More hints of a new fitness game via Nintendo’s patent activities:
- International patent WO2025120817, published today, describes using a Joy-Con 2 with mouse sensor to measure the user flexibility, movements, and postures on a floor. E.g., exercises on a yoga mat. The first image below shows the user doing a seated forward stretch by moving a Joy-Con forward between two legs. The second image shows the user doing a wide-angle seated lateral stretch, first toward the right foot and then moving to the left. The inventor on record is Sho Inaba, who worked on Ring Fit Adventure, Nintendo Switch Sports, and more.
- In Japan, Nintendo filed for a patent division JP2025089535 on 2025-03-27, also published today, to extend the original 2020 patent for Ring Fit Adventure’s Rhythm Game mode.
