A free demo has launched on the Switch eShop for Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm & Exercise, an upcoming fitness title from Nintendo and developer Imagineer.
The demo will give players the chance to try out the Daily Exercise and Free Training modes available in the full game. You can play these alone or with a friend to see how you get on before the main course launches on 4th December.
Earlier today, we shared our early hands-on impressions with the full game, noting that it’s essentially a case of ‘more of the same’ after the original game's release almost two years ago. If you're interested in learning more about it, we'd urge you to check that out.
For now, though, we'll leave you with this official description. You'll find the demo available on the Switch eShop as we speak.
Jab, uppercut, and dodge along with the rhythm of three original songs to score as many points as possible. Players can start their daily boxing routine in Daily Exercise mode for a guided workout, or build their own session from scratch in Free Training mode. The six original instructors from the first Fitness Boxing game are back, and three new instructors are joining the ring: Karen, Hiro and Janice. These personal trainers will be here to support and encourage players during their workout sessions. Friends and family members can each use one Joy-Con for a two-player training session, working out together.

To the eshop!
Love the first one.
Will get this.
Better than ring fit due to multiplayer options as well as gives a better overall workout.
As a martial arts practitioner, I appreciate that the moves are also pretty legit.
Would have preferred localization of Japan’s FiNC game coming out... but this will do
@TimboSlice
"as well as gives a better overall workout"
More calories burned? Or does it also work more muscle groups/can target muscle groups?
Personally, I like RFA for mixing it up, but I HATE the small calorie burn.
And yes, I'm downloading this immediately when I get home, because, as nice as RFA is, I've already beaten it so my motivation to play it is gone.
I’ll download as soon as I get home.
Downloading it right now!
Karen the trainer? Maybe she'll be good, I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't judge this, but I won't be picking this one up.
I loved the first game. Thanks NL for telling us about the demo!
The first one was good. I enjoyed it. So I'm almost certain to get this 2nd iteration unless it is somehow a car crash.
Wow, the first one was T for teen for featuring, some Not so PG things, but now It's E so that's a good!
NO thank you!!! I have no desire to exercise even if it's free.
Kick! Punch ! It’s all in the mind.
I want the new features they added, but I don’t use the first one enough to justify buying it again.
I have the first game digitally. Wish there was a more affordable upgrade path for those that bought the first game.
Yeah, it's a one-two punch, alright — awkward on-press rhythm game combined with mindless shadow boxing. This one's not for me.
@nimnio once you unlock the higher levels, the combos include dips, rolls, and ducks, which engage you quads and hams like squats do.
So yes, there is some body weight component.
You can also lengthen the exercise duration and tell the game what part you want to focus on.
I’d say that regardless of your fitness goal, fitness boxing is the better alternative.
RingFit gets a tad boring over time, more so than fitness boxing.
Wow thx Timbo for the heads up. Downloading now!
I was wondering how this compared to RF. And, I'm on a budget.
