Following the announcement of an autumn/winter release schedule from Nintendo last week, THQ have revealed new details on the forthcoming The Biggest Loser, featured on the list for release on November 13^th 2009. The game will arrive on Wii and Nintendo DS simultaneously, The Biggest Loser videogame is an engaging way for players to get in shape and maintain their ideal fitness.

            Set at The Biggest Loser ranch, players can take The Biggest Loser challenge and compete in four, eight or twelve week programs against former contestants from the television show, or workout with a friend to form a support system to see who really is The Biggest Loser. Players will work-out to a series of structured routines with special weekly challenges, weigh-ins and eliminations, or they can even create their own workouts. Workouts include upper, lower and core body exercises, as well as cardio and yoga exercises. Progress is documented on a calendar that keeps track of in-game achievements, upcoming training and weigh-in dates. Players can also receive credit for any progress made while not playing the videogame, such as going for a walk or a bike ride.

The videogame also features fifty healthy recipes from the BiggestLoserClub.com and The New York Times best-selling book series The Biggest Loser to help users learn how to eat right for optimal weight loss. Throughout the Wii workout program, suggestions and tips from contestants and trainers will also help guide players as they transform their lives via diet and exercise. The videogame also features an interactive calorie counter that tracks what players are eating and recommends their daily intake based on individual goals.

When paired together, the Wii and Nintendo DS games become powerful training partners with the Nintendo DS serving as a portable tool that can be used to count calories, as well as serve up healthy recipe suggestions on the go. Players can take their 'trainer' with them for food, exercise and diet tips that encourage them to stick to their fitness goals no matter where they are.

The Biggest Loser is set to launch with a Recommended Retail Price (RRP) of £19.99 on both Wii and Nintendo DS this November, with the Nintendo DS release being compatible with the Nintendo DSi camera for some nifty body-morphing effects as you chart your progress. Electronic Theatre will keep you updated with all the latest from THQ.
