I, personally, have no problem with a short experience being $15. With devs padding out game lengths and the birth of the DLC and loot box era, the old equati0ns for value over time have gone out the window. I played Destiny for 2000 hours, but I honestly can't remember much of anything about it. I paid $20 for INSIDE and played it for 4 hours, but I can remember every single perfect moment of that game. Good review, I will check this Ape... Out.
Looks like Dead Cells x Enter The Gunge0n by way of Super C0ntra. Looks absolutely rad. I saw another trailer a while back and could not remember the name of the game for the nintendo life of me. I'm so glad this came up 0n my feed. And I'm even more HYPE that it's real and didn't become vaporware.
@Cosats Imagineer patched the game just a couple of days ago with the ability to take screenshots (no idea why that wasn't there from Day 0ne), so hopefully more people will be able to share their success stories and others will also see the value of the product.
@Bondi_Surfer Just consider what $50 would get you as far as kickboxing classes go. That's probably 4 or 5 half hour classes. Good 0n you for getting started!
No idea why I keep hearing complaints about the cover songs. This isn't Rock Band. Why would they pay to license a song and have full vocal tracks only to drown them out with the trainer yelling punch combos and instructi0ns at you? I think playing Fitness Boxing to enjoy music makes as much sense as playing Rock Band to get a workout.
Fitness Boxing is "gamified" exercise equipment. It's not really a game. As exercise equipment, I think it's fantastic. I've used it everyday since launch. 19 hours and 36,000 punches so far. Workout tips, advice, and q&a over here: https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/nintendo-switch/fitness_boxing
I keep seeing comments about the game registering inputs inaccurately. I have to say I am really happy with the joy-c0n accuracy. Wiimote with wii moti0n plus and an IR sensor bar / Kinect with dual IR cameras and motorized self tilt registered 60% at worst and 80% at best of my inputs across every exercise game I tried with them. I would say that Fitness Boxing is around 97% accurate for me. I regularly clear routines with 100% perfect hits. And I don't feel that I have to exaggerate my moves.
I would also urge every0ne to stop looking at this as a "game" that will go 0n sale. This is exercise equipment. c0nsider that in the 2 weeks or 2 months it takes for this "game" to drop in price by $10 and (quite literally) weigh that against how much weight you could have lost in that same time period. Is that worth $10 to you?
So much hate for this game. The Day 7 patch was nothing to worry about. Just gave us an alternate opening cut scene. Don't want to spoil anything, but I thought it was great. It's a free surprise from Grasshopper. People need to chill out. Current Shirt: BIT.TRIP RUNNER
I hope you can play the bosses at Spicy difficulty through a Boss Rush mode. I'm not sure I'll have the time to replay the entire game with all of these new releases cropping up. Current Shirt: GALF Story.
@BenAV Maybe we should just talk about the shirts instead of being negative, since that's what the actual article is about. I am rockin' the hot pink Pocket Rumble shirt. Who's next?
Gameplay, graphics, mechanics, and polish aren't everything. Sometimes a game can be about collecting T-shirts, getting an amazing bowl of ramen from a red skull headed bug chef, and suplexing your Hero into tomorrow. Not for every0ne, but definitely every0ne should be glad it exists and people like Suda51 are out there trying something different and weird.
8/10. Totally agree. Just played a couple of hours in co-op. Tons of fast and frantic fun, all dripping with style. Thoroughly enjoying it. $30 and an 8/10 all seem like fair numbers to mii.
The entitlement is ridiculous. This isn't for you. Stopping development and moving resources away from LABO will not get you another Zelda. They will make something else that targets this demographic and not you. You already have a Switch and are a Nintendo fan. I have seen 4 year olds building LABO and experiencing something magical. They are now Nintendo fans, like you. Missi0n accomplished. Nintendo deserves all the praise in the world for c0ntinuing to manufacture toys. Otherwise, they would just be another c0nsole and we already have 2 of those.
Sounds like it's not for every0ne. Sounds like it's not just about style over substance, but rather style AS substance. Sounds like a Suda51 game. And it's only $30 to boot? Sounds like I'm gonna love it. Thanks for the in-depth review!
@pbb76 According to the game and my watch, I've burned about 3200 calories playing the game. According to my scale, I've lost over 3 pounds. So, yes, the game has made a difference. (I've been eating healthier, too).
@TheLightningYu Totally understandable. I would only prioritize this 0ne if you need some winter workout motivati0n. Otherwise, fun is fun. This is the only 0ne that's Fit, tho.
I just hit my 11 day streak in Fitness Boxing with thousands of punches thrown. I think it's great. I hope this helps get the word out, more people pick it up, and we get DLC routines for it.
My Best Buy GCU is expiring soon, but not before I get Mario Deluxe, Travis Strikes, and now SUPER MEAT BOY! So happ. What a great note to retire the GCU 0n. Thank you TEAM MEAT!!!
@Iacobus They would still sync with regular Joy-c0n. You would just need to buy them separately. I think Nintendo would love to get you in the door with a lower price point and make up the difference by selling you accessories. It's kinda their thing.
I predict there will be 2 versi0ns: -Switch PRO will have more memory, better wifi, better screen, and overall build quality. -Switch GO will have built in Joy-c0n, and a more family friendly plastic frame. I think it will still be able to c0nnect to the TV, though.
I completely agree with the 8. I have played the demo for 14 workouts and feel that is a fair score. The punch registrati0n is very accurate. I have been disappointed with Wii Boxing, Wii Fitness Resort, Wii Fit, and several workout programs 0n the Xbox One that used Kinect. Wii Fitness Boxing is superior to all of them (specifically for a boxing work out). The combos are not just random punches, but actual punch combinations. Great workout and it is fun. I recommend adding tension bands to your workout to increase the intensity. Is your body ready?

Re: Fitness Boxing Faces Stock Shortages In Japan After Players Share Weight Loss Stories Online
@BalrogtheMaster You really won't notice the songs. I typically turn the music down a bit and turn up the trainer's voice and sound fx.
Re: Guide: How To Beat Every Boss In Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes
Playing Travis Strikes makes me want Ramen. So bad. It's like playing Muramasa: The Demon Blade. That game had incredible food, too.
