Satoru Iwata says Nintendo Vitality Sensor Coming “Not Too Late” 2010
0 comments Posted by Hori at 9:49 PMNintendo’s Wii Motion Plus wasn’t the only thing they announced back at E3, and while it may not be on everyone’s collective minds anymore, the Vitality Sensor is something Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata is excited for.
During an investor Q&A, Iwata said that “Nintendo would like to deliver the actual product not too late in the next year.” While this is by no means an exact date, the release of this peripheral device for the Nintendo console would be Nintendo’s only real bet against the rumors of Microsoft’s Project Natal, as well as Sony’s Motion controls releasing in the Spring of the same year.
And probably the most important part, Iwata commented on the software, stating that the first game will “have a theme of relaxation, which is completely opposite from traditional ones, to enrich the user’s lives.” He did mention that “measuring how horrified a player is in a horror title” is just another application of the Sensor.

We found out about the PSP Go officially a few days ago, but now Sony is noting that their new portable will allow owners to download digital copies of games they’ve already purchased on UMD to the new device.
The new program will be based on when you purchased the games or when you bought the PSP Go unit itself. This way, people who have owned a PSP in the past can feel free to trade up without doing away with their previous game library.
We don’t know if the new program will cost anything, but the way Sony is talking about it, it seems like it might be free or only cost a trivial amount. But, we’ll just have to wait until the company announces the program in more detail.
