The Nintendo-published Fitness Boxing has launched today on Switch and, in case it had slipped from your radar, Nintendo UK has shared a brand new launch trailer to celebrate.
If you're anything like us, you'll be scoffing your way through far too much food over the holiday period before inevitably feeling absolutely terrible as a result. If you're then wanting to burn those calories off again, Fitness Boxing is on hand with rhythm-based workouts to make you break a sweat and restore your former glory.
It's actually designed to help you become more fit, improve your general well-being, target specific areas of the body, or simply get active with a friend, with routines which let you jab, hook, and uppercut your way through 20 different songs. You'll find a nice little selection of tracks from artists like Lady Gaga, LMFAO, and Avril Lavigne (full tracklisting here), and a demo is also available in Europe as we speak, so make sure to give it a quick try before you buy.
Fitness Boxing is available right now in Europe for £39.99, and launches on 4th January for $49.99 in North America.
We're painfully aware that we'd look nothing like the beautiful people in that trailer as we flop our weak, feeble arms around, but it does look like good fun. Let us know if you'll be boxing your way to a healthy body this Christmas in the comments.

I’ve yet to play the demo. Might try it this weekend.
I am in favour of anything that makes gaming more active. eSports is as energetic as darts...maybe less so because at least they have to stand up and walk to the oche playing darts!
As sad as it sounds, I'm actually a little tempted by this, lol. I did enjoy Wii Fit U too though...
£40 though?! Seems a bit steep
Edit: That track listing seems a bit bare bones as well
Edit 2 (Because I just played the Demo): They're not even the songs, just instrumentals in a different style. The whole experience was just dull. Nintendo needs to just port over one big sports package with Wii Fits and Wii Sports. Those games were fantastic and sold amazingly well...
I'd rather just get a new gym subscription. It's been over a year since I trained last and apparently I put on a little weight in the meantime...
They should have released this in the new year when all the adverts are "Ate too much over Christmas? You need [insert name of company] to lose that weight"
um...ok. Does it includes water/sweat-proof joycons?
The box art reminded me of Wii Fit Trainer. I'm expecting some boxing moves for the next Smash Bros
I guess today is...boxing day
Can we please get a Fight Night game for Switch, EA? I would play the hell out of a legit boxing game on the Switch. I'd also be down for a Punch Out game with motion controls.
Lame & overpriced, I'll continue to play Wii Fit U, Wii Sports Club, Wii Sports Resort, Exerbeat & EA Sports Active.
Meh. Seems a bit like a cash grab. I find it surprising they didn't even bother slapping it into a direct.
@oji
Hm....
Exerbeat for Wii...
Thanks for the recommendation. 😀
After the demo I preordered the game. I really loved the demo, and imho it's not bad to burn extra calories.
Huh...I wasn't bothered at all but the video makes it look pretty fun
Makes me wanna play Arms.
I stick to my real muay thai training
Considering how well just dance does in the UK Amazon charts, including Wii version which can be up to 12th, this could do well
Been playing it today! It's great! See ya later Couch potatoes! 😊😊😊😊
I still use my Wii Fit U, but I guess it's a start on Switch. I have yet to try the demo, just haven't had the time recently, but I'll give it a go tonight. My biggest peeve is that you can't update the tracklisting, and, I haven't heard anything about DLC for updated tracks.
I'd rather have Wii Fit 4 instead!
Not really. The whole thing here got delayed by 1 week.
@xpromisedx Well yeah, why wouldn't you?
I'd care if you could add your own tracks. I may see if there is a Japanese version.
@MeloMan I hope we get DLC tracks and Trainers!
