Switch!\u00a0 Use the JoyCons to perform cardio and strength actions to give energy to a virtual fitness trainer.\u00a0 You can pick from three female and three male trainers.\u00a0 The energy you give them by doing the exercises correctly lets them perform extreme activities like climbing buildings or swinging across bridges in a virtual world that makes me think of TRON.\u00a0 Oddly enough, this game was published by Spike Chunsoft, who specializes in a lot of niche RPGs, and developed by Jupiter, who makes a lot of Picross titles!<\/p>\n<p>You can choose a daily routine or customize one yourself.\u00a0 You\u2019ll do a series of alternating cardio and strength movements and you get a better score if you follow the movements close on screen.\u00a0 You can do Easy, Medium, and Hard versions, which just gives you more sets of each to do.\u00a0 After you do an exercise, you get experience points and when you get enough, you\u2019ll level up and can unlock new exercises and outfits for your trainers.\u00a0 You can also edit your trainers\u2019 looks and outfits and your own profile as well.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the time the game reads your JoyCon movements just fine, but every now and then I had a little trouble getting it to work right.\u00a0 Also this game seems pretty low impact and made me lose interest quickly.\u00a0 I\u2019d say a gym membership would be a much better investment.\u00a0 But if you must have an at-home fitness game, this one can\u2019t beat Ring Fit Adventures, which I think is the best fitness game ever made.<\/p>\n<p><a
