According to Johnny Lee, Nintendo has stayed silent on the subject matter which he thinks is best for them to stay quiet. I think he was just stating that Nintendo could see this implementation as not proper for the Wii. (now what they had in mind) Nintendo generally doesn't like latch on to other's tech/ideas. Now I would be shocked if they prevented a company from implementing it.
However I think Nintendo impemented the idea with their own patent. I don't it will make the light of day but it pretty much be cable of doing the same thing as the VR head tracking.

One thing that might prevent Nintendo from going behind it is they like to boost their own products like Wii Fit. Both of those devices can be implemented very similiar (like skateboarding/snowboarding/surfing and even an FPS on the balance board could change perspective.)
Oh yeah according to Lee Sony/Microsoft are interested. So I'm not saying that Nintendo isn't interested just that they have stayed tight liped and it may stay that way.
I'm curious to see with the advent of homebrew on the wii if the VR headtracking could be seen ealier.
