Tekuteku Angel for the walking weight loss management with your DS

(tags exercise, measure, game, DualScreen, Japanese)

That companion at the Nintendo World 2006 Hudson booth shooed me away from the Sudoku and stuffed my hand with a flyer for the 2006/12/21 game package Tekuteku Angel Pocket with DS Tekuteku Diary (育成散歩計 てくてくエンジェルPocket with DSテクテク日記). This is a pedometer with some diet management software on the DS. I was hoping that the pedometer would contact the DS using wireless, but alas you transfer data by inputting the password shown on the device. The official homepage has some interesting developer blog info with lots of pictures.

I had fun with the Pokemon Pikachu Pedometer a couple of years ago. I also do a lot of walking (no more than the average Japanese commuter, though) so maybe this will be for the statistician in me.
