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
My Weight Loss Coach is rated E for Everyone by
the ERSB and will be available this summer.
The "My Coach” brand, part of Ubisoft’s Games for
Everyone division, is made up of a series of games that encourages players to
improve themselves while being entertained at the same time. Other titles in the
brand include: My Word Coach for a stronger vocabulary, and My Spanish Coach and
