The Fitness Boxing We've All Been Waiting For (Fist of the North Star Review)

Fitness Boxing

Fist of the North Star (Review)





  Over the weekend Nintendo released its third game of the Fitness Boxing franchise. Fist of the North Star is the Fitness Boxing we’ve been waiting for. This new installment incorporates characters from the 1986 Mark III video game Fist of the North Star. 


    Nintendo attempted a sequel to Fitness Boxing which seemed more like an overpriced DLC. Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm and Exercise included two brand new instructors and a new playlist of music. Being a fan of Fitness Boxing since the first game was released in 2018, I was looking for a new version to give me more ways to track my progress. 




    With all of the old trackers from the original game, Fist of the North Star adds new achievements as well as a way to track your accuracy as a Southpaw and Orthodox fighting style and a new daily challenge each day. Unfortunately you are unable to sync your progress from the older games but with all the time spent acquiring  skills from the first Fitness Boxing I found it easy to quickly defeat the first boss on a “hard” difficulty level.

   



     


      Like both Fitness Boxing 1 and 2, First of the North Star also includes a daily workout, however, I found it much more fun getting my workout on in “Battle Mode”. This new mode allows the player to fight their way through a multitude of enemies using the Fitness Boxing mechanics and combos until you reach the final Boss Battle. Every time I would play in battle mode I’d forget it was even a workout. All I needed was a headset to make me feel like I was in a complete VR game.





    As you fight your way through Battle Mode and deafest bosses, those bosses then become unlockable instructors that you can purchase in the shop. Fist of the North Star includes 4 unlockable instructors based on characters from the game and 1 mystery instructor that will be unlocked once you defeat all the bosses in battle mode. Each instructor has their own set of clothing that can be purchased with fitness points that you earn by completing daily workouts and missions. 


My hopes is that Imagineer will

Minecraft Dungeons

Minecraft Dungeons Being a fan of dungeon crawlers since the classic Gauntlet Legends, you could imagine my excited when I found out that the creators of Minecraft had created a dungeon crawler within the Minecraft universe.   I first started playing Minecraft in 2020 on my MacBook. Only playing in creation mode, I would tunnel through mountains and caverns, creating my own kind of dungeon crawler experience. Fast forward, 3 years later, my dream comes true when I find out that Minecraft Dungeons was created for RPG gamers like me who wanted a Minecraft game with a Diablo feel. Finding loot, killing zombies and customizing my character build, Minecraft Dungeons gives me all the feels of a classic top/bottom dungeon crawlwr. Unlike, Diablo however, this game is for the whole family to enjoy. Minecraft Dungeons is the perfect game for both advanced RPG gamers and first-timers.   Writer KhanOfCons  khanofcons@gmail.com

Black Adam or Whack Adam

Black Adam or Whack Adam                After hearing about the below average reviews from both critics and DC fans and the departure Dwayne Johnson from the DCU, I thought it was about time to give the Black Adam movie a shot.  Played by Dwayne Johnson, Black Adam, one of the DC's greatest super villains and arch-nemesis to the super hero Captain Marvel (also known as Shazzam) would get his own movie in 2022. Black Adam (left) Hawk-man (right)     After watching it for myself for first time, I could not wrap my head around where all the negativity was coming from. I was not expecting top tier acting but to my surprise, both acting and character interactions was better than I expected. For example, the rivalry between Hawk-man (played by Aldis Hodge) and Black Adam had been well developed putting a skeptical yet courageous hero against a mysterious and vengeful antihero.  This plot is very similar to another DC movie,...
