505 ANNOUNCES NEW FEEL GOOD GAMING RANGE
Milton Keynes, 16th March 2009 – 505 Games has today taken fresh steps to widen its ever-growing portfolio by announcing the all-new Mind, Body & Soul range exclusively for Nintendo Wii and DS. The initial launch titles establish a new brand of gaming, enabling users to improve their everyday lives while having fun along the way.

Nutrition Matters for Nintendo Wii and DS offers users the ability to track their net calorific gains and losses through exercise and dieting. A simple and accessible tracking mechanism monitors both calorific burn through daily activity and food intake through an extensive nutrition database. This allows users to set their own targets over any period of time, with regular data updates to monitor progress. The nutrition reference guide can be used as a calorie fore-planner for events such as dinner parties, birthdays or even just Sunday lunch by providing calorie data, protein and fat contents for hundreds of foods. With the Wii version supporting Nintendo’s balance board as a set of digital scales, Nutrition Matters enables users to set goals and monitor one’s progress towards the perfect beach body.


More Wi-Fi aspects of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars are now available, thanks to the latest Nintendo Power. Rockstar will be hosting competitions for prizes through the Rockstar Social Club. Players can access competitions via an in-game PC. Some competitions will focus around game-completion percentages while others will be based on how well missions have been completed.

Aside from competitions, Chinatown Wars will also allow players who have registered each others Friend Codes to exchange messages with each other in real time. Furthermore, it has been reconfirmed that friends can trade items and favorite locations that have been marked on the GPS.
