HORI is known for its gaming accessories, be it controllers, cases, arcade sticks, and now, mats. Soon--at least if you live in Japan--you'll be able to pick up a mat that's officially licensed by Nintendo and made for Ring Fit Adventure. It's pretty much a yoga mat, with the game's logo stamped onto it, where you'll be able to use it fully rolled out or folded up, depending on what minigame exercise you're playing. The mat is set for a release later this June, and will cost just under $60, when converted from Yen. Whether or not it'll be available in the west is yet to be confirmed.

Funny you mention about it leaving Japan when MetalJesusRocks apparently happened upon a US version of the expansion unit itself of which there was only 1 or 2 made iirc.

Yeah, seems like they were planning on making it for other places, but I guess they just gave up before they started manufacturing lots of 'em for the US.

I'd buy that if it actually came with the game and accessory/controller. $60 for just a mattress is just.....no.

If it were an actual mattress for a bed, then $60'd be a steal!

Is this an out-of-date April Fool's joke?!

I'm gonna have to push X to doubt on that one, good sir!

There may be scalpers trying to pre-sell it on Amazon for 60, but it says right there in the article you link to that it’s retailing for ¥2780, which is like 25 bucks.

Couldn't you get the logo from the Internet and copy it onto a mat? I don't know how they print designs onto shirts or mousepads, but a similar process should work for you, am I not correct?

I went with baby's blood sprayed over a stencil.

Shouldn't this have come with the starter pack?

It looks I'll keep using my yoga mat.

I wonder if China will even bother making knockoffs of this.

I think it's a placeholder price that retailers always set to something higher than what they expect it to retail for.
But yeah, it will sell for ¥ 2,780 in Japan, says so right there in the article. That is $25 which is not bad for a decent mat.


Chary is spreading misinformation

I hope this just flops on its ass at that price and doesn't leave Japan

or you can just not buy it...

 

[subcon959]

I was ready to attack but then I actually looked at the page and it's gonna be under 20 quid which isn't all that bad.

 

[SkittleDash]

...But why? Why would you license such a thing? Who's going to spend just a little under $60 that's just a yoga mat. Yoga mats are like $30. This is pretty much double the price. Why? Because it has the game's logo... Wooooow.

 

[BlazeMasterBM]

I envy the amount of money you have if you can spend $60 on a big ass orange rug

 

[The Catboy]

or you can just not buy it...

I definitely came in a bit hot on this one and that’s my bad. Still, I do hope Nintendo doesn’t release this at such a high price.

60 schnutz for a mat? C'mon, at least throw in some yoga pants...

...or better yet, the Wii Fit lady wearing the yoga pants, we'll pay extra!

If you've ever seen yoga pants, they're *tight* where it counts, especially if the wearer is no stranger to pilates...

...or so I've heard! I wouldn't know, don't mind me!

I would like to think a mod has higher standards in their posts than to talk like a 12 yr old kid looking at a Penthouse for the first time. What's with a mod making extremely sexualized comments about paying for women and about their yoga pants being "tight where it counts"? You should be fired as a mod. Not only for this complete garbage, but for the ones you post on other threads as well. Maybe you ARE 12?
