Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm & Exercise (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

With Ring Fit Adventure, the free Jump Rope game, the original Fitness Boxing, and now this sequel sequel, the Nintendo Switch is one of the best consoles for those hoping to stay fit. As long as you’re engaged and in form, you don’t have to be terribly precise to nail the boxes and get that satisfying Joy-Con HD rumble.

It’s not easy, particularly when you add in moves that go beyond punching (stepping and weaving seem like a big step up from just punching, no pun intended). Happy to answer any questions in the comments, as overall I support this game and I hope this helps someone out there make an informed decision.Crank up the volume and work up a sweat as you box to the beat of 23 punchy tracks, including instrumental versions of hit songs. You may shrug off the advice to bring a bottle of water and towel, I know I did, and boy did I regret it. Whatever difficulty you play on, you can revisit specific exercises for practice or watch detailed examples to observe perfect form. She cautioned that if you really train hard with it set to a single type of punch, you can injure yourself!

The game asks you to time your punches along to the beat of a handful of instrumental tracks from big name artists. Just give me all content, I don't want to sit through your boring lessons where there is a punch only every 7 seconds.

I know I’m being very picky here, but it is rather annoying that there is no way to input the time on a keypad, rather you have to scroll through each time in fifteen-minute increments on each day you want to set the alarm. This allows you to set an alarm on each day of the week, causing your connected controllers to violently vibrate at a designated time.It’s not checking to see if you’ve done the uppercut properly, because it’s got no way of telling that. As mentioned at the beginning, the icons can look a bit similar in some situations – but they are clearly colour-coordinated based on the “type” of movement (for example, all uppercuts are yellow, no matter what kind. Given that we’re all mostly housebound at the moment, it feels like there might have been an opportunity to do something more interesting with the concept. In the first game, instructor outfits were unlocked when you hit certain milestones, but some of these were frankly ridiculous: throwing a total of 198,000 punches to unlock a new top felt ever so slightly disproportionate. If you have bad registers, try using some wrist weights which will stabilize sudden movements and offer a more intense workout.

Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm and Exercise is controlled entirely with motion controls, with the player holding a Joy-Con in each hand to register punches, thrusts and general movements of your upper body. In harder and faster workouts, your instructor might end up blurting everything out in a quick rush to say everything in time. 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.Fitness Boxing 2 comes packed with about twenty or so tracks, including some original pieces which I actually quite liked, but may not be everyone’s cuppa tea.
