Nintendo's latest game Ring Fit Adventure is now available on the Switch and according to a poll we ran yesterday, a sizable chunk of you here on Nintendo Life have shown interest in trying out this fun new experience.
For anyone who has already picked up a copy of the game, you'll be pleased to hear Version 1.1.0 has already been rolled out. It adds online features and various "other features" that improve the game.
Below are the full patch notes from the official Nintendo support page:
Online Features
- Adds Friends Ranking and Weekly World Ranking in the Quick Play rankings.
- Adds Everyone’s Records in My Menu for the Adventure and Custom modes, which lets you view Everyone's Exercise Rankings and Everyone's Profiles.
- Adds the Gift to a Friend function to Multitask Mode, which lets you gift the number of presses and pulls you do to your friends.(This data update will be required to receive a gift from friends.)
- Adds Share Setting for Online Features to Settings in My Menu for the Adventure and Custom modes.
Other Features
- Now supports the Nintendo Switch system Alarm function.
- Adds a new function, Restart the adventure from the beginning, to Settings in My Menu for the Adventure mode.
- Enables the screenshot-capture function by pressing the R button on the Ring-Con even while My Menu is open.
- The gameplay has been improved by addressing a few additional bugs.
- Allows alarm settings (day & time) within the Ring Fit Adventure software.
- Click Set Alarm in the title screen to jump to the setting screen.
If your system is connected to the internet, the update will download and install automatically. Save data will also still be available for use after downloading the update.

Haven’t tried it... Waiting on the Digital edition to launch in the US... If it does at all.
Are you going to review the game?
@RandomNerds Why? Wouldn't you need to go buy the Ring and leg straps anyway?
Fun so far. Running mechanic has a rail shooter feel and the fighting is rpg style. And I like rail shooters and rpgs
@RandomNerds Yes please explain. How on earth would you play without the ring? I highly doubt Nintendo would sell them separately unless they make more games that are functional with the ring.
@theiRiS one possible way is to sell the ring con and leg strap with a digital download code for the game
Just purchased this game! Gonna play it this weekend. Watched a lot of vids on it and it looks like the real deal. Working out made fun! Very excited for this title. I hope there's more buzz.
@Quarth Yep, I think we've got Chris Scullion covering it. At this rate, it should be up by next week.
@AnnoyingFrenzy I'm in the same boat as them. It's so much easier to keep on task with a fitness game if you don't have to find the cartridge and swap it out each day. Wii Fit U got way more love from me than Wii Fit ever did for that reason.
@link3710 I find that strange but you guys do you I guess.
At first glance I did find the comment by @RandomNerds to be a bit weird. However, after I thought about it some I do think a digital copy makes sense and realized that just like @link3710 I actually used Wii Fit U more due to it being a digital copy.
@FiveDigitLP @princezorldo @theiRiS @AnnoyingFrenzy They’re doing it in Japan apparently. I just like being all digital and would happily buy the accessories separately from the game.

@RandomNerds Agreed! For games I go to frequently in short bursts, I buy digital.
@RandomNerds what digital edition? It is a game that is based on equipment you have to buy to play
@Tantani
Well the accessories would have to be bought at the store, digital as in having the game downloaded instead of having to out in the cartidge every time you wanna play the game.
I prefer this game digital since it'll be a game I'll be playing in bursts.
I'm still not able to get My Nintendo points from the cartridge. Has anyone been able to do so?
Who here purchased this stupid game and has already quit playing?
I'm so happy this came out. Before previews I was thinking of getting that $50 shovelware boxing game.
I am interested in this but I hope other applications for the ring come out through the Switches lifetime. I can see myself being more motivated to exercise through this but naturally that motivation will probably wain as the game is completed. Hopefully they can keep things coming to keep encouraging it's use.
I got a €23 discount buying it early and I'm glad I did. My wife and I have only played an hour but we love it! It's currently her turn. This game has some of the charm and comedy of Zelda but as an exercise game! So far it's way better than I expected.
I wish we could have purchased the digital version. But honestly if it was retail price I'd still choose physical.
@gokev13 they've claimed if you play 30 minutes a day it will last for 7 months..I think. So it should last you awhile.
I am really looking forward to this game as a way to supplement my AM swim routine to add exercise minutes in a fun way at home. Funny week of releases... I could run across fields virtually in Witcher 3... or run physically in Ring fit! Physical all the way.
Am getting my ring fit or is my ring getting me fit?
Personally exercise is already fun. I get time alone whilst listening to some of my favorite tunes. Plus those bloody endorphins have got me more hooked than a poorly parented teenager playing fortnite.
I’m so psyched for this game, but still holding onto a glimmer of hope for a digital release like in Japan. As others have said, it’s the sort of game you play for a 20-30 minute session and then go back to your “regular” games. I’d rather avoid the constant cart swapping and get it digitally.
Sadly, I think the odds of a NA digital release are fairly slim. (On the plus side, no digital release would likely save me some money. The Japanese version is a Nintendo Store exclusive. I’d expect the same for NA. Since I’m in Canada that would mean ordering from the US store and paying extra for shipping, possibly even duties.)
Mine just arrived. This thing is the kind of Nintendo I love. These kinds of innovative control devices that involve movement are both fun and get you active. I was hoping for a Switch Fit that'd be compatible with the WiiFit board but I'll take this. I haven't played yet but in addition to this game, I hope that they release an actual fitness game like WiiFit that works with it.
Interested in this game but do hope we get it in digital form in Europe. This generation of consoles it's digital all the way for me.
I hope this game thrives so that it gets further support. And, it wouldn't be a bad idea to implement its controls into new upcoming games aswell. Just as an option for those of us who want to move and game at the same time.
@Cheez
That's not bad, I heard 3-4 months but maybe they said an hour a day for that. Maybe if I put it on the hardest difficulty it will last even longer.
The fact that Nintendo Life hasn’t reviewed a new first party Nintendo game until well after its release is pretty fishy to me.
Why so late? Is it because it’s mediocre?
I already bought the game, but I haven't played it
I love this game. I was ranked #1 for jogging distance for my age since launch. I fell down to #3 today. I need to step up!
Played the game for 45 minutes and have been sore now for two days, I'd say it's at least doing something!
