Knockout Home Fitness wants to get you sweating all over your Joy-Con

Punch and kick your way to a healthier you

If you know anything about me from my years on this site, it’s that I’ve struggled with my weight for most of my life. It’s my Absolute Virtue, the nigh-unbeatable boss I can’t defeat no matter how many home fitness video games I buy. Just when I think I’m gaining ground on it, that jerk casts Benediction and I have to start all over. But I keep trying, and chances are, I’ll still be working at defeating that foe when Xseed’s Knockout Home Fitness arrives this fall for Nintendo Switch.

Originally released in Japan as FiNC Home Fit, Knockout Home Fitness uses martial arts techniques to get you in shape. There are four trainers to choose from and a variety of ways to plan your daily workouts. Basically, it looks a lot like Fitness Boxing, but with more kicks and less emphasis on music.
