The lack of attention Nintendo has given Ring Fit Adventure and the ring itself is nuts. Imagine Mario Kart + Ringcon support

The IR Camera is one of the best things they ever made for the Switch. I'm using GBG to create Motion based Minigames for Physiotherapy to Motivate my Clients. The Ir Camera was the only Way to implement the Ringfit Controller to GBG (with an reflektive Tape on the side of the Camera). and i'm planing to implement even more with it. Raise up the Nodon Limit!! ✊️
After seeing the Ninjala cards it made me think that using Pokemon cards with the IR reader could be dope. Like the eReader era

True, although I think they would use the amiibo reader more likely, like Animal Crossing does with there cards. Presume the only reason Ninjala didn’t was because they are third-party?

@@yotameshel7876yeah it's a big oversight in the video tbh. Animal Crossing has had official amiibo cards since like 2015. They released series for Happy Home Designer, New Leaf Welcome amiibo, New Horizons, and Happy Home Paradise, and they were pretty consistent with releasing them for a long time. I think there also might have been an amiibo festival series but don't quote me, it might've just been figures. The cards were however compatible with amiibo festival and all of the above games.
That trombone game is definitely a must have in any game party, that was delightfully hilarious!
LA Noire also uses the IR camera similar to the way it is used in Resident Evil Revelations
Here's hoping no more releases this year have a hidden IR function 😂
When the Switch lite came out, I knew that was the death of Nintendos interest of doing anything creative with the joy con sensor or HD rumble. Some games require a separate pair of joycons and something tells me that's why there's not better motion aiming for some games that don't really make sense without it (getting rid of resident evils 4 motion aiming makes it harder to play for me). But like, why make games that have unique features if a bunch of kids with budget consoles can't play em? I bet it affects any indie or 3rd party developers decisions to try anything creative. I bet we could get games blind people could play with sign language and HD rumble sensing.
You know it’s gonna be a good day when BeatEmUps uploads a long one! Love your vids!❤
As for SmileBASIC4, there are some projects you can check out that uses the IR camera. Key: 4NZADA3WD. 8x6 pixel resolution camera output where you can change the Heat sensing. Not sure what it does tbh. Key: 45K4N339J. Spy camera. Key: 4E2K4KE3E. Makes sound based on what the IR sees. Key: 4R44VK334. Uses iR for the Piano laboset. Key: 4A3NXXM. Water sounds by putting hand over camera.
The fact you recorded this video way before the latest direct with two IR-compatible games makes it even funnier lol
The IR camera is pretty accurate to evaluate your heartrate in RFA. I have a heartrate monitor on my chest and both give a similar reading. I was surprised this was the first thing you reviewed. XD
If you counted all four Labo kits, there would be 16 in total. Full list: Brain training, vitamin connection, smile boom, ring fit adventure, night vision, labo, labo 2, labo 3, labo 4, game builder garage, ninjala, resident evil: revelations, spy alarm, 1 2 switch, warioware move it, and trombone champ
11:30 kims face looks like she's thinking "is that what he does to my ham sandwich" I love this channel
Regarding the ring fit heart rate monitor. You have a faint pulse in your thumb but do not in your other fingers so the joycon may have been the accurate reading. To make a fair comparison youd need to use both thumbs.
I wonder How much does the IR reader add to the joycon cost? 80$ and one of the controller mechanics is barely used

