We know you've been eagerly awaiting the release of Nintendo's Personal Trainer: Walking for the Nintendo DS and DSi. Look, there's no need to play coy: We've caught you circling the block in your new track suit, psyching yourself up for all the fun (and fitness!) you'll be having once you get your hands on those patented Nintendo Activity Meters. According to the company, this bad boy is up for pre-order now and will finally be available for sale on May 26, at a suggested retail price of $49.99. Sweet, huh? Soon you'll be recording every step that you make, transferring the data to your handheld, parsing the stats, and transforming yourself from a slovenly couch potato into the veritable icon of fitness -- and all with the help of your favorite handheld. Welcome to the future... it's fabulous!
FIRST
You're doing it wrong.
Sorry but I'd rather download a $0.99 iPhone App than carry a shite! Gameboy (yes that;s what it is) around like an idiot....
How much gadgets do fat people need to get them to walk to fitness...
It aint gonna work
You are either one of the beautiful people or one of the ugly ones.
AHAHAHH!!!!
www.joystiq.com it's for games.
www.engadget.com it's for gadgets.
Just like www.google.com is for porn!
I'm confused. I thought these games-things used technology?
+1 to Ethan
and it's isnt for those sentences without a comma.
GRAMMAR POLICE.
...is that Mr. Garrison?
Texas Ranger... I see what you did there!
It does bring up the question on why we've never seen any Chuck Norris games. Maybe because they would all break the consoles they were played on?
Lol nice I read your comment and was like "wtf are they talking about" and then I looked back at the picture...lmao ah that's great
Oh yea and for those who haven't done it, go to Google and type in "find chuck norris" but click "I'm feeling lucky"
Google won't search for Chuck Norris because it knows you don't find Chuck Norris, he finds you.
Chuck Norris doesn't walk, the ground moves under his feet.
Chuck Norris doesn't walk, the ground moves under his feet.
Unless you are severely overweight, injured or elderly you are not going to get fit from walking. Does this thing track your speed and pace if you run? If not it's a joke.
Seriously the whole fitness/video games combo is getting annoying and it's really pathetic. If you need a video game to get in shape there's something wrong with you
This is not a game, you get 2 pedometers with the bundle, you wear the pedometer and check your results & stats and if you're reaching your goal when you get home on your DS.
Well for one I applaud Nintendo
First of all parents during the 90's kept bitching about Video game turning kids into fat couch slobs. Now that they are helping kids keep fit while having fun. Now what would they bitch about?..ooooh yeah Porn and PedofriendLives..LOL
What? You use Walker, yet not Christopher Walken?
If he tries to give you your father's DS, I'd suggest not taking it.
Every night at 8:00, a truck pulls up to Chuck Norris house. In the truck are a bunch of orphans. For the next half-hour, Chuck Norris practices roundhouse kicks on the orphans while Its a Hard Knock Life plays in the background. At the end of the session, the orphans say Thank you, Mr. Norris in perfect unison, then march into the truck in silence.
Miis are fully formed now?
I'm waiting for personal trainer: wipe your ass
Anyone else notice how that stupid Dos Equis ad campaign is a blatant Mexicanized ripoff of Chuck Norris?
I worry about people with just the WII - even online personal training at sites like www.get-fit-at-home.com are safer as you are supervised and looked after via webcam and SKYPE.
