ring-fit update
so the purpose of this baby blog (for babies) is to post about games on my backlog, not so much the zeitgeist games (i might make an exception for the “final fantasy 7” remake...) or the ones i return to frequently, unless there's something of note there. but i'm sure you don't mind if you're going out of your way to read this little blog, anyway.
i had been playing “ring-fit adventure,” what is essentially the nintendo switch's “wii fit,” on and off since launch, but in the last two weeks of quarantine it has taken on new meaning for me. my father works as a manager in a grocery store, and since i still live at home with my folks i feel uncomfortable leaving the house at all, just in case i'm unwittingly carrying the virus. i'm just pretending like i am. that means i'm cut off from a lot of public spaces and a lot of the walking around i do on a daily basis has been drastically cut short. so i'm very fortunate to have something like the “ring-fit” on-hand during these times.
notes
- i'm convinced that this game is chock-full of warped nintendo sound effects. sure yeah, it's a nintendo game, that may be a given, but like.. some of them seem like deep cuts.
- gooper blooper's tormented cry when you launch him into the aether from “super mario sunshine” is heard when.. you launch monsters into the aether in battle.
- armando's great sound effects, along with andma (and maybe even abdonis..?) all sound like they're characters from “the legend of zelda: the windwaker”—specifically orca's “sah!” and link's grandma. hm. these are things i think about
- is this where the assets for the juicer from “pikmin 3” have come to die? there's a fun mechanic for making smoothies (in-game potions) that gives me the same fruit-feels as the ones i felt while juicing away in “pikmin 3.”
- when is “pikmin 4” coming out..
- i'm finally at a point where i'm noticing results from my work-outs and feeling the drive to get up and get at it! very cool how gamifying something dumb like health and fitness can make me interested in wanting my body to last longer!
