Your Personal Trainer sur Switch par jeuxvideo.com

The sport blow

Just like its predecessors, Fitness Boxing 3: Your Personal Trainer aims to make players sweat in front of their screen, and like the other two parts, it intends to do so via aerobic exercises using movements from the boxing world. Whether you are a novice in the field or an expert trained in Gym Tonic, the software developed by Imagineer has everything you need in its duffel bag to help you keep – or get back – in shapein joy and good humor.

Joy-Con in the hands, the title still offers training exercises to perform via two main categories. The first, entitled “session of the day”, is a personalized program that meets the demands of budding athletes. Choice of objective (exertion, endurance, etc.), areas to work (biceps, abdominals, etc.), duration (between 10 and 40 minutes), speed, movements to be performed, etc. the options reflect the general presentation, they go straight to the essential and are not cluttered with superfluities.

The second major section, “Free training”, provides access to exercises focusing on particular blows, such as jabs, hooks, uppercuts and even dodges. It also offers two fairly anecdotal new features: seated boxing, which as its name suggests makes us chain movements without having to move our buttocks from the sofa, and the glove activity, where we have to hit the paws in the requested way. coach's bear. Obviously welcome additions although dispensable, these modes bringing nothing new in the things to be done or in the overall challenge. Especially since with such lazy movement recognition, it is already possible to do boxing while sitting. As usual, the section “stretching” only plays videos with gestures to reproduce without needing to hold your Joy-Cons.

Regulars from the start will therefore not be dizzy in the face of the meager new features. Personal instructions to enter in order to define the best sequences, 6 customizable coaches only, challenges to succeed in order to glean a few coins (to spend on clothes for your coaches or on additional music), two-player mode (playable with one or two pairs of Joy-Cons), sober interface favoring functionality over flashiness… you sweat on familiar ground, to familiar sounds. Indeed, unlike the other two opuses, Fitness Boxing 3 has 20 licensed tracks (out of 30) – chiptune version – with music from Kiss, Elton John, Billie Eilish, Madonna, Britney Spears, but also Kylie Minogue. The establishment of “fitness age” is done under the tubes, and not just those of magnesium lotion! It should be noted that it is possible to shake your wrist with your coach via exercises which are unlocked depending on the level of affinity.

Without wearing gloves

The basics of Fitness Boxing 3's gameplay remain strictly unchanged from previous iterations. You are still required to throw your fists in different ways while holding a Joy-Con firmly in each hand at a set rhythm during different routines. On paper, the legs are also used, but the game has no way of knowing if we are positioning ourselves as it really requires. To tell the truth, the software published by Nintendo is not capable of recognizing much. Any gesture recorded by the movement sensor is accepted during an exercise. This means that all you have to do is make a sharp gesture with your Joy-Con in your hand for Fitness Boxing 3 to congratulate you for successfully completing a hook, an uppercut, or even a rotating dodge. Of course, we understand that there is no point in trying to trick the machine to score more points, since the interest of the software lies in maintaining good physical health, but all the same… there is surely has a happy medium to find between accepting everything and being implacably intransigent.

If sneezing instead of performing a hook is considered “parfait” through play, then the desire to surpass oneself necessarily disappears. When the coach's eye lets us do everything, and potentially do it wrong, then what is the point? Of course, the coach gives oral instructions (unfortunately in English with French subtitles), but his inability to better advise/warn us if we are not doing something well remains disappointing. In this sense, Fitness Boxing 3 is a step back from what Kinect productions have offered in the past. This constant accessibility at least has the merit of allowing us to have fun without the many constraints imposed by sports games that are played in front of a camera lens. However, with this blatant lack of precision in movement recognition, we are left wanting more. There would be no daily monitoring in the statistics, we would almost advise you to take fitness DVDs. After, If what you are looking for is above all to gesture with your arms while having the impression of doing good things for your health, Fitness Boxing 3 is calibrated for you.
