While most console manufacturers want to see gamers spend more time on their can, Nintendo is going against the flow, releasing a new accessory that actually encourages users to get away from the screen.
The Pokewalker a pedometer that interacts with the games Pokemon HeartGold and Pokemon SoulSilver Nintendo DS gamers, wirelessly transfers Pokémon from characters from one of the two games and allows them to walk through virtual routes as the player walks around in real life. Gamers score points by wandering around, and can discover special Pokemon while out and about.
The Pokewaker is due to be released in March, so there’s still plenty of time to spend with the couch until then.
There are a few changes to this issue of Tone. We’ve said farewell to our fine cover girl in favour of some lads in white (it’s not a statement of preference, but the World Cup only comes around once every four years). In order to stimulate maximum creativity, our designer hasn’t slept since the last issue went to print, resulting in some crazy new fonts and unbelievably sleek breakout boxes possessing a level of sophistication not previously imagined. Like Saruman forging his army of fighting Uruk-Hai, we’ve dug new writers from the earth’s very gut, who now swarm across the world’s gadgets, crafting their infernal reviews. Though we’ve changed a little on the outside, we’re still the Tone you know and love on the inside. As always, we’re committed to providing the latest technology news and the best, unbiased, independent reviews of hot new products – and that’s never going to change. Enjoy.
