I hope it ends up coming to fruition, could help them regain some of that Wii Fit & Brain Age audience, I remember Iwata saying they planned to target education as well as health/fitness.

Plus anything that can make health, fitness & education fun is a plus in my opinion.

Kinda disappointing, was curious how they would expand their market beyond traditional video games. Would rather something good then a product they didn't have confidence in though.

Was an interesting concept but it's been very vague so it didn't catch my interest.. :/

I have been wanting some new and improved health products from Nintendo.

That's interesting. I like the fact that they're holding it back instead of just releasing as is.

I can see this going the way of the Wii Vitality Sensor and just quietly getting mothballed.

I think its still going to get release.d

Kind of a shame I guess I actually wanted the Sleep Sensor because I have really wonky sleep patterns.

They should have just made a separate brand and released things like that and fitness products ... there's always people buying fitness gimmicks.

Just another I'd add ... maybe Kimishima might be more of a "no bullshit" type of boss?

Nintendo's gotten themselves into trouble by indulging sometimes too much into the creative fancies of their designers rather than just focusing on making the most marketable products or gotten side tracked by things like "well Mr. Miyamoto doesn't like CD loading times so I guess we're using cartridges".

There needs to be someone at NCL who just says enough with that type of nonsense. I know for sentimental reasons with Mr. Iwata's tragic passing that they probably wanted to see this product through, but at the same time if you don't think it's going to have relevance to the market ... maybe it shows Kimishima is more "ruthless" brand of boss .... which is good for Nintendo.

Wasn't he also pessimistic about the Wii U idea and didn't think Wii U would sell just because the Wii did? At this time I think they need more of a cold, analytical boss to lead the company. If Kimishima is responsible for putting QoL on ice, it may tell us something about how he runs the show.

Nintendo should have had the QoL stuff ready to go at the end of the Wii/beginning of the WiiU era. With all the acclaim the original Wii had in the fields of medicine and health, they could have continued the trend. At that point people still thought about the Wii, even if the motion controlls had lost its spark.
