"Fans upset about the Vitality Sensor's absence"

Who would that be, honestly?

"Fan upset about the Vitality Sensor's absence"

the plurality was obviously a mistake =P

@Fata1Stryke I really think he was being sarcastic.

@Fata1Stryke

Why would a fan be upset anyway? It's just an inanimate object. It's not like it has feelings. It just moves air around.

Any word on why Dunaway was absent from the E3 event?

"[Cammie Dunaway] is noisy and adrenaline-filled, and loud and stressful, and it just didn't seem like the best environment to introduce her when it's really about relaxing."

I think they learned from last year that E3 is not the place to do a lot of casual bullshit.

Ugh, casuals! Only one type of people is ever allowed to enjoy video games, and thats the hardcore!

@aughscreennames Hardcore gamers aren't the only ones to appreciate games, but the fact is HC gamers are the only ones who watch E3 coverage. Your mom may love Wii Sports, but I bet she doesn't know what E3 is, let alone when it happened and what was featured there.

What can possibly be more hardcore than sticking your finger into something?

Thats the point, E3 is for a specific audience. Casual gamers dont know what E3 is and they could care less about any sort of game coverage.

@chromekreeper Unfortunately, without the Vitality Sensor, there is no way to know exactly how crazy they are going!

However, investors watch E3 and if all a company talks about is stuff they feel won't sell, they will be less happy with the company they invest in.

Nintendo hit a good balance last E3, imo. Announced stuff that makes hardcore gamers happy, but is also widely accessible, stuff that falls in line with the 'New Super Mario Bros' train of thought and stuff that will be choice buys in the near future.

They need a slogan for it. Maybe something like "Wii Vitality: You can stick your finger in it!"

Shows that they really were on the ball this year, knowing how to optimize their show time

Hopefully Vitality Sensor lands this fall, though. The perfect thing to snow Kinect and Move under.

I don't remember if it was Miyamoto that said that there was going to be a hardware for the N64 that was going to be released with a tetris game, you would put a sensor in your ear i believe, and if you get nervous, the pieces would fall down faster than when you were relaxed...

Don;t know if that's where they are aiming at...

sad part is there is actually a lot that can be done w/ it. think of Eternal Darkness 2 *hint hint nintendo!!!* where the game reacts to how calm vs. nervous you are, if you start to go into a more peaceful state it starts throwing even more creepy stuff at you. Or a FPS where if you are an agitated state your gun starts to shake and you have to try to calm down to get a better aim.

Or, you know... Wii Meditate, where your meditation instructor gets upset if your heart rate increases. Huge seller, that one...
