From playing cards to motion controls, Nintendo is known as the main publisher in games that captures the wistful childlike wonder of play, and in 2019 it\u2019s plans are only becoming more experimental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nostalgic design<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Gamecube.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22837\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s hard to argue with the fact that we probably wouldn\u2019t remember the Nintendo 64 or GameCube so fondly if they didn\u2019t look so alien and interesting, with their squid-like controllers and experimental gaming experiences. We\u2019ve now come to terms with and adore the Nintendo Switch, which at first earned the glare of many sceptics. In its own way, the physical action of slotting your controllers into the device and retrieving them to play anywhere is peak Nintendo, who have always pioneered the confluence of physical activity with virtual gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wii Sports is an easy example to point to, a game that everyone and their grandma can play with ease, and burn some calories whilst doing so. Yet it doesn\u2019t feel like you\u2019re actually putting in any effort as the fun keeps your mind occupied. This developed into the Wii Fit balance board and most recently played host to Fitness Boxing, where the Switch Joy-Cons are used to stimulate an intense boxing workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cardboard creativity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Nintendo-Labo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22838\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It might not seem so important, but with a global loneliness and obesity epidemic, Nintendo\u2019s focus on physical multiplayer is refreshing, especially when it\u2019s on a par with the rest of the gaming spectrum. Playing PUBG in a pitch-black room sure is fun, but the inactivity of a typical evening of gaming isn\u2019t going to stimulate your brain as much as a detour into invention or fitness will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was most recently seen with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/newsroom\/2019\/03\/07\/new-labo-kit-brings-vr-to-nintendo-switch\/\">Nintendo Labo<\/a>, the company\u2019s cardboard workshop series where players can build fully usable vehicles, mech suits and even musical instruments out of bits of recyclable tat, leveraging simple elastic bands and the Joy-Cons haptic HD Rumble to simulate the crank of a fishing rod or the engine of a motorbike. At first people thought it was totally insane, simply because it dared to be different, but it\u2019s seriously understated how important it is for developers like Nintendo to think outside of the box and provide ways for children and adults to stimulate the inventive or physical side of their brain, getting them to build, invent and explore their ideas all through the medium of gaming. You can say it\u2019s just for kids if you want, but let me ask you again once you\u2019ve built something and seen the results of your work, and I bet you\u2019ll be grinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Adventure time<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/NintendoRinfitAlt.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22839\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst more and more Labo kits have been rolling out (the most recent offering a swathe of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/newsroom\/2019\/03\/07\/new-labo-kit-brings-vr-to-nintendo-switch\/\">physical VR experiences<\/a>) Nintendo has not stopped dreaming, with the most recent experiment being a hula-hoop device and a leg strap into which you slot your Joy-Cons. This is in service of the Switch\u2019s apparent answer to Wii Sports, known as Ring Fit Adventure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With clever, sticky RPG systems underpinning intervals of physical activity, you\u2019ll take part in yoga poses, plank on the floor to defeat monsters and work different muscle groups to progress in this fascinating physical adventure. As well as a cohesive RPG experience, there\u2019s also more rudimentary mini-game gauntlets and exercise modes to work your body and help you get slim.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game is due out later this month on October 18th and is indicative of Nintendo\u2019s unique approach to physical activity which blends virtual fun with physical engagement. What other games do you think offer this wonderful blend of activity?
