Digital Meld

Yes you ready that title correctly, a video game that simply wants you to walk and record your steps to unlock mini games and trivia.

Walk With Me encourages gamers (I use that term loosely here), to get off the couch and get to walking. Electronic pedometers will measure the amount of players steps and you will earn Walk With Me Points to aquire other things in the game. You simply pocket your pedometer and at the end of your day upload the data back into your DS and it registers how active you were, with of course graphs and big headed avatars

All you need to do is clip one of the Activity Meters onto your belt, put it in your pocket or even attach it to your dog’s collar and you’re away! The Activity Meter will then keep track of every step you make during the day and transmit the information to your Nintendo DS, which is where the fun starts! Using the Touch Screen and your DS Stylus, you can use the results in all sorts of ways and even make notes for your own records

Really, is that where the fun starts? Thanks Nintendo. I could have sworn the fun started when I stuck needles in my eyes instead of looking at those screen shots I snipped.

Unlike a regular pedometer, one of the great things about the Activity Meter is that it allows your family, friends and even pets to join in. Up to four different people can use their own Activity Meter in conjunction with a single Game Card, allowing everyone’s results to be compared and promoting a bit of healthy competition. For the first time on Nintendo DS, Walk with me! users can use Miis to represent themselves. These can be transferred from the Mii Channel on your Wii or created in-game – there are even Mii-style dogs for your canine chums!

Ok, its time to end this ridiculous post. Walk With Me will be available for your walking pleasure come February 20th, enjoy. I for one, will still be on my couch waiting for the debauchery that is This is Vegas.
