Vitality sensor was kind of stupid.

Come on guys. I don't care what "team" you are on. The vitality sensor was kind of stupid. Next time they announce a perhipheral, they need to at least demo something with it or announce a game for it...

I agree. Seemed like just another thing to appeal to the soccer-mom and senior citizen crowds.

Although, I'd be interested to see if it has any use for gaming.

Something tells me this will be the last time we see it. N prototypes stuff all the time and never uses it. The reason I say this, is because they had no software for it. Heck, if there's no software, why even show it?

I would like to see that being used in some horror games that has a leader board showing how scared and stressed out users are.

Well, it didn't really take up that much time at their press conference, but it did take space.

It just seems weird how it was presented with nothing to back it up. It looked more like something you'd get free with a casual DS game.

If they go forward with it, they definitly have some ideas for it. What they could be is beyond me.

Maybe it's the smaller part of a larger concept, and they are marking their territory by presenting it?

I dunno, it's beyond me. Quite the odd ball. But again, it wasn't like it was all guns blazing with the product, and was only shown for like 5 minutes.

It could be its just something to show investors along the lines of health, (since Wii fit was a huge financial succes), that Nintendo is still focused on remaining the leader.

Who knows?

But it is something that the PS3 motion or Natal cannot detect. But big deal.

all 3 of these sensor things are lame call me ol school but yeah thats what i think but i know it neccesry for the future its just one step closer to virtual reality into games

these things we are seeing now is just the 1st generation of sensor devices

While I do think it is uninteresting, I think it was showed early to let developers plan for it ahead of time.

i think you nailed it.

It revelation may be intended to bring discussion and attract interest, something that Nintendo wanted the gaming press and gamers to do. Whatever we currently think of it, we are bringing awareness of it. It is just like the Wii Remote when it was revealed in 2005.

the vitaly sensor was the same as natal and the sony waggle wand..

just some tech with no software attached to it.. ergo boring

Yeah, but again, it wasnt like N was going on and on about the sensor. It was just a brief intro of about 5 minutes.

Still, it looks like something you would see at a doctors office
