Nintendo has announced that Walk with me! Do you know your walking routine? for Nintendo DS is scheduled for a June 5 release across Europe.
The “lifestyle software’ is designed to ensure users include an active walking routine as part of their lifestyle. The software has been designed exclusively for the Nintendo DS and will include two specially designed pedometers called Activity Meters which measure the user’s daily steps minute by minute.
Your walking data is collected and stored on the Activity Meter for up to seven days and can be easily transferred to your Nintendo DS, so you can track your progress. Simply point the Activity Meter at the Nintendo DS like a TV remote control and with one click of the button on the meter, the stored walking data will be sent by infrared signal.
Walk with me! Also offers a variety of mini-games designed to help motivate users to walk more. Players can use their collected steps to unlock trivia, create images and find out how much electrical energy their walking would have generated for the day.
Using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection it will also be possible for users to compare their walking routine with people all over the world. There are two other great ways of bringing your walking routine to life and sharing the fun.
Space Journey
You can post your own step data to combine it with users around the world and create a world step count. This is then used to plot a virtual walk across the solar system. The distance between planets has been calculated in steps and you will see graphically how you and other world users are doing on your journey through space.
World Ranking
Every Sunday the walking rankings for all users will be updated on a global scale with an interim ranking every day covering total steps, highest step count in the world and the previous week’s step count. Anyone who then updates their game will be able to view the world’s top ranked players and how far they have walked.
Walk with me! Do you know your walking routine? is scheduled to launch across Europe on June 5.
