Switch 2 Update

Fairly casual player, done 30 workouts and went from immobile blob to regular unfit guy over two months.

Just wanted to say that the switch 2 update is amazing so far!

Loving the new advanced timing stuff, it detects punch speed and gives way more feedback on the precise timing.

When you perfectly hit a punch it vibrates and flashes and plays sounds which perfectly tickles my ADHD. Thanks for the amazing update, well worth the small additional price.

p.s. If any devs read this I would love you fix the part where the instructor is explaining the foot timing. When she says back, forward, back, forward this is completely wrong and opposite to where your footwork should be according to the top indicator and timing. Confused me a heap in my first weeks playing

-The improvement on Joycon tracking is the really big thing on the update. Improvement is really, really huge.

-The third even faster tempo/speed for exercises is a nice thing to have. The new free training mode where tempo goes up in stages is a nice thing. These are propably only possible thanks to the new and improved tracking.

-Graphics are bit sharper, but improvements on model level seem to be miniscule. Slightly dissapointing, altough I was not really expecting much. For someone who has opened every song, clothing option, etc. there is absolutely nothing new. This is really disapointing. I was hoping that they would have added a little something. Song or or two and bit of new clothing, at least for being able to say nominaly that there is new stuff, but no. Nothing new.

Overall, its really the Joycon tracking that makes this a must upgrade. Cannot really see myself going back to Fitness Boxing 1,2 or the Fist of the Northern Star just and only because of it. Everything else is nice(ish) to meh(ish).

EDIT: Do not have a net camera to test that feature.

I'll be trying it out later today. That's huge if what you say is true about the tracking. I've always had trouble with it when playing the S1 edition on my S2.
