Another DS Oddity

[Macawmoses]

This is from Hookedgamers, I don't know how credible it is, but:

"For some reason, Ubisoft has decided that it wants you to quit smoking. I don't know what gave them this idea. I mean, there are so many benefits to smoking. It makes you look cool, smell amazing, and it even makes people respect you. And who can forget cancer, I mean, come on people! Ubisoft announced at Ubidays that they'll be teaming up with anti-smoking Guru Allen Carr to bring Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking to the Nintendo DS in November of this year.

Ubisoft stated, "Players will be actively participating in the game's content as they input the details of their smoking habits and even select their own Allen Carr's Easyway coach to take them through the process of quitting."

Sure it might help, but will it be fun?? Only time will tell."


I can't see it working, or being fun, but what do you think of this?

I think Ubisoft needs to start taking Nintendo platforms seriously.

[Java]

WTF?

I really wonder how that will work...

[Unknown0]

How about just spreading the word?  I don't think creating a videogame would help at all.

Videogame=lame.
The funding going to 55 packs of smoke-away gum=WAY better.

[Shujinco2]

Um...WTF? 0_o

That sounds like it's not going to be very fun, and only moderatly effective. Little bit more effective that not at all, but not a definate success either.

I was just about to say the same thing.

[Macawmoses]

It smells of lack of market research.

This...can't be real....it just can't be.
I mean, how profitable could this possibly be?
You might as well make a game about clipping toenails...

Don't give them ideas, really.

Knowing Micael Ancel he'd do it too @_@

[Tupin]

I don't think this would work anyway, it's just like going cold turkey.

Just make it for the Wii, because then we could point the clipper and press A to clip!

Just like in WarioWare: Smooth Moves!

Hm. That's very strange. I mean I think that people have more willpower than they give credit for. If someone truly believes it will work for them, then it probably will.. But, without that determination, I don't see it working
