Fitness Boxing Fist Of The North Star Is Getting A Physical Release In The West

Imagineer surprised fitness fans earlier this year with the release of Fitness Boxing Fist of the North Star on the Nintendo Switch.

As you might recall, it’s a crossover of the popular manga and anime series Fist of the North Star, where you have characters like Kenshiro as your instructor, and once you’ve warmed up, you’re tasked with beating up enemies and rivals in boss battles.

If you didn’t jump on the digital release when it arrived earlier this year in March, a physical Switch release for the West has now also been confirmed. Imagineer is teaming up with 2 Solutions Go to release this hard copy across America, Europe and Australia on 5th December 2023.

Here’s a bit more about this game from our Nintendo Life review. And if you’ve not tried this game out yet, there’s a demo you can download from the Switch eShop right now.

“What we have here, though, is instead a spin-off of Imagineer’s Fitness Boxing series, which has already had two more straightforward entries released on the Switch. The twist, naturally, is that instead of having inoffensively pleasant trainers teaching you how to jab, hook, and uppercut your way to better physical health, this time you’re led through your exercises by a big anime sod with arms like cartoon hams.”
