Apart from that, it might be used in some stupid minigames on WiiWare (maybe some Japan-only fortune telling / 'compatibility' stuff), and apart from *that* it will sink without trace.

Nintendo are great and all, I just got Sports Resort and it's good fun, but if you don't care what your pulse rate is, you're not even near the target market for this peripheral imo. I mean, maybe they will find some way to integrate it in the next Zelda or Mario but, yeah, actually - no they won't.]]>Aug 10th 2009 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/nintendos-iwata-says-vitality-sensor-is-coming-not-too-late-i/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/nintendos-iwata-says-vitality-sensor-is-coming-not-too-late-i/Aug 11th 2009 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/nintendos-iwata-says-vitality-sensor-is-coming-not-too-late-i/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/nintendos-iwata-says-vitality-sensor-is-coming-not-too-late-i/Aug 10th 2009 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/nintendos-iwata-says-vitality-sensor-is-coming-not-too-late-i/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/nintendos-iwata-says-vitality-sensor-is-coming-not-too-late-i/Aug 10th 2009 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/nintendos-iwata-says-vitality-sensor-is-coming-not-too-late-i/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/nintendos-iwata-says-vitality-sensor-is-coming-not-too-late-i/Aug 10th 2009 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/nintendos-iwata-says-vitality-sensor-is-coming-not-too-late-i/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/nintendos-iwata-says-vitality-sensor-is-coming-not-too-late-i/Aug 10th 2009 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/nintendos-iwata-says-vitality-sensor-is-coming-not-too-late-i/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/nintendos-iwata-says-vitality-sensor-is-coming-not-too-late-i/

Wii Fit was seen by everyone as a product that COULD be useful, but people thought no one would buy into it or care to use it.

The Wii Vitality Sensor is a product that almost no one can see as useful AND people also think no one will buy into it or care to use it.

Big difference. ]]>Aug 10th 2009 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/nintendos-iwata-says-vitality-sensor-is-coming-not-too-late-i/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/nintendos-iwata-says-vitality-sensor-is-coming-not-too-late-i/
