So I wasn't the only one to think like that first. That makes me feel only slightly better than 'complete shame.'

Not to burst Ubisoft's bubble, but doesn't that pedometer look *huge* when compared to just about any other pedometer you've seen? Any pedometer I've seen that I can think of, even the $10 WalMart ones, are very small and discrete.

This one is, well, not...

And how many of those pedometers connect to a DS?

It's not just pedometer parts in there.

@Zertoss:

You win this round :-).

Also, as is the case with most things, it's probably a lot smaller than it looks once held in person. Sorry I kinda jumped the gun back there.

It is somewhat commendable that someone would try to couple weight loss techniques (exercise) and gaming, but surely there are more effective methods. I somehow fail to see the efficacy in using "My Weight Loss Coach" as a serious way to lose weight.

You can agree or disagree about the Wiimote being a gimmick but you can't deny that the wii has given rise to the number of gimmick/psuedo-science oriented titles.

Dude, it's an article about a DS app. And besides, ss I recall these training games started on the DS before the Wii was even out. But regardless, who the fuck cares? Does it keep you up at night? Do you rag on the PC platform because someone made a USB powered beer fridge?

As always, you're a complete fucking idiot.

It's pretty bad when for a split second you think "pedometer" measures your level of pedophilia... I gotta get some sleep.

So you're saying Nintendo are aiming this at the fat and stupid?

I would make a stereotypical remark about Americans, but it would be far too easy and it would leave me feeling cheap and dirty.

I had a pedometer for GBC, the Pocket Pikachu. It was much smaller, and better

I can't wait for the day that I see someone walking down the road playing this, being completely oblivious to the car that is quickly approaching. Hopefully, I won't be ordering a Twisty Cone when that time comes.

If you really want to lose weight while gaming, just play DDR. 'nuff said.

Is it just me or is this a very disturbingly named peripheral? pedo... meter, ugh :(

Does it give the player a rating based on how sexy they find young children?

It's called a pedometer because it's... a pedometer:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedometer

"Ped-" from the Latin, meaning "foot"

"Pedo-" as in "Pedophilia" comes from the Greek word for "boy." One word's prefix derives from Latin, the other Greek. This has been your language lesson for today.

Yeah, I knew that, your explanation is less amusing though.

Not that there is anything funny about pedophilia, however there is amusement to be found in intentionally misinterpreting product names.

This has been your (poor taste) comedy lesson for today.

If I spoke latin and love walking, does that make me a pedophile?

Don't quote me on this, but I think the "-phile" suffix is Greek. So, no.

When I first read this I wanted to comment on Pocket Pikachu should make a come-back. I'm glad someone was like-minded.
