Lose Weight With Nintendo DS

Ever since the release of the Wii, we've been hearing claims about losing weight by playing on Nintendo's console. Now, for a change, Ubisoft throws in the same claim on Nintendo DS.

Today Ubisoft announced that it will publish My Weight Loss Coach for the Nintendo DS. Developed in Ubisoft's Montreal studio under the guidance of both a fitness coach and a nutritionist, My Weight Loss Coach is a program designed to focus on taking positive steps to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

"My Weight Loss Coach allows us to approach casual gamers with something innovative,'? said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. "The game creates customized coaching sessions based on skill level, and, for the first time on DS, includes a pedometer. My Weight Loss Coach not only allows users to take control of their physical well-being, but it does so in a fun and engaging manner.'?

My Weight Loss Coach features include:

• Personal Profiles: Create your personal profile and evaluate your improvement potential, then set up your objectives following the recommendations based on your personal profile
• Input Reward System: Log your progress on a daily or weekly basis, tracking your physical activity and nutrition habits
• The Pedometer: A peripheral device that comes with the game and can be easily updated through your DS, it's the best way to control your daily physical effort, challenge yourself and balance your food intake
• Real-Life Landmark Checkpoints: As a reward, all the physical activities you achieve and good nutrition habits you acquire are converted into measurable distances based on real examples

The title is expected to be released during Summer 2008 in the United States.
