At E3 in 2009 Nintendo announced their Vitality Sensor and the video game world yawned. Just recently they have announced that they will be showing games for it at 2010 E3, that the device would be available to buy in Q4 '10 and the video game world yawned again. Which is a shame because it has massive potential. With the right software support it could be bigger than the balance board.
FuRuy has opened a Twitter account called “Project Alice” teasing a new game announcement on April 25 at 20:30 JST.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
No, it's stupid.
I think it's got good, but limited potential. A horror game could make great use of it but it's hard to find a use in other games and it could be detrimental to them too.
all the senior citizens need it when playing Wii fit, so it should sell good and is needed by 1/2 of the Wii crowd. Now they just need to come up with a sensor for detecting wet diapers for the other 1/2 of the Wii gamers.
Nintendo should focus on getting more great games in the works. I have no intention of buying this accessory. They should stop creating these insane accessories and start pumping out a new Starfox, F-Zero, Pikmin and other great franchises they have.
Don't get me wrong, Nintendo is catering to a lot of people, but I only bought one game this year. New Super Mario Bros, unless Mario Kart came out this year too, if not then yes, just one game.
Looks like the vibrating touch from Trojan condom maker.
