Writing this review from Costa Rica, 8 months after I began playing this game. I'll rephrase that, exercising with this game changer. I've had a goal of losing weight and becoming healthier for the last 10 years and today, I'm happy to say I'm getting there.
I began mid-December 2019 and so far I've lost 22kgs (48 pounds). I'm halfway through my end goal and I will do my best to update this review around March 2021, hoping to bring bigger numbers :)
Back when I started, I played the game from 3 to 4 times every week for between 10 to 15 minutes of effective work out time (not to be confused with total session time, which was around 25 to 30 minutes). Combined with a new eating plan from my nutritionist, I began losing between 2 to 3 pounds on a monthly basis.
I'll admit it, I got tired of the game after 6 months of constant weekly use and began looking for alternative options to do exercise like jogging outside. At first, the jogging was going very well, but I soon realized my weight loss started slowing down. After that, I came back to the game and I'm glad I did! I now do between 18 to 25 minutes of effective exercise having sessions of around 45-50 minutes.
I haven't finished the main story, I'm on world 21 and have read there are 23 worlds, so I should be completing it within the next 2 weeks.
The purchase of this game was completely worth it, specially now that most of us should try to stay home and avoid places like the gym.
It's fun how my body starts asking me to play this game during the week, it's an amazing and a fun exercise. I feel you're really in control of how much you have to push yourself and the feeling afterwards is very rewarding.
I thank Nintendo for this amazing game, I love the story, the progression system, game play, graphic, battles and I hope that they'll at some point release a DLC with more of it!
