Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm & Exercise (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

An effort has been put into the different instructors and their clothing choices, but there are 5 pretty lack-luster backgrounds. For any players who are intimidated by the Ring-Con accessory and are looking for a more simplistic workout experience, they may enjoy punching along with Fitness Boxing 2. This time, there are another 20 available (as well as three forgettable original tunes), and they seem to span a wider range of decades.

The Reno Gazette-Journal gave Fitness Boxing a 6 out of 10, saying that "Fitness Boxing works great as a fitness app but not so much as a game. Time your punches perfectly to get into the Zone State, bringing the stage to life and letting you rack up extra points! As announced on August 30, 2023, Fitness Boxing was delisted from digital retailers on November 30 in all regions, likely due to expired music licenses. It’s a credit limit that’s sits alongside your PayPal account which you can use for your online purchases.

As before, you’re accompanied by a fitness instructor, and while there were six to choose from in the first game, there are now another three newcomers to try and warm to. However, I find that when I’m mindful of my body, it works like a charm; I should be doing so for the good of the exercise, anyway – not just to achieve points in a game. I was much better off going by visual queues, which is just as well as the music isn’t anything special and can be turned off in the menu.

If you're violent and carrying momentum with purpose, it will register your movements and combos can feel great (if just a few frames too slow).I also do not recommend that you go full throttle hitting the air because you can tweak or hurt something in real life. To make matters easier every single song and workout is set to the same tempo, so there is never a situation where you’ll need to speed up or slow down your movements. While the idea of Fitness Boxing 2 is pretty simple, I was surprised with just how effective it was at getting my heart rate up and making me feel legitimately tired after a longer session. I’ve noticed, for instance, that you can usually throw a straight instead of a hook as long as the timing is correct. You had Track and Field on the NES, the incredibly expensive Lifecycle set for the Super Nintendo, and even games like Dance Dance Revolution really helped gamers get off of their butts to work up a sweat.
