DualShockers: Fitness Boxing Rated T for Teen for Accurately Depicting the Female Form

why would he be joking? of course nintendo is pissed at this rating. they would want this game to get an E for sure.
Sorta-kinda related: Do you remember the hilarious Ubisoft claim that women were too difficult to animate (in defense of AC:U not having any playable women characters)?

As usual.
It's rated 7 by PEGI, however it's not due to "tit-physics" but "non-realistic violence in a child-friendly setting"
I agree much more with that :)
I sort of agree. We have subcutaneous fat all over our bodies and it all moves. The breasts are probably more noticeable, but largely because many of us go out of our way to notice them...
The real-life women in the video had more jiggle than the virtual trainer.
As said, the jiggling isn't really noticeable on the default trainer, but some of them do have pronounced erm... physics.
The only thing I noticed more was the slow-down on some of the stages, it can chug in handheld mode at points, which's odd.
I did wonder what Era's take on it would be. It's a good 'game' though...

Yeah, and it's not like developers put as much effort on other moving bits of people's bodies as they seem to put on women's breasts. Sometimes it feels extremely jarring, IMO.
All right the characters are preeeeetty sexualized though. Male and female. The boobs and the dudes are fuckin huge. And you can dress them in skimpy outfits?
I dunno there's a difference between this, and, say, Wii Fit Trainer if she had mild realistic boob jiggle. Granted I also don't think any video game has created realistic boob jiggle, so the typical shitty boob jiggle usually comes off as being implemented for sexy purposes and not realistic purposes. Between the giant boobs and jiggle physics, I'd say this leans towards being implemented for sexy purposes.
Still probably could've gotten an E10+. But I know this Teen rating is to keep my horny pubescent junior high self from dressing up the trainer with enormous boobs in the skimpiest outfit possible and jerking off to the bounciest song in the game. But perhaps kids aren't as sheltered and horny as I once was.
This was a far more graphic post than initially intended.

It's not jarring for me because I'm so used to it. I'm used to it and I'm the Target demographic. The first game with freely moving boobs was dead or alive, and back then it was a real innovation lol since it was mostly young men in the arcade. I was 14 and I loved it! It was such a hit, it's sort of became normal and I don't even notice anymore.
But when I really think about it, yeah it's fuckin weird.
It's there, but is it worth a T rating? I don't know. But it's not like anyone cares. This game is not targetted to pre-teen users anyway and by chance if some kid really wants to play it, I can't imagine their parents be like "no, wait until you're in middle school".
Yeah of COURSE they're pissed at a rating for a game that they already let be finished and released a week ago
One of those "the controversy around this will give the game more publicity than it ever would have gotten otherwise."
If not for perusing the eshop obsessively I don't think I would have even known this came out.
This, the real girl in the pink hoodie for example was more noiceable than anything inside the game.
PEGI wins again.
Also the game actually looks a lot of fun and as a designer i found those character models (female and male models) nice and easy to the eyes, also you change skin colors to black in any of them so thats another plus.
I don't think they just have the rating suddenly sprung on them. I'm sure they could've gone back and had them edit stuff to make it E. I don't think Nintendo cares that much. Could be wrong though.
If you're looking for physical games because you're looking for a workout, this beats ARMS easily.
I saw the Giantbomb QL. The game rewards you with a "prize" of a see-through halter top to put on your female trainer. It's completely unnecessary details like this in a fitness game makes me suspicious of the "breast physics" being implented solely for the sake of accurately depicting the female form....
Looking for something to stay warm between getting on and off a stationary bike. We've been doing workouts after work and we alternate between one on beat saber and one on the stationary bike. The bike is where we do the real workout and then beat saber is like a fun break that keeps you moving. It's been really good.
This game is honestly looking pretty good because it's not really a game, so you can focus on putting more into your punches instead of just winning. Thanks for the suggestion, jaded.
I really miss last gen for that Fitness games, used EA Active 2 on PS3 a lot of back then but sadly this year those games are not existant.
Never imagined this thread would get two pages.
I have been thinking of making a thread because it is a pretty good game. Joycon inputs arent perfect but I am on ten plus days straight doing workouts between the demo and retail. You can get a good workout.
The dress up feature is not my thing and kind of tacky. My Wife and I's least favorite part. The gratuitous panning around the whole body is unneeded.
Overall works as a good exercise and light rythym game. They seemingly used computer generated voices and it shows. The trainer will go from calm to wildly excited quickly. Also they all use the same lines; "Boom, Boom, boom" so I just play with headphones in.
Going to keep going to get it ingrained as a habit combined with better eating. So far so good.
The breast physics shouldnt cause the ratings to be T as much as dressing your trainers in bikinis. Not a prude but it is unnecessary and pointless to the game.
Also not happy I cant record good runs or take screens of my good days

Nah, they just didn't record enough varied voice lines.
"To the front! TO THE BACK!"
"Alright THAT'S GOOD."
Breast physics of any description probably trigger an automatic T rating by the ESRB.
Stupid, but you can blame decades of Team Ninja and D3 Publisher games for their current stance.

We walk around the house saying Alright THAT'S GOOD now all the time. I got up tot use the rest room and said I have to go Boom, Boom, BOOM.
They definitely skimped there
maybe not for this game, but i remember in a recent episode of the nintendo power podcast they were talking about how while localizing wind waker everyone at treehouse was panicking because they thought the game might get a T instead of E (E10+ wasn't a thing back then), it's clear that when they can they'd want that E rating to maximize their audience.
Same. I've been on it regularly. It's been harder to bike with the cold, but I typically spend spring and summer biking, so I'm not super out of shape. This game gives me a hell of a workout though. I can't say I've noticed this though.
Honestly, The more detailed the physical simulation, the more immersive experience. Yes, you can argue that moving breasts are inherently titillating, but I don't think that's a good reason not to include it. Having human forms move like human forms is just as important as having believable hair physics, and good particle effects. It aids the suspension of disbelief.
That... really shouldn't change anything. There's a big difference between something like Fitness Boxing's use of physics and DOA's.
OK OP... you made me feel like some weirdo perv for watching damn Nintendo video looking at animated cartoon breasts to see what the hell they were talking about me.
Well played.
Well played.
If anything I'm more put off by the butts on those red and blue avatars.
I just got it this week cos I need to lose some Christmas weight and I've found it tough getting into an exercise regime with a full time job and 2 young kids with a wife who works shifts. I'd recommend it. It's a fun little game which makes you sweat.
I love the implication of bullshit like this. It essentially means a 12 year old can't look at a woman running
Yes of course, but years of having to put up with seeing their stuff is likely what triggered this overprotective attitude to begin with :p
My understanding from the quick look was that that was her default top, not a prize.
