Fitness Boxing 2will grant players access to three new digital personal trainers, and will continue to allow players to customize their trainers with new outfits. Each trainer is said to have a unique personality, which should help players to find one that fits with their personal mood and fitness level.Fitness Boxing 2is also introducing the ability to turn off certain types of boxing maneuvers, which may open up the platform to those who can’t perform certain moves due to injuries or other physical limitations. The teaser also notes that new remixed music will be coming with the game, as well as an alarm system that players can use to remind them toplay the game and work out, even if the Switch is in standby mode.
Returning from the prior entry are the original six trainers and the two-player fitness mode. Players will also be able to transfer their save from the prior game toFitness Boxing 2so that they can continue to track their progress seamlessly.
Fitness Boxing 2looks like it will let players get a moderate-to-high intensity workout in the comfort of their home without the need for extra peripherals (and thus a higher cost) likeRing Fit Adventure. WhileRing Fit Adventurecontinues to dominate the sales charts, there’s definitely room for another fitness game to help keep players engaged and committed to their fitness goals.
