I am a big Nintendo fan and I have been on gaming forums for a long time... Still, I can not believe you guys are rationalizing a heart rate monitor.

What's the diffrence they work for the same company unless he's lieing

I was expecting that kind of response to be honest. With what you said, I'll give you this: Why not always think about doing more?

Maybe I always like to do surprises to the people around me and I always want the best to happen to anyone, even companies like Nintendo... but I guess in game development it doesn't work so easily. It's probably not easy to do with all the hardware limitations and stuff! xD

@Soriku - Incorrect. Zelda Wii isn't guaranteed at next E3 at all. Since it isn't coming out this year, I expect it'll be announced this fall and released in the late spring. =p

Then Super Mario Galaxy 2 in the summer or early fall, with Metroid: Other M in mid/late fall.

@Rol

Agree on that. Would be another story if the game was built primarly as a multiplayer game, but then again, the old way of multiplaying suits this game bests IMO.

If you don't like it, don't buy it.  Simple as that.

But it doesn't have to be different? If someone wants to join your game (if you run out of real life friends during the night, hehe), well, they just hop in and you continue the singleplayer-now-mutiplayer mode. Also, I do believe they put the emphasis on the game being a multiplayer experience. Why showcase it then and call it "the 4D experience?"

It would be "an extra," nothing more. A good one, even if it's not necessary.

I think that is way too early for Zelda Wii.

Yeah, you have a point there. But at the same time, that still means absolutely nothing.

That's not a good answer... This a forum for discussion.  I want to know why someone at Nintendo thinks this would sell.  I am pushing to know exactly WHY I should want to buy it. 

I don't want a rationalization or a "It would be cool if", why would it be cool if... the VS was used in an Eternal Darkness type game?  What makes you think that my heart rate while playing a game is significantly effected in a way that couldn't already be predicted by common reactions or my skill.... if the VS was used to see how many enemies to put on screen? Why is this better than measuring my skill?  Why is it better to continually up the challenge (without consent) when a lot of enjoyment comes from getting better at a game and mastering what others cannot or what the developer thought would be a good challenge?

These aren't attacks, these a genuine questions... Why is this going to make gaming better?  Neither Nintendo or anyone in here has explained to me what makes this something I should spend $20 (a guess)?

It is perfectly reasonable to be opposed to a company releasing a product for various reasons.  I love Nintendo.  I am willing to bet that a lot of people who bought Wii Music came away from that experience feeling like they did not got their money's worth and would trust the Nintendo brand as I, and many of you, have come to trust them (These are casual/new gamers and they don't read reviews - which don't really align with casual interest anyway.)

Releasing stuff like this is bad for business in the long run.

Marginal sequels and cheap novelty (as opposed to intriguing and exciting novelty, i.e. innovation) are going to kill off the interest the general public has found in Nintendo.

The reason why Nintendo succeed was because they did things no one ever saw before.  That is ultimately why Wii Music hasn't had the staying power like Wii Fit, Wii Sports, and many other casual titles. 

Almost everyone has seen a heart rate monitor.
