miCoach Will Actually Be Released This Year

Out with THQ, in with 505 Games

Written by Dog of Thunder on 01 May 12 at 13:31

Despite the project being canceled and lawsuits flying everywhere, miCoach will be getting a worldwide release this Summer. THQ Games, facing their own financial issues, had backed out of their publishing deal with adidas, the shoe manufacturer that also develops training programs for athletes. adidas has found a new publisher, 505 Games, willing to pick up where THQ left off and ensure that the world will not be deprived of miCoach.

miCoach will allow users to develop their own fitness plan with over 400 exercises. Users can train alongside 18 of their favorite athletes that just happen to be under contract to adidas, such as Kaka, Dwight Howard and Jessica Ennis.

Thanks in part to the new publisher providing hope for the release of miCoach, enjoy some new screenshots released by adidas!

Using real athletes instead of pixelated avatars... could make it more realistic and engaging having a real life person to coach you. May also make it repetitive.
Chunkeh Munkeh - I've done 300ish words on Team Crossword but the achievement still won't unlock for 100 words solved, anyone know why

That's pretty cool that they're using real atheletes. I think they are relasing way too many fitness games for 360 at the moment though. Slow it down a bit and come out with some titles that are fun to play and include somewhat of a workout. Gunstringer and Kinect Adventures/Sports are great examples.
Jump right out of a creek!

I hope THQ goes bankrupt. But anyone who knows me at all already knew that. If a company wants to deny the existence of a broken achievement (lie) and never fix it, I'll never buy another game from them again. I told them that and they don't care. Down with THQ and EA!

About damn time we get a fitness/exercise game! That's the only reason I haven't bought a Kinect, video game publishers refusal to release one on the 360.

I'm all for this type of game but they are flooding the market! Would be nice if these companies tried to get creative with new ideas.

Down with THQ and EA!Haha, funny. THQ posted their projected yearly earnings and turned a profit in the wake of their management reorganizing the companies structure. Also every 10 cents their stock goes up I make $110, so yeah, go THQ!

MostWanted475 is possibly the dumbest person on this site. thq makes amazing games. And it would be a sad day if they went under. Also if ea goes down, the entire video game industry would be right behind them.

Plus, how evil do you have to be to hope a company goes under. That is a lot of people being put into some dark times with no income in this tough economy. Pretty harsh punishment for having some games some people didn't love.

thq only falsified their earnings so they don't get dropped or sued by more ppl. componies that are in trouble generally cook the books right before the plunnet. noticed that at all in the u.s. economy the last 5 years? everyone loses their jobs yet the companies they lost them from all make huge bank at others expense. thq has had several broken games for the last few years. darksiders was the last one i remember not being fucked up and it was great. but they didn't expect that did they. so now they almost seem to be banking on that game to save their whole year. they've stated it will have lots of dlc also. anything to earn that extra buck from a single player only game. well look at that sr3 dlc. season pass right? season ripoff maybe. i would just like them to be honest and accountable for their lies. if u read the forum threads for ufc trainer and the biggest loser over at 360a.org u will see they have broken gameplay for both and even put out contradicting remarks regarding said broken games. the right doesn't know their is a left. hmmmm,,,,,,i honestly don't believe anything they say right now. sorry for the bitchy rant guys and gals. cheers!

How rude do you have to be to make a comment like that? EA was voted the worst company of 2011 for many reasons including broken achievements, and THQ generally makes crap games. Just because the economy is rough doesn't mean undeserved people should have jobs!

In return, I could care less about them.

Down with THQ and EA!I bet they hope that you become unemployed and bankrupt since you have only 67% completion percentage and are wishing that on all those people for 1 achievement. If EA and THQ go bankrupt, you won't be gaming for long because the whole industry would be in trouble at that point.

(I was expecting to see 99% completion percentage after reading his comment)
