[ # ] Lose Weight with Your DS

Looks like the Nintendo DS could possibly be joining its big brother the Nintendo Wii as a fitness tool. The Wii is currently used in some schools for kids to lose weight in PE and Wii Fit is coming out in April to solidify the Wii’s status as the weight losing game console of choice. In tune with the whole Nintendo is good for you trend, Ubisoft will be releasing My Weight Loss Coach for the Nintendo DS to help you lose those rolls around your waist. The game ships with a pedometer that you simply carry on yourself all day while it counts all the steps you take. At the end of the day, plug it into the Game Boy Advance slot and you can track the amount of physical activity you’ve done. Certainly it’s not as strenuous as Wii Fit or even Wii Sports (ever try boxing?) but it’s a healthy step in the right direction, especially for games who are not exactly the most physical crowd.
