Nintendo will have to surprise me with this one. I can't think a practical application for it, but who knows.

Will be used when nuncuck wont be used at some part of the game of course.

With a possible adapter that's yet to be announced.

I hope Nintendo doesn't release it in America. Let it go the way of the Pocketstation.

If there ever was a gimmick, this is it.

stay tuned to my vitality sensor thread which will be updated once more details ae born.

I think there's far more to this device than we know. It's not a simple PulseOx sensor.

Without knowing exactly what the device does and what piece or collection of software Nintendo intends to bundle it with, it's really a shot in the dark (me guessing at it not the VS itself). I will say it probably won't appeal to me, but beyond that I'm not passing judgment yet.

The vitality sensor, like the motion plus, the balance board, and wii speak, is a gimmick, they'll have a few initial games that support it and then it'll have a slow death. Now that's not to say that it won't sell millions


, but since it's not standard accross the board like the Wiimote is, it won't go past the gimmick phase, and judging by how even Nintendo doesn't really support their peripherals as much as they should, then I don't see it being implimented into to many games.

I guess time will Tell but for now I'm going on record and saying that the Vitality sensor is just a gimmick.

Hopefully people have learned their lesson with the whole gimmick thing now that MS and Sony have owned all the Wii naysayers by basically conceding and saying "you were right," as they release their very own "gimmicks."

But as a graduate of history I know that history tends to repeat itself and I know there will still be a huge following of people who will mock, ignore, and downplay the potential of Vitality Sensor and call it a gimmick. Then if it does succeed Sony can make their own in 4 years and all the hardcore gamers will be praising it and the cycle goes on :)
