Reason

A fitness adventure game that requires you to play using your entire body.
The special controller "Ring-Con" and "Leg Strap" recognize the player's movements and interlock them with the characters in the game.
In addition to the adventure mode, which allows a player to train while playing RPGs, there are various other modes to enjoy depending on his/her lifestyle, physical fitness and exercise goals, as well as calculating his/her exercise time and calories burned.
A player can work out his/her entire body while having fun playing the game and get fitter while he/she plays.
Many people of all ages, men and women voted in favor of the game, saying that they “enjoyed the exercise” and that “it helped to eliminate a lack of exercise during the period of self-restraint.”

Work Introdution

“Ring Fit Adventure” is a fitness adventure game in which you attach accessories, “Ring-Con” and “Leg Strap” to Joy-Con, holds the Ring Con in both hands, and wear Leg Strap on the left thigh, and play using your entire body.
“Ring-Con” and “Leg Strap” attached to Joy-Con recognize movements in the arms, shoulders, chest, chest, abdomen, back, buttocks, legs, and other parts of the body and interact with the characters in the game.
It includes “Adventure,” a fitness program you can enjoy for long hours while exploring a world of fantasy.  The game also offers various styles and you can try whenever you feel like it: “mini games” are short and easy to start; “set menus” offer programs to play a series of predetermined fitness events; and rhythm games enables players to move the body to the music.

Comment of the game producer

I am very grateful for receiving such a wonderful award this time.
Ring Fit Adventure is a fruit of a wonderful encounter and collaboration between the hardware and software development teams. In addition, it a new genre of game, and there was always a lot of challenges and trials and errors during development. We played with a finished product and repeatedly revised it, sometimes destroying what we had built up until then, and building it up again until we finally gave it shape.
We have received very warm feedback from many of our customers since the launch, and we feel that all of our team members' hard work has been rewarded. I hope that this award will encourage every member to take on new challenges.
We hope you will keep on playing for many years to come.
