Imagineer has released new downloadable content for Fitness Boxing 2. The No Mercy Intensity DLC adds a new, more challenging, Intensity level for all 9 Instructors. This is a free DLC that can be downloaded as a bundle or individually for each instructor on the Switch eShop.

Monster Hunter Rise

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Monster Hunter Rise remains at the top with Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 still in the top five.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between February 4 and February 9.

System: Switch
Release date: February 23, 2021
Developer: Koei Tecmo / Omega Force
Publisher: Atlus


Less than a month after the Switch launched in March 2017, Atlus and P-Studio released the critically acclaimed RPG Persona 5 on PlayStation platforms – and since then, fans of the franchise have been begging the powers that be for a Switch release of the high school simulator/interdimensional dungeon-crawler. That has yet to happen, but the launch of Persona 5 Strikers is perhaps the next best thing – a sequel that shares the iconic characters and sense of style of Persona 5, but featuring an entirely new story and style of gameplay that’s even faster and flashier than the original game. Strikers is an excellent action game with an engaging narrative that is sure to captivate any fan of the franchise – but newcomers to Persona may have a hard time jumping in without playing the original.
