Nintendo on the future of Ring Fit Adventure
Ring Fit Adventure has undoubtedly been one of Nintendo’s breakout hits of the Switch era. Not only has the title generated global interest, but it has also sold over seven million copies. It makes sense then that many are hoping that there will be more to come from the concept.
During Nintendo’s 81st Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, an investor actually asked if there are plans for a sequel. President Shuntaro Furukawa responded, and did that the company “would like to take various initiatives so many people continue to play this title.”
According to Furukawa:
Since Ring Fit Adventure was released in October 2019, strong demand has continued both in Japan and overseas. It sold 7.38 million units globally during the fiscal year ended March 2021, and cumulative sales have exceeded 10 million units. This title is popular also in the Asia region including Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, even though Nintendo’s main business regions are Japan, the U.S., and Europe. With regard to future developments, I cannot disclose specific plans, but we would like to take various initiatives so many people continue to play this title.
