Stop Smoking Coach

If you’re among those who make New Year’s resolutions (such as: play more Nintendo DS), there are a variety of Nintendo “game” cartridges that can help you reach specific goals.

For example, there’s My Stop Smoking Coach with Allen Carr, which was released in mid-November. You create a “coach” for yourself and then get advice and play “fun minigames,” apparently about nicotine addiction. There’s a reward system as well—all part of a system by a fellow named Allen Carr. Reviews have been mixed.

If you’re planning to lose weight in 2009, there’s My Weight Loss Coach, which comes with a pedometer and the ability to track exercise while keeping general track of your food intact. But you might want to hold out a few months for Personal Trainer: Walking, which is expected to include two pedometers, and you get to make a “Mii” of yourself as well as share data online and compete in fitness goals.

Of course, if you’ve resolved to do more home cooking in 2009, you probably already know about Personal Trainer: Cooking.

With the help of the Nintendo DS, you can learn a language, brush up on your math skills and develop other knowledge. Here’s to a great 2009!
