Vitality Sensor Coming 'Not Too Late' Next Year

President Iwata says this could have a similar impact to Wii Fit.

Surely topping most Nintendo fans lists of most anticipated games, the Wii Vitality Sensor will be making its way to store shelves next year, according to President Satoru Iwata.

During Nintendo's recent financial briefing, Iwata was asked for his feelings on how well the Vitality Sensor would sell, and if it would be comparable to Wii Fit.

"Before Wii Fit launched, everyone doubted how well it could sell. As for Wii Vitality Sensor, I think it will face similar doubts as to whether such a product will sell well in the video game market," he said.

"Of course no one can tell how people respond to it before the launch. We understand everyone wants to enjoy a vibrant lifestyle, so I believe if the product could support that desire, it would make a large impact in society."

Iwata then followed up his comments by giving a release window for the finger-inserting game.

"We would like to deliver the actual product not too late in the year next year," he added. "As I have mentioned, last-minute polishing is crucial for developing video games, so please understand that we'll need to refrain from commenting on an exact release date."
