@SmaggTheSmug It doesn't have impossible mode (yet, FB2 got No Mercy later so hopefully), but it does have the ATATATATATA in battle mode (against bosses)
I've played all three of these now and the biggest thing I noticed for getting the joycons to read right is to throw proper punches and turn off rumble. The rumble seemed to have issues on longer sessions in 1 and 2, so I've just kept it off in this one. For this game it feels like they are a bit less forgiving on the perfect punches though (or I've gotten worse).
Really for me the biggest pluses weren't really mentioned here: the whole unlock system changed to push for perfect sessions (outfits unlock after getting full marks in sessions when using that instructor, progressively requiring more perfect sessions as you go down the list), made the extra instructors only available after beating them in the boss battles (at the end of each battle "tree" there is a boss battle with the new instructor, each tree focuses on specific combos), and added a daily goal system (do three random things like get 500 punches or weigh yourself for bonus points to purchase unlocks) which is awesome for keeping engaged. Honestly the game has been more than I was expecting (a clone with Fist of the North Star characters thrown in); it feels more like a proper game this time around and I can see myself playing this for quite a while.
For those who are curious, the western (or at least the US) E-Shop release doesn't actually include any Asian voice options. I'm assuming it's due to licensing, but as someone who speaks both Japanese and English (and the store page clearly listing both in the language section) it's a bit disappointing. The game is super corny anyways though (the world is ruled by fitness!) and it's probably one of the best western voice overs I've heard in quite a while.
