Nintendo could be about to reveal its plans for the bizarre Wii Vitality Sensor, after announcing a press event with the American Heart Association.

The invite for the May 17 event doesn't offer any indication as to what its announcement might be, but the Vitality Sensor - which measure the pulse of Wii players - seems very likely.

Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata said at last year's E3 that he reckons the device has heaps of potential, with the possibility one day for it to help you sleep with special software.

"Everyone under pressure in our stressful society could use this to help us relax in a videogame. Videogames could be made for people to unwind or even fall asleep," he said.

Nintendo's previously said it will release the Vitality Sensor in 2010.

Great, probably E3 anouncements could be better without the Vitality sensor taking some time from the conference.

interesting, cant wait to hear what they have to say

maybe we can relax after the announcment lol excuse the pun, Wii relax to be unveiled.

Man, this game will be huge!

Don't mess with my emotions lol

Doesn't time fly :O

Vitality Sensor!

As you can tell I have been waiting to hear more about the V.S since its announcment back at last years E.3 and am excited! Nintendo is ready to own "Move" and "Natal" for the best new device with the big V.S!

Fabulous! So from now on Wii will get less kiddy games and more geezer ones!!!

Wait, us Nintendo sackfans are caring about the Vitality Sensor? I didn't get that memo.
