Ring Fit Adventure, the sensational exergame for the Nintendo Switch, is closing in on one million units sold since launch in Japan, and had an exceptionally successful week in May (via DualShockers).
In the last week of May, 40,000 copies of the game were sold in Japan, which resulted in a 236 per cent rise in sales. This means that Ring Fit Adventure is nearing one million lifetime units sold in the country. Not to Dragaux about it, but that’s astonishing.

Though it looks slightly silly, Ring Fit Adventure is an intense RPG which will work on the player’s fitness as they travel around a fantasy world. “As you leg it through each stage, you can aim the Ring-Con down and pull outwards to jump, press in to fire an air blast or point it forwards and pull out to hoover up collectibles,” explained Rich in his review. “It succeeds in being pretty engaging, as you attempt to beat a level in as fast a time possible, and tackle enemies using the power of exercise. Yes, really. You can dress up your hero, unlock new exercises to unleash as attacks, and unlock smoothie or soup recipes too.”
Ring Fit Adventure is available for the Nintendo Switch.
