"Vitality sensor will be the next Wii Fit" - Reggie

By Spook. Friday, 10. July 2009, 14:40:18

For real, Reggie? You REALLY think this new vitality sensor, which soooo many have ditched (and with reason), will be as big as Wii Fit? Let's see if the guy is right.

If I told you that you would be standing on an oversized bathroom scale, and having fun doing it, you probably would have said, 'Reggie, I don't get it.' And yet here we are with the balance board arguably as the third largest development platform across the globe. All I can tell you is, with the game developers that we have, we will bring forth an experience that you will say, 'Wow, I get it'. Until you have that software, it's tough to understand. - Reggie Fils Aime

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of small, expensive peripherals that do nearly nothing and are only used in a handful of games (zapper, DS walk sensor, Wii wheel, any Wii Sports plastic add-on...). Do you agree with Reginald on this one? I don't.

"An oversized bathroom scale"... Hardly how you should refer to one of your top money-makers...

Well the Zapper DOES help with RE:UC, I got the RE style one, but still basic concept. And for some reason I do drive better with the wheel... I honestly dont know why, really.

IT'S REVOLUTIONARY!......don't u think nintendo flying off the handle a bit with all of these add ons? of course the general public will be all over this, especially the geriatric.. but come on now, seriously?!

Zapper helps with a couple of games... the wheel is fun, but also only 'works' with a handful of games... if you're gonna sell addons that cost nearly as much as the game itself or more, AT LEAST have the decency of making it available for use with a ton more games (and I do emphasize GOOD games, not just generic mini-games collections for the sake of quantity)

Been saying it for a while now...Nintendo has fallen well into their old habits. Dare I say this thimble-like peripheral will be the Wii's Power Glove?

As long as they don't release a cartoon based upon it... Captain Vitality! o_O

I'm thinking maybe a horror game where you hear your heart beat at all times and as you get more scared and your heart rate accelerates, the heartbeat gets faster and louder. freaky, huh?

evaunit6: Their Wii peripherals so far have been huge hits.
