Don’t Skip Workout: Ring Fit Adventure Beats The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in Japan

Nintendo’s Switch family of hybrid consoles and games continue to dominate Japanese retail. The more interesting was the indicator of one of the new IPs, which was launched in October last year.

New sales figures in Japanese retail have revealed that the fitness game Ring fit adventure actually surpassed another hit of the system – The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild… The former now has 1,668,843 sold copies, while Zelda boasts a circulation of 1,662,966 copies. It should be noted that the digital version of Ring Fit does not exist in nature, so this once again shows the strength of the game in the country. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic played a role in the world, due to which fitness centers were closed, but people are trying to continue training at home, using Ring fit adventure… This is Nintendo’s first new IP since Splatoon with millions of sales in Japan.

Nintendo reported 4 million copies sold this August Ring fit adventure around the world. The game has consistently been difficult to find on sale due to limited supplies, so now this value could seriously increase.

Moving on to the bestsellers in Japanese retail for the period from October 5 to 11, the best-selling new release was the football simulator FIFA 21… The sports game has a cumulative circulation of 51,142 copies (39,152 on PlayStation 4 and 11,990 on Switch).
