A subsidiary of Nintendo, this company owns a third of the copyright to Pokemon and primarily makes toys and card games. When it was known as Ape, Inc. it made cult role-player EarthBound and more recently Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia and keep fit game Walk With Me!

You can also post your data online and see how much exercise you're getting compared to other people from around the world. With plenty of hints and tips on whether you're getting enough or the right kind of exercise, this is the perfect way to play video games and still avoid becoming a coach potato!

Product Description
Walk With Me! continues Nintendo's tradition of offering products aimed at enhancing and improving fitness and lifestyle as well as being accessible to all the family. Walk With Me! does this with an added competitive twist. At its core Walk With Me! tracks your daily routine with the Activity Meter. Once you have been for a walk/run you wirelessly beam the data from the Activity Meter to your DS/DSi and Walk With Me! converts it into numbers of 'steps.' The software tracks exactly when you went for a walk that day and offers you tips and advice.
You are represented in Walk With Me! by your Mii character, which can be wirelessly downloaded from your Wii. This is the first time you have been able to use your Mii character in a DS game. If you do not have a Mii character then you can create one within the software.
Once you have downloaded your activity for the day you can set yourself targets according the amount of activity that you do. You can also give yourself as stamp at the end of day depicting whether you are happy or not with the amount of activity you have done for that day.
The major defining feature of Walk With Me! is that you can track up to four peoples activity on one cartridge. This enables you to compare your activity with family members, friends or even work colleagues to see who is fittest and who is the laziest.
Walk With Me! is also Wi-Fi compatible allowing you to upload your data to the global rankings to see how you fair on a world stage. There are also a variety of minigames available which use the data in fun and exciting ways.
- Monitor your daily walking routine
- Set your self goals

Fun:
I already had an Omron pedometer (Omron Walking Style II Pedometer), which is one of the best you can get but it only stores your walking history for a week and I liked the idea of having a record over a much longer period. So when I got Walk with Me I was able to compare the Nintendo pedometer with the Omron one. I didn't expect the Nintendo pedometer to be all that accurate, but actually both pedometers gave similar readings on a day when I went on a really big walk. Both the Omron and the Nintendo versions ignore the first ten seconds of walking to avoid counting coughing etc, but the Omron adds those first steps back into the count if you carry on walking, so it consistently awarded me more steps than the Walk with Me one, especially on days when I was at my desk a lot and there were many trips to make coffee etc... I quite like the fact that the Nintendo is a hard taskmaster - it makes you walk more.
So, here is my list of pros and cons, based mainly on the comparison with a more traditional pedometer:
Pros
Really small, light and neat - about half the size of my Omron Walking Style II - and no one will notice you wearing it under a sweater, eg.
Said to be waterproof (though I didn't try this).
Keeps records for months on end so you can really chart your progress.
Gives you a chart showing when you walked actively so you can see your rhythm.
Compares you with an animal, which is fun and inspiring.
Is pretty accurate and, if anything, underestimates your steps, making you walk more.
Cons
Doesn't count the calories (unlike the Omron Walking Style II) so you can't tell how many snacks you can freely eat!
Doesn't measure the distance covered (unlike the Omron Walking Style II), which would be a nice feature.
Doesn't have a safety line, unlike the Omron Walking Style II which does. In fact, sad to say, I lost my Nintendo pedometer just two months after purchase.

Fun:
I think that this is great idea. I am possibly the laziest person ever, but this game has made me go for walks every day for the last 5 days. Especially now that my husband has taken the second pedometer - I can't let him beat me! There may not be a lot more to the game, but that isn't the point of it. The point is to record your steps and encourage you to walk, and that is certainly what it has done for me.

Fun:
My mum convinced me to buy this (with her money of course) and I'm so very glad she did.
We've both benefited from wearing the pedometer and trying to get to are targets every day makes us very competitive!
It also makes me realise how much walking I do when I'm just at home, when before I thought I'd been doing 'nothing', I'd been doing a lot more than I thought I was!
I would definitely recommend this product for anyone who wants to increase their activity but in small ways in stead of large ones.
The mini games are also very addictive and I'm trying so hard to beat my mum at them!
We've both really enjoyed this product and have used it every day since we got it.
Fantastic buy!
