walk your 3DS for virtual currency

[blarghblarghhhhh]

The 3DS is going to include a built in pedometer. Thats old news but nintendo recently revealed that the system will be able to count your steps and give you virtual currency for an allotted amount of steps. Its not known what the coins will be redeemable for. I assume they will be for virtual console games or even better in my opinion they could possibly be used to "buy" merchandise from club nintendo.

Buying merchandise from Club Nintendo? I guess the Americans will get Wii Remote Holders and Super Mario Bookmarks again while the Japanese get the best stuff.

Skepticism aside, I'm happy that Nintendo is trying to prevent obesity in their own way, if even a little.

that part was speculation on my part. There are quite a few good things on there currently. I was tempted to redeem my points for an animal crossings game case but decided to wait for them to add 3ds stuff in the future.

Well, I can't imagine it being anything major without the steps being chump change, so I just decided that your idea would be the most likely, if it's not something purely digital like 3DS backgrounds or shovelware on DSiWare.

Hahaha, I like this. People who want bonuses have to work for it...it's good.

I walk alot at work so this has potential to be good for me. I clocked 18,000 steps on my pokewalker one day. I just hope it doesnt turn out to be crap like backgrounds like the other person suggested.

also always wanted to say awesome avatar.
