Uhhhhh... That's weird... I guess I'll have to see it if I'm going to believe this. Not sure what the benefit of this is rather than integrating it with the Wii U. I guess we'll see more at E3, but my initial impression is that this is a bad idea.


People don't want to pay $300 for a Wii U. Nintendo likely figured it would be better just to make this a seperate platform. If it's a $25 health product, tying it to a $200+ console kills its appeal. 


Sounds like it will be more than $25.  Seems like an attempt to reattract the Wii crowd, but then it prevents those people from later investing in more traditional franchises like Mario Bros and Animal Crossing.  I don't see any advantage in fragmenting their fanbase like that.  Obviously I don't know enough to really judge, but it's hard to see the benefit of fragmenting your audience like that.

I don't think this is one product, probably will be a line of products. Maybe even things like cook books and vitamins/health shakes from Nintendo.

True, it may be a whole slew of toy like products with health benefits like the Ultra Hand and other mechanical devices Nintendo produced in the 50's and 60's. But i guess we'll get more details in the near future.
