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

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.

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.

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.

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.
