Next Fitness Boxing starring legendary boxer Hatsune Miku coming West this Fall

Aksys Games has announced that the next installment of their Fitness Boxing series is coming West this Fall. Previously announced for Japan, Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku is a version of Fitness Boxing that features Hatsune Miku, if that wasn’t clear.

If you’re unfamiliar, Fitness Boxing is an alleged exercise game where you perform various boxing punches in time to pop music instrumentals. If you’re unfamiliar with Hatsune Miku, she’s a Vocaloid voicebank that broke free from her software prison to become a full-fledged pop star. If you’re unfamiliar with Vocaloid, it’s a voice synthesizer so you can experience what it’s like to control a computerized voice before they control us.

It’s not a terribly weird mix when you consider that Hatsune Miku is a music… thing and Fitness Boxing is a rhythm game. However, she’s not what I think of when I think about fitness or boxing. We last saw Fitness Boxing: Fist of the North Star, and while that’s a license that isn’t focused on boxing, it is at least fighting-adjacent. Punches are often thrown.

Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku will set you up to train with Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, and Megurine Luka, with Lin and Evan from the core Fitness Boxing series joining as instructors. I don’t know who any of these people are. It will feature 24 songs from Piapro, along with “Melt” and “The Vampire” which I’m guessing are popular.

I don’t have much familiarity with Hatsune Miku. I was considering getting Fitness Boxing 2, since I recently started taking Muay Thai kickboxing lessons. Not that I think it will help, but it might at least be fun exercise that aligns somewhat with my new interest.

Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku has a vague release date of Fall for the West on Switch. It’s already out in Japan and is supposed to come out in the rest of Asia on July 12.
