What happens when you combine a fitness game series with one of the greatest action manga of all time? You get Fitness Boxing: Fist of the North Star, an exercise game for Nintendo Switch where you’ll throw hands under the tutelage of magical martial arts masters. Since launch last year, Fitness Boxing: Fist of the North Star’s price has remained steady at $50, but right now you can get it for $40 at Amazon and Best Buy.
As you’d imagine, this Fitness Boxing spin-off puts a wasteland coat of paint on its design as Kenshiro puts you through your paces. Will it teach you his explosive-tickling attacks? Not at all, but for those days when you’re looking to blow off some steam with a flurry of punches, this game provides a nice outlet for you.
Of course, a Fist of the North Star video game isn’t enough, and for more of the manga series that can best be described as Mad Max meets Saw on steroids, you can also grab several manga and Blu-ray releases for less than retail price.
For the original manga, most of the stories have been reprinted in a range of hardcover editions. These large-scale reprints run about 300 pages each and have a uniform appearance that will make them look great next to each other on your shelf. You can pick them up individually, or you can save some cash and buy several of them in a single bundle. Currently, the first seven Fist of the North Star volumes are priced at $112 (normally $140).
