So, what is Nintendo: Active Health? Not a clue. We've contacted Nintendo for clarification and will update if it responds.

Sounds like Nintendo is starting to get in the hmo business.

Looks like the new Zelda game really is going to show where Nintendo has its priorities at.

With Nintendo's new health kick chubby little Mario must be feeling pretty self conscious working for them, especially with those skinny N+ Ninjas constantly teasing him about his weight.
Mr Khan @ Jan 12th 2009 7:13PM
but Captain Falcon is thrilled
MajorHoorah @ Jan 12th 2009 6:55PM
wow thats a boring logo
PSN: Aggie_CEO @ Jan 12th 2009 7:03PM
Maybe they will make some tpye of heart monitoring device that is like a watch......takes your pulse rate, breath rate and BP and sends it to your Wii and an online database....

Almost a year back in an intreview in Greece a worker in Nortec Greece had revealed plans for Wii-music and Wii Health Pack.
Interview here http://news.contra.gr/Technology/Hellas/149198.html
Wii Health Pack was supposed to be something like Wii Fit but could take more measurements and via a Wii Channel could sent the information to a Hospital wich would give a Health evaluation. I don't know if it's that, but it could be a new feature of Wii-Fit that worked exactly as i described before(and why not include a new accessory to measure blood pressure etc).

Health Pack= Wii Fit
"Miyamoto-san originally wanted Wii to launch with different sets of software packages, and these included Sports Pack, Party Pack and Health Pack. Sports Pack became Wii Sports, Party Pack became Wii Play and Health Pack became Wii Fit."

We have to remember that most of the research and concepts behind new games or products are most of the time patented and brands are registered, it doesnt mean that its going to come out to the market nor that we will see it in the near future.
dimos222 @ Jan 12th 2009 8:03PM
Yeah but that doesn't mean it can't be a new feature for the Wii Fit that will be basically a health monitoring service.
Maybe it was an early plan for Fit that they decided to implement later.
Anyway that's still a guess, and actually the first thing that popped into my head.
It could be a million things.
Sam @ Jan 12th 2009 7:16PM
yep, nintendo is going back to their roots, next they're gonna announce that they're re-opening their sex hotels but this time you get to rent a wii along with the room! better get your extendible grabbers out, that's the only way your gonna get to this deal on time! Oh, and don't forget to pack your TV DINNERS!
...Nintendo, your are one F**ked up company...
tmmoore_nc @ Jan 12th 2009 7:17PM
So...they can trademark "Active Health" but not "Duck Hunt"?
Moptimus Slime (Leader of the Ryan Scott Defense Force, Fatass come back.You can blaim it all on me. Awurr? Maburr) @ Jan 12th 2009 7:21PM
or "Wii Remote"?
Little Big PSN ID: johnnynumber5 @ Jan 12th 2009 7:18PM
Maybe they finally decided to put those useless Wii Fit accessories under one umbrella. You know the ones ... the spray bottle with fan, wristbands, headband & notepad.
PsyKodeLicReLic @ Jan 12th 2009 7:30PM
just give us a new zelda or duck hunt please.
Sam @ Jan 12th 2009 9:34PM
yes, give us the same thing over and over and over and over, don't try to innovate at all, just the same thing.
wow, i'm so glad I hopped off the Nintendo bandwagon, your fanboys are idiots.
WRE @ Jan 12th 2009 10:20PM
Sam,
"yes, give us the same thing over and over and over and over, don't try to innovate at all, just the same thing.
wow, i'm so glad I hopped off the Sony bandwagon, your fanboys are idiots."
Fixed that for you, sport.
StarFoxA @ Jan 12th 2009 8:49PM
What happened? The same company that brought us Super Metroid and Ocarina of Time are reduced to this. I'm honestly speechless.
WRE @ Jan 12th 2009 10:21PM
Yeah! Fuck Nintendo for trying to expand the market!
StarFoxA @ Jan 13th 2009 10:17AM
Hey, I'm cool with new things, but when it's something like lame shovelware games being the focus of a company known for innovative and exciting titles, it's not the kind of "new thing" I'm interested in.

We issued a report looking at the development of this sector a few months ago: http://www.changeist.com/changeism/2008/11/10/the-growth-of-fitness-ecosystems.html
