Nintendo Introduces New 'Vitality Sensor'

June 4, 2009 | ISSUE 45•23

At the Electronic Entertainment Expo, Nintendo unveiled the Wii Vitality Sensor, a device that attaches to your finger and, according to the manufacturer, promotes relaxation as it creates a visual representation of your "inner world." What do you think?

If Nintendo wants me to relax with something that attaches to my finger, they’d better start making cigarettes.”

How inner? I don't think revisiting that uncomfortable 15 minutes out behind the Dairy Queen in 1982 is going to help me relax.

If there’s anything our nation's video gamers need to learn, it’s how to take a little time for themselves and unwind.
