Publisher Nintendo and developer Imagineer have announced the exercise game, Fitness Boxing, will launch for the Nintendo Switch on December 21 in Europe and January 4, 2019 in North America.
Here is an overview of the game:
Get off the couch and get moving with fun, boxing-based rhythmic exercises set to the instrumental beats of songs by popular artists, including Lady Gaga, Pitbull and Kesha. You can personalize your workouts by selecting from different fitness goals. Train your way, whether you’re on your own, with a friend, at home, or on the go! Now you can work out anytime, anywhere on the Nintendo Switch system!
Get down your boxing basics while getting down to instrumental versions of 20 unlockable hit songs, including “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO, “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepson, and “Sugar” by Maroon 5. Punch and squat while gripping the Joy-Con controllers to get your whole body moving—no additional gym equipment required!
Daily training ranges from 10-40 minutes and offers both Normal and Fast mode. The game software estimates your approximate BMI and daily calories burned so you can track your progress. Choose from a diverse group of trainers and customize their look with unlockable trainer outfits. As you progress, you can earn more songs and more challenging training circuits. If you prefer to work out with a buddy, you can use two sets of Joy-Con controllers or share a pair to enjoy working out cooperatively or test your skills by facing off against each other in a virtual ring!

I wonder why Nintendo is reticent to just dust off their old Wii/DS era titles, adapt their presentation a bit and just make those games themselves, instead of relying on copycat 3rd party games. Nintendogs, Wii Sports, Wii Fit... They weren't bad games, and even if they want to distance themselves from the Wii brand, they still have the potential to make tons of money with relatively low efford.
Yeah, I wonder that too. I don't believe the motion control gamers are gone. This is the first game from Nintendo addressing this crowd. And it is directed in the fitness area. A Wii sports like title could work very well I think.
