I wonder if Nintendo suddenly realized "Hey wait! What the **** do we use this for?!" and has quietly cancelled the vitality sensor. It was a really weird idea to begin with.

Exactly what I was thinking. Hopefully they broomed the thing and moved on. Surely they would have at least mentioned it if it was still happening. I'm all for moving forward and new ideas but that was just plain strange.

I think Nintendo has a big Fall show planned too since they still haven't fully revealed the 3DS, haven't revealed Pikmin 3(D?) & have yet to show whatever it is they have to show regarding the Vitality Sensor.

Guitar Smasher · « **Reply #159 on:** June 16, 2010, 12:08:12 AM »

There is also the possibility that Vitality Sensor was just a hardware announcement made to counter MS/Sony's expected hardware announcements at last year's E3. It was clearly still in the early conceptual stages, and maybe there hasn't been much pressure to get it out quickly.

BNM, how much development capabilities do you think Nintendo has at any given time? My impression is that they've revealed everything they plan to for this year, other than the final details on 3DS' release.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #160 on:** June 16, 2010, 12:20:40 AM »

Well, they haven't fully unveiled the 3DS yet, Miyamoto said he is still working on Pikmin 3 but didn't want to show it next to 3DS & Zelda(according to quote from stevey) and we know they are working on Vitality sensor. That is all I mentioned and they have quite a few teams that I still think haven't really shown what they're working on, so I'm not really sure what their development capabilities are, but they've haven't reached them yet.

SixthAngel · « **Reply #161 on:** June 16, 2010, 01:01:05 AM »

I predicted a while back that Nintendo ditched the vitality sensor.
It was one of their new ideas and after announcement and testing it probably got pretty bad feedback/their wasn't much demand for it.

This was never going to have games for it. It was going to be one piece of software with it and it would be sold to middle aged or older people with too much stress. Frankly I think they realized that, at least in the US, no one is probably going to get this.

Stratos · « **Reply #162 on:** June 16, 2010, 03:53:26 AM »

They decided to hold back the concept and make it a selling point for WiiTwoo-HiFi-SyFy. Same thing happened with the Gamecube's "mystery peripheral motion controller".

These two sentences are, like, complete and total opposites of one another. The phrase "non-sequitir" comes to mind.

Vitality Sensor is completed and ready to go.

Quote

IGN: To start us off, what happened to the Vitality Sensor?

Miyamoto: It's actually progressing quite well. We could have shown it here at E3 if we wanted to, but the environment here isn't really suited to that game. E3 is pretty exciting, and that's a device that's all about relaxation. So it just wasn't the best time or place to show that game. But it is ready, so we'll probably find another place that's more suitable to announce it. But I'm not directly involved in that project.

There is some other stuff, but that is as far as I've read so far

Ian Sane · « **Reply #165 on:** June 18, 2010, 12:16:47 PM »

From Miyamoto's quote I get the vibe that the Vitality Sensor is used in that Wii Relax game that we all **** over a while back and after the Wii Music backlash, Nintendo wisely assumes that that isn't something the E3 audience is interested in.

Ubisoft begs to differ.

They just happen to be next to each other. The US might be full of stress but I don't think people would be accepting of some kind of device like this.

Vitality Sensor Patents pop up.
http://www.siliconera.com/2010/10/07/nintendo-patent-shows-wii-vitality-sensor-game-example/

Shows that Nintendo is once again thinking very narrowly with the usage of this device.
No nunchuck support while using the Vitality sensor.
That will severely limit the types of games that could have been made using this device (not that they would have been made, but they could have).

I was hoping this thing was never going to be heard from again.

Why would anyone care if this gets released?

I mean that several ways, including "Who would buy it?" and "Why would you hope it never comes out?"

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #172 on:** October 12, 2010, 08:21:45 AM »

Obviously, it makes no difference to me whether it gets released or not. But all the time and cash that has gone into this completely unnecessary device that no one asked for could have been put into something a lot more worthwhile.

Like localizing a few Wii games we've been pining for these last few years.
