Tekuteku Angel Pocket Pedometer
13th November, 2006 by stuart
Hudson Soft has created a new pedometer game where the weight of onscreen characters fluctuates depending on the number of steps taken. As additional encouragement, Tekuteku Angel Pocket, displays messages of its screen such as “Nice walking!” if you’re doing well. Furthermore, the pedometer can be hooked up to your Nintendo DS using the DS Tekuteku Diary in order to keep track of walked steps along with calorie info and other health data. The pedometer and diary will go on sale on 21st December for 5,229 yen (£23/$44).

Is this coming to the United States? I think this is an awesome way to keep track of your walking calories!

No details at the moment I’m afraid. If it proves popular enough then it’ll hopefully make it over at some point.

Both the pink version and blue version cost $45.49/£23.47. […]
