Stuck inside. Treadmill is really boring but serviceable. I looked into options for getting Ring Fit Adventure to spice things up a little bit. Much like webcams, toilet paper, and other shockingly scarce items...I can't find any copies for sale! At least not at a reasonable price.

Here's a snapshot of eBay right now:

Has anyone had any luck getting a copy of this since quarantine hit?

I'm like a day away from digging my DDR mats out of storage.

It's been a nice thing to have for sure, and I hope they are able to make more soon, but there's nothing you couldn't recreate with a regular pilates ring and some youtube exercise videos. If the gamification is appealing I'm sure there's plenty of mobile apps that do something similar. Don't let its scarcity be the excuse not the exercise while all this madness is going on.

Yeah I was able to buy the last copy from a Meijer (regional Walmart/Target type store) only 2 weeks ago today. I'm very glad I got it. There's a Switch game called Fitness Boxing that *might* be a good alternative. I've not tried it. it looks kind of like Dance Dance Revolution. It does not use any extra physical equipment and is available on the eshop and has a demo.

I actually have Fitness Boxing. It's okay. The punch detection is just really iffy.

I got to play a bit a bit at my friend's house before everything went crazy, & now I regret not buying it myself sooner.

Saw a lone copy hanging out on the endcap of a Target on like the last week of February; I even commented to my wife how it was a rare find.

Didn't buy it though.

I wish I hadn't sold mine a few weeks ago towards the end of February for around $100 or so. I got a few months use out of it and didn't really want it anymore. I could have sold it for $180-200ish used now...

I'm pretty glad that I got it last year in Spain just before this whole mess started.

I actually didn't get to play it a lot until now but since there are no gyms available currently I'm going a bit crazy so I'm using RFA everyday and is surprisingly a pretty powerful and most importantly, fun exercise. I honestly wasn't expecting it to take that much effort but with every level you beat you get even more motivated to continue which is something I can't say about most of this kind of games.

Been playing it every other day or so. My three year olds love it and want to play. One puts the ring over his head like a necklace then runs in circles around the room, the other uses it like a steering wheel. Good times.

Nowinstock saves the day again.

Walmart has them in stock right now and managed to get an order in. They'll be gone fast.


EDIT:

And gone :(

OP if you wanna attempt getting one, setup some nowinstock alerts if you haven't already.

I used the nowinstock alert to get it today. Literally bought it because I enjoyed Wii Fit, but more importantly, I'm on lockdown for a few weeks (as is/will be most of the world), so, might as well find something fun to do somewhat physically inside.

Strongly recommend using an alert app/website for those looking for it, and, good luck!

I can't agree more OP.

One month ago, that game was R$ 600 in my country Now it's R$ 1,800. Three times more. That fucking expansive.
I really want that game, but I will not pay that much for a game. That sucks!

I had been looking for it to come back in stock for a few weeks with no luck and last Friday said fuck it and paid almost double the MSRP on ebay. Cracked it open yesterday and was surprised how good of a workout it was. My almost 4 year old son can even play it and he enjoys watching me play so it was worth it.

Sad how despite a crisis people won't try to be a bit more understanding and go with les crazy price.

Instead, it gets worse and they take advantage of the situation.

I think it's sold out everywhere.

Isn't it on the eShop? Buy that then get the Dobe Yoga Circle or something.
