Fitness Boxing and Fantasian join this week’s eShop roundup
As the year begins to wind down, there’s still plenty of Nintendo newness to get you to the end of 2024. This week’s eShop roundup includes the latest Fitness Boxing outing, along with the Final Fantasy-inspired Fantasian, plus a new season of Fornite fun.
First up is Fitness Boxing 3: Your Personal Personal Trainer. It’s been about four years since the previous outing. We quite enjoyed our time with Fitness Boxing 2, and we’ve already spent some time with the demo of this new outing. There’s nothing like exercising ahead of those big Christmas dinners, so the timing of Fitness Boxing 3 is spot on.
Fantasian: Neo Dimension is also available this week. We discussed Fantasian on last week’s episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast, giving a recap of the unique way this game was created. It uses hand-made backgrounds with digital characters and foregrounds, giving it quite a detailed and special look. It also hails from the original creator of Final Fantasy, providing a great reputation before we even begin playing.
There’s also new Nintendo Music to enjoy. The latest soundtrack to be added is the funk-rock stylings of Splatoon 2. We chat about our experience with these tunes on our next episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast.
If that’s not enough, then perhaps you’ll dig the complete edition of Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. This is now available on mobile devices for a special introductory price, so check it out. We’ll also be discussing this on our next episode of the podcast, so stay tuned for our thoughts!
There’s a long list of titles to consider, so check out the full list below. What are you playing this week?
