'Fit Boxing Fist of the North Star ~You are already thin~' is set in the year 20XX, when the flames of the final war were engulfed. `` Get back love (health) with exercise !!'' So the player will work hard to exercise.



If I were to study under Kenshiro, I would like him to teach me Hokuto Shinken, but Kenshiro says, ``Hokuto Shinken is inherited from a single child, so I can't teach you.'' Instead, it will teach you the secrets of exercise.



So start exercising. Kenshiro will teach you in detail how to stretch and basic posture.




Here's what the exercise looks like: Icons such as 'S' and 'J' flow from the bottom of the screen according to the music, so when the icon overlaps the frame, stick your arm forward and punch.



If the icon overlaps the left frame, stick out the left arm, and if it overlaps the right frame, stick out the right arm. S is for 'straight' and J is for 'jab'. Other familiar boxing techniques such as 'hook' will also appear. Also, you need to keep rocking your body back and forth while playing.



When you finish exercising, it will tell you your calorie consumption and body age.



The content so far is almost the same as '

The most important feature of 'Fit Boxing Hokuto no Ken ~ You are already thin ~' is that it has a 'fierce battle' that can challenge the strong enemies of Hokuto no Ken.



In 'Fierce Battle', the player assumes the role of Kenshiro and fights against enemy characters while listening to Toki's advice.



When fighting enemy characters, it's OK if you throw out punches in rhythm.



If you throw a punch at the right time, the enemy will fall while emitting familiar death spells such as 'Abeshi' and 'Hidebu'. The exhilarating feeling when you can defeat enemies in a row is considerable.




You can check how the enemy characters are actually defeated in the following movie.

As you progress through the 'Fierce Battle' stage, you will be able to fight strong enemies such as Shin and Raoh.



Before fighting Shin, a famous scene from the original work is inserted to make you feel better.



When fighting Shin, there is a 'Shin's attack part' unlike small enemies. During Shin's attack, you need to follow the instructions displayed on the screen to punch and counter the attack.



Also, when the battle reaches its climax, Shin unleashes 'Nanto Thousand Head Dragon Strike'. 'Nanto Thousand Dragon Strike' can also be defended by punching in rhythm, but the whole screen is wrapped in flashy effects, so the tension is considerable.




On the other hand, the player side also accumulates the mystery gauge by continuing to succeed in punching during the battle, and you can release the mystery at the end of the battle. When fighting Shin, I was able to release 'Hokuto Hyakureken'.





In the movie below, you can see how you fight Shin.

Even a normal 'fight' is quite tiring, but when confronting Shin, it was necessary to unleash continuous punches in order to release the Hokuto Hyakureken at the end, so it was like putting on the final push at the gym. I was able to enjoy the feeling of squeezing out to the end.



If you defeat Rei, Souther, and Raoh in a fierce battle, you will be able to designate him as an instructor. However, in the fierce battle, you can only challenge in the order of Shin, Rei, Jagi, Souther, and Raoh, so you need to work hard every day to designate your favorite character as an instructor.
