Fitness Boxing: release date for Europe and North America; more details
Earlier this year, a mysterious “Fitness Boxing” suddenly appeared on the usual release planning shared alongside the latest financials results from Nintendo. Fast-forward a few months later, and we finally have a release date for Europe and North America: December 21st and January 4th respectively.
Since the original game was released on Wii, it’s no wonder this Switch game relies on motion controls via the Joy-Con. It offers daily training, with both low and high intensity options, but also various trainers that you can customise with unlockable outfits.
If you’re planning to play Fitness Boxing to reach specific goals, you will be able to track your progress thanks to the handy graphics tracking your BMI and daily calories burned. The closer you get to your goals, the more songs you can unlock. What’s more, there’s also more challenging training circuits to check out.
But that’s not all: Fitness Boxing can also be played in two-player with either co-op or vs modes. And of course, since the game is on Nintendo Switch, that means you can train anywhere you want… no more excuses to skip training!
Here’s some more details about the game, along with some pictures:
Get off the couch and get moving with fun, boxing-based rhythmic exercises set to the instrumental beats of songs by popular artists, including Lady Gaga, Pitbull and Kesha. You can personalize your workouts by selecting from different fitness goals. Train your way, whether you’re on your own, with a friend, at home, or on the go! Now you can work out anytime, anywhere on the Nintendo Switch system!
Get down your boxing basics while getting down to instrumental versions of 20 unlockable hit songs, including “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO, “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepson, and “Sugar” by Maroon 5. Punch and squat while gripping the Joy-Con controllers to get your whole body moving—no additional gym equipment required!
Daily training ranges from 10-40 minutes and offers both Normal and Fast mode. The game software estimates your approximate BMI and daily calories burned so you can track your progress. Choose from a diverse group of trainers and customize their look with unlockable trainer outfits. As you progress, you can earn more songs and more challenging training circuits. If you prefer to work out with a buddy, you can use two sets of Joy-Con controllers or share a pair to enjoy working out cooperatively or test your skills by facing off against each other in a virtual ring!
