Nintendo Game To Help Smokers Quit

The Courier Mail reports:

"SMOKERS are about to get help kicking the tobacco habit: an interactive computer game that aims to "coach" cigarette users away from their addiction.

Based on the successful "Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking" method which has reportedly helped more than 10 million smokers to stub out their cigarettes once and for all, the game, designed for Nintendo DS, will be developed by the Quebec bureau of California-headquartered Ubisoft.

It is expected to go on sale in November."

It seems that Nintendo is more focused on peoples health than gaming.

Surfman6576d ago

Lol yeah, focused on everything but games haha

Closing6576d ago

Greenpeace says otherwise.

Presentist6576d ago

You chew on the Wiimote while punching yourself with the analog attachment.

JVIDICAN6576d ago

focus on actual games nintendo, theres millions of products to help quit smoking. why does it need a "game" too?
whats next? a heroin game where you stab yourself with the wimote?

'a heroin game where you stab yourself with the wimote?'

Lol that made me laugh have a bubble.

Still surly playing games themselve will help smokers to quit, since its providing a distraction?

Also its really Ubisoft, not nintendo helping smokers to quit.

Bigrhyno6576d ago

Wii are junkies. Hopefully they add Mii support.

gaminoz6576d ago

@ Resistance: good point...it is Ubisoft using the Nintendo hardware that's helping smokers quit. I guess it is just what devs see the Nintendo hardware being used for that is interesting. Less and less traditional gaming and more and more helping fitness, brains, and sullied lungs.

gaminoz6576d ago

Wow: have fun while kicking the habit! I wonder if it would work...and if it is actually fun for more than one session...Still it's an interesting direction Nintendo is taking with its gaming.

Soon the damn thing will cure cancer.

Closing6576d ago

Yeah, but will it have sex with you?

This is what gamers are waiting for.

ps3FTW6576d ago

Closing6576d ago (Edited 6576d ago )

The game will come bundled with wiiLIPS in 5 different colors of your choice.

RonDeMuerte6576d ago

I hear it's gonna be called WiiPatch.....the whole game is you just try to tape the remote to your arm and you just sit there and wait until you don't get a craving for a cigarrette.......VERY ENTERTAINING....

I enjoyed both Rush games, I did think the action was sometimes too fast to see what was coming up in terms of hazards though, which meant replaying the same stage a bunch of times, other than that they were enjoyable, good special stages, 3D sections and bosses for the most part.

Cacabunga63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

DS is one of the best consoles of all time. Such a rich library of software
Zelda were all glorious on it.
