Jump Rope Challenge was a surprise release on Nintendo Switch

In this period of global emergency, due to the feared covid-19, many multinationals have released some of their videogame products for free: Sony performed the operation with Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey, Microsoft with the two Crackdown and Too Human, Warner Bros. with LEGO Ninjago Movie the videogame or Bandai Namco with Pac-Man Championship Edition 2. One of the few that has not given nothing for this period is Nintendo, at least until a few hours ago, since the Japanese company has recently released a certain Jump Rope Challenge for Nintendo Switch.

Free download through the hybrid console eShop, this simple title was developed by a small development team, at a safe distance from work from home, to incentivize users to exercise even in the home. In fact, the primary goal of any product is to reach at least i 100 daily jumps, but you can even push your own limits and break the record of friends or family. In case you are already an expert on the subject and think that the daily challenge is too easy, it is possible to increase - or even decrease - the minimum achievable number of jumps during a game session. Obviously, to play you have to hold the Joy-Con in both your hands, but it is possible to turn everything into a 'multiplayer experience giving one of the controllers to a second player. Finally, Nintendo has also thought of users who may want to practice exercise but cannot move too much, and for this reason it is possible to take advantage of the product simply by bending the knees or by moving only their arms.

Jump Rope Challenge is therefore a simple but curious experience, which is free to download for a period limited, as the Japanese company plans to remove it from the digital store by the end of September 2020. Waiting to find out the specific day of this maneuver, we remind you that Nintendo has recently released a new trailer for Paper Mario: The Origami King.
