Riddle us this: who has turquoise hair, and can sing, dance, and box? It’s none other than Hatsune Miku, and she’s here to help Nintendo Switch users keep fit. Following its debut in Japan, Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku: Isshoni Exercise will punch its way to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, and Southeast Asia on 12 July.
The upcoming title features the popular virtual superstar as a coach, with fellow Piapro characters Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, and Megurine Luka coming in as partner options. It serves as the successor to Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm and Exercise and Fitness Boxing: Fist of the North Star, offering access to outfit customisation and 99 different routines with over 60 songs — the most in the series.
Meanwhile, the new Miku Exercise mode includes original hits performed by the Piapro members, like “Melt” and “God-ish”, alongside newly composed songs. Instructor voices will be available in Chinese Korean, and English, with language support for Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish.
Released in 2018, Fitness Boxing sees players using the Joy-Con motion controllers to perform punches and dodge maneuvers. The score of each workout is determined by their precision in executing these actions, and the routine, length, and intensity can be adjusted at any time. The game also has charts that calculates estimated fitness age and calorie burn based on a player’s height and weight.
