My Health Coach: Weight Management

Ubisoft's sent a timely reminder today that My Health Coach: Manage your Weight is available Down Under, and the publisher says it's time to look at alternative ways to make a difference with your health, especially given today's news that Australia is now leading the world in obesity.

UK TV star Angela Griffin has signed on to promote Ubisoft's My Health Coach: Manage Your Weight in a three-month publicity campaign. Griffin has appeared in a multitude of TV dramas including Waterloo Road, Cutting it, Holby City and Coronation Street and will be available for interviews in support of the title.

Via Pocket Gamer: ...today comes news from Ubisoft that it will be releasing its first health game - My Health Coach: Weight Management - on DS in June. The game was announced earlier this year and will come complete with a pedometer DS peripheral, which counts the number of steps (or lack thereof) that you take in a day. It will also personalise you a health plan, includes quizzes designed to teach you how to live a healthier lifestyle, and formulates a 10-15 minute daily coaching session for you.

Only a week and a half after box swap questioned Ubisoft's My Weight Loss Coach boxart -- as box swap made a habit of doing with the publisher's boxes -- the placeholder art posted on Amazon has been replaced with a much more predictable and bland cover.

Ubisoft, announced that it will publish My Health Coach: Weight Management for the Nintendo DS system, in summer 2008. Developed in Ubisoft's Montreal studio, under the guidance of both a fitness coach and a nutritionist, My Health Coach: Weight Management is a new and innovative way to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle and loose weight. For the first time on Nintendo DS, My Health Coach: Weight Management includes an exclusive accessory: a pedometer which counts the steps you walk each day.