nah, IR reader modules are super cheap in general. Is not like it is a new technology or anything. I used to buy them by bulk when I was in college
This video is genuinely so well made- I love woods commitment into trying all these games out for us 😂 why are the ad reels so dang good as well! So much good humor in this video- they gotta use the IR more!!
I think Kim was having a ton of fun whacking the bajeebers out of Wood 😂
The ad read was epic. You got me. 😂
Wood learning Japanese is epic. I was learning it several months ago to scrape a pass in a basic language exam (purely to get into college.......... and watch anime and know what the heck nintendo is saying...) Wood sounding out the hiragana and Katakana is ... just... so relatable.
Hey Wood! Great video and learned a lot about the IR that unfortunately is not being used a lot since launch. Same with HD Rumble. Maybe a do a video on that next??? That would be so cool!
I see the purpose of the intruder alarm for kids 😂 it’s like turning the switch into a physical toy and giving a new option of play. Kinda cool
Kind of weird Nintendo did try hyping this up but we ended up with a handful of IR games. Fascinating information. Anyways. Good job wood 👏🏻👏🏻
Hey Wood, I just wanted to thank you for all the videos you make and all the games you've recommened over the years. Thanks to you I found out about Celeste, The Messenger, Katana Zero, Breath of the Wild, Hyperlight Drifter, and more. I fell in love with video games all over again and playing them have gotten me through tough times. So really, thank you for existing and being a youtuber. The videos you make matter and have made a difference. Sending good vibes your way dude. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
kim seemed kinda sad in this one 😭
8:22 Oh so they were able to make it work as a QR code scanner, but when i ask the people behind Nintendo Labo to make an HD version of Face raiders i get the SILENT TREATMENT!?
Wood: Such amazing happy memories *two minutes later* Remember that guy?! Kim: …oh God no…
the QR reader they could of had it in the switch Pokemon like they did for sun/moon games (scan a QR code either get the pokemon as a gift or have it spawn in the wild, but the added gmax/tera dens, but it could of been in BDSP or PLA)
I'm not your target audience, but I have to admit, this was pretty enjoyable. Loved your energy, loved all the dedication you put into finding all the games and going through all the hurdles, and loved the gotcha moments with actually buying those stuff for large amount of money. God bless you for your effort and presentation :)
Kim’s burglar walks 🤣🤣
“…is what I WOULD say” 😂😂😂 Thank you for all the effort and money spent on videos like this! We love it.
I'm guessing the IR camera may have been included as a potential way for emulating Wii games.

It could work if the console had a sensor bar, but the issue is that this sensor is ponted downwards from the joycon, making it cumbersome to use with conventional Wii games. What COULD work however is making a sensor bar to make light gun games work like House of the Dead and Ghost Squad work on the Wii. It was unfortunate that Sega didnt do this because I saw many complaints with the new House of the Dead for the Switch
3:36 LOL EVEN THE JOYCONS LOVE BEATEMUPS
Wood: 'Professional grade heart rate monitor" Me, a RN: "oh a Pulse Oximeter!"
Always love seeing u fully exploring the switchs features heres hoping the switch 2 will domore with this camera
That was a genius ad read
Send the cards to PSA, CGC, or SGC for grading and then they will be saved in a safe slab forever. You might be the only person to have them like that as well. Kinda cool
I’ve known about the IR feature of the Joy-cons ever since it was first announced. I’ve never used it.
Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher kind of uses it. In the same way you scan Amibo it allows you to scan NFC devices(IC cards, etc)to create monsters. I use my Suica cards.
Hearing Barney sing again was something I didn’t know I needed to hear again in my life 😭
Hows your time in japan? Also is there a nontendo podcast this week?
It would be funny if Kim does crafts with the mask
The IR Camera is so underrated. But it’s nice to finally see footage of Trombone Champ on the Switch!
Here’s another game you could try out. “Black Hole”. Overall, it’s pretty fun but there’s a reason why they marked the IR controls as “experimental” 😅
Why is wood the best youtuber to exist? Love you and Kim keep it up you make me smile ❤❤❤
15:47 I still didn't watch the whole video, but isn't he going to mention that ALL NINTENDO LABO was about the IR sensor

