Nintendo May Be Working On A Successor To Ring Fit Adventure

by Muhammad Ali Bari

Nintendo may be working on a successor to its exercising action role-playing game, Ring Fit Adventure, based on a new rumor.

Over a week ago, on May 23, 2025, Nintendo registered (via ninpatentswatch) “accessories for video game controllers” design in the EU. Images of the accessory have been held undisclosed for up to 30 months, suggesting that it is for an unannounced product. Fumiyoshi Suetake, who’s recently registered designs were Alarmo and Ring-Con, is mentioned as the designer on the registration page. He’s also the designer of an unreleased “training instrument” filed in 2015.

Back in November, 2024, and later in May, 2025, Nintendo Switch assembler Foxconn Technology disclosed its “force sensing technology” developed for a game company in order to create “diverse new gaming accessories”. The rough sketch of the Ring-Con and a pair of force sensors suggest that Foxconn’s aforementioned client is likely to be Nintendo.

Meanwhile, Nintendo had filed for a continuation of the original 2019 Ring Fit Adventure patent in the US in the year 2023 and in Japan in 2024, suggesting that the company is looking to extend legal protection on the already released gaming accessory, possibly in relation to a new product.

Based on the above findings, it appears that the successor to Ring Fit Adventure and accessory are in development at Nintendo, possibly for the Switch 2. Companies usually tend to register product designs close to their reveal, so it’s possible that we may get to hear something in this regard in the near future.

The original Ring Fit Adventure is available exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. It includes two key accessories: the Ring-Con, a flexible Pilates ring that houses one Joy-Con, and a Leg Strap that secures the other Joy-Con to the player’s leg. The primary gameplay mode is a turn-based role-playing experience, where players perform real-world exercises to execute in-game actions. The Joy-Con controllers detect player movements through motion sensing, while the Ring-Con features a strain sensor to register bends.
