If the music is better I’m getting that. FB2’s track are unbearably bad
When does this come out in the US?
Is there a physical release for this?
Question: Is there a JPN voice option?
Is there a way you could get the workouts and train on an actual heavy bag? Or do you need to use the joycons to complete the workout/proceed?
I bought a Switch specifically for workout games and have just about all of them. I had no idea this game was coming out and was pleasantly surprised but wondered if it was just a re-skin of the other two FB games. Full disclosure: I had no idea who these characters are or what they are from.
Downloaded the demo and was sold. The battle mode is a great addition. I like having a goal of knocking out X number of opponents and if you reach that number, it continues counting up. I just got it so I’m not sure if it uses that information to increase how many you need to knock out in future workouts, but either way, I’m really liking this mode.
Just did the daily workout and while a lot of the commentary is the same as the previous game, the music is a bit heavier here and the backgrounds are much more pleasing to me. The FB2 ones are very sort of pop and pastel. These feel a little more, I don’t know, gritty maybe?
Another HUGE addition to this game that makes my disabled– or very out of shape now but trying to get fit– friends very happy is that in this version, you can go into the settings and turn off weaving, ducking, steps, side steps and body punches. If you don’t want to turn them off entirely, you can choose to have them auto scored. This is quite a big deal for wheelchair bound folks and others with disabilities that want to get moving in a fun way but are unable to do the bobbing, weaving and ducking that’s required in most fitness apps. Those that are really out of shape can turn them off at first and turn them on once they get a bit more stamina. That feature made me happy to drop the cash on this game.
