Fitness fans in Europe and Australia can now get their hands on Knockout Home Fitness either digitally via the eShop or physically at select retailers.
The game launched in the US last month, with those of us on the other side of the Atlantic having to wait just a little bit longer to check it out for ourselves. It's a new Switch-exclusive title that has you choosing from one of four personal trainers to guide you through 60 crafted workouts.
Developed in partnership with Japan's leading personal training app, Knockout: Home Fitness sees players immerse themselves in calorie-burning exercises simply by using the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con. As part of these exercises, players will be introduced to numerous martial arts practices, including Boxing, Karate and Muay Thai, while being supported by one of four different in-game trainers, each of which will be fully voiced in English, French and German languages.
In our review of the game, we noted that Knockout Home Fitness contains perfectly effective routines, but feels "a little too limited, old-fashioned, and outclassed" by its competition on Switch, such as the excellent Ring Fit Adventure.
Still, are you planning on checking this one out? Let us know if you're ready for a new Switch fitness routine to kickstart your day in the comments below.

Well, this game lack of male trainer choices as not everyone feel comfort to choose female trainers as i still prefer male trainer as my virtual coach.
Also, this game need some in house production songs like BEMANI games that they can produce their original songs without depending too much on licensed songs.
I bought it and I think that it's more better than fitness boxing. I like it
Bargain basement purchase for me but I do definitely want it in the long run
Be nice if the trailer had a person doing the moves
@sirmrguitardude One of the Japanese trailers features a person doing the moves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wcW6x-q0Ac
And apparently XSEED uploaded this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umfoXn-qAcw
I was wondering how the game would recognize kicks, and it turns out that kicks require you to move your upper body in a certain manner.
@farrgazer Thanks for the links!
