While no fitness game has quite exploded onto the scene like Nintendo’sWii Fit, a number of games have attempted to combine video game mechanics with getting in better shape or maintaining one’s current level of fitness. Despite the name, this is actually the fifth iteration of theFitness Boxingseries for the Nintendo Switch, thoughnot allFitness Boxinggames are still available.

Hiro is the newFitness Boxing 3trainerbeing introduced, and gamers can select him as soon as they download the free update for the game.

While fitness video games aren’t for everyone, the success of games likeWii Fit,Zumba, and evenJust Dancehave led to numerous entries into the genre over the years. The portable nature of the Nintendo Switch means that users can potentially take it anywhere with them and squeeze in a workout when they’re able, which adds to the appeal. Nintendo is no stranger to the trend on the Switch, either, with its ownRing Fit Adventureseeing significant success. Games likeRing Fit Adventureand theFitness Boxingseries provided guided workout experiences from home, which were an especially welcome opportunity during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic when gyms were shut down and personal trainers were out of reach due to social distancing protocols. The fitness gaming trend seems here to stay.
