Nintendo announces Fitness Boxing for Nintendo Switch

We’re surprised it’s taken this long for Nintendo to announce a fitness-focused game for the Nintendo Switch, but better late than never we guess.  Truth be told, even though Imagineer and not Nintendo is developing Fitness Boxing, it is set to be published by the big N on January 4th, 2019, so it’s a step in the right direction.

Fitness Boxing, which is at heart a music rhythm title mixed with boxing, will feature a number of modes for play in TV and portable tabletop mode for single and two players arrangements.

See some screens of the game below and read on for the fact sheet, screens and game details!
