fun fact: the psvr for the ps4 can work with vr switch games with a few tweeks, so you can play breath of the wild on an actual headset!
(the resolution is barth inducing and there is no eye tracking)
I love how Nintendo tried to steal Jackbox’s schitck and failed so bad that the Codename for the game was horseshit and it almost didn’t release.
I’m not even kidding.
Not the codename - a nickname given to the game at Nintendo of America, if I remember correctly.
An overlooked part of the story is that I remember reading about a datamine of the game revealing that a bunch of minigames were axed due to gaps in internal filenames. So it seems like getting the game out the door meant cutting a ton of content deemed too subpar and pricing it low with next to no marketing. It's especially funny because the reports singled out Bingo as a game that tested poorly, and yet it made it into the final game. How abysmal were the games they had to remove if that one wasn't cut?
25:42 they must have signed some contract though because they’re still publishing it including the Hatdune Miku crossover version
I like how Patstaresat was like "lol nintendo overpriced cardboard" and then went "wait no I'm an idiot, it comes with a videogame"
Fun fact: The first Fitness Boxing game was delisted from all digital retailers at the end of November 2023 👀
ring fit adventure tournaments are crazy