I didnt know I needed this video this bad, great job! 14:43 That transition tho! 🔥
okay but this video was like the best ever. 😂❤ what fun that is. also i feel like i learned something new.
Kim is such a good sport. Probably sacrificed her makeup putting on that mask. I suppose Wood made it worth her while by asking her to wack him on the head with a frying pan. What woman wouldn't take her husband up on that offer?
For Nintendo labo the keyboard also uses the ir camera for detecting keypresses
You never fail to disappoint me.
Lmaoooo Kim 🤣🫶🏻
I have 2 pair. I play ringfit so that IR camera is semi useful for heart rate counter
Been looking forward to this one, absolutely awesome 😃👍
Scanning qr codes seems like the smartest and most useful way to utilize the ir sensor and I'm shocked only one game has thought of it
4:45 - you sneaky devil!!!! I fell for it!
An 80 year old Grandpa that doesn't know how to blow a trumpet and reloads with the thumb. This is a GOTY video for me (greatest of the year)
"Is what I would say" made me laugh every single time 🤣🤣🤣
An Oximeter uses Infrared Light and Normal Light to measure both the Oxygen in the blood, as well as the Heartrate, so it's not surprising that the IR Camera could also do the same thing!
Wood saying Lay-Bo really annoys me I wish he’d say just say Lab-o 😭
I really wonder what Nintendo will do next. It will either make break the gaming industry at this point.
When he said "it's heartratin' time" and proceeded to get his heartrate up, that was a truly inspirational skibidi moment
The reloading blew my mind 🤯
I just got the Warioware game and I love it. I had no idea the IR camera even was there and then the game tells me to play rock paper scissors with the joycon. Truly a wtf moment.
LMAO Darla following you in the dark
I had such a smile for the munch 1-2 switch & also the dog in the dark haha totally wholesome & good smile to start my day before work
Me at 0:19 having played EVERY SINGLE Nintendo Labo Game out there (3 is definitely my favorite and i still play it nowadays)
The comedic timing and the video edits in every video makes me laugh so hard every time 😂
So... I hate to break it to you, but you missed at least three games, and didn't show all of the IR camera features of a fourth. And... yeah, it's all Nintendo LABO stuff. In Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 01: Variety Kit, you showed the "car", but you didn't show the way the LABO uses the IR camera for both the piano and the house, which detects reflective tape within the cardboard machines you build to do various functions. In Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 02: Robot Kit, LABO uses the IR camera to detect reflective tape within the cardboard robot backpack you create to do various functions. Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 03: Vehicle Drive Kit and Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit, LABO uses the IR camera to detect reflective tape within the... okay, look, I can tell you're sensing a pattern here, but even if it's using the camera in a similar fashion, the different ways it uses the camera detection of the reflective tape is all really creative. Plus, both Ton-Con 03 and Toy-Con 04 include a custom-build software mode much like Game Builder Garage, and these also let you use the IR camera like in Game Builder Garage. And actually, I spoke a little too soon, because Toy-Con 3 *does* use the VR camera in an *extremely* unique way - in Battle mode, you can use it to import a fully-3D object (even your face) into the game to do battle on. Now, I'm sure some will argue that "well, Wood mentioned Nintendo LABO", but the four LABO kits included four separate pieces of software, they are four different games. This is further demonstrated by the fact that the latter releases in the series included additional functionality like the aforementioned game builder mode. And in any case, the *many* IR functions that series made use of weren't mentioned in the video. So... sorry to "um, actually" you here, but I think the Nintendo LABO series isn't getting quite as much credit as it deserves for just how truly creative it is.
You know its a good day when wood uploads
I feel like Kim liked the green mask it kinda goes with her love of making alien creatures.
What a waste of money... is what I would say, if this wasn't such a banger of a video. 🤪 Love the bit, especially after I just finished rewatched the "I buy all the Nintendo Switches" video and I was like "you spent thousands on Switches, you can't spend $50 on cards? Pfft."
Actually such a good idea for I video don’t know why anyone haven’t thought of this before
125,000,000 switches has been sold, but the switch comes with 2 joycons, so it makes it 250,000,000 joycons has been came with the switch
I’ve been looking forward to this video ever since Wood said he had been filming it. Great video!
Hey, Wood, what about Nintendo Switch Sports? It uses the camera to detect when you are moving in the games, like in Bowling or Golf, for example. Also, what about Just Dance? I never played it on the Switch, but I have seen others play it. Unfortunately, I have a feeling the IR camera will go the way of the Xbox Kinect. Little support killed that wonderful device as well.

“Sometimes it feels like we all have things in our life that we don’t use often - but when we do, it’s not good.” That’s deep, Wood 😂

I hit the like button only because of this 8:45 lol
Love the type of humor in these Wood 🙏 Keep it up
