You know, about that Wii Vitality Sensor thing, I wonder if something similar will be incorporated into the new Cafe controller.
Now, I’ve always thought that the Vitality Sensor is.. pretty crap. I mean, it’s a good idea, and the potential is pretty cool, but the way it would be presented and used for the Wii wouldn’t be an instant win like the Wii Balance Board or something. But think of the potential of technology like the Vitality Sensor being embedded into the new controller! o:

It’s possible! Some people have speculated that Nintendo will just bring over some of the tech to Project Cafe. If there’s an announcement at E3, we’ll let you know!

Ahh right o: It seems like a logical idea, to take what worked this gen and improve upon whilst mixing with new tech. But the wait is killing me.. xD Only a week left now though!
And awesome! I look forward to seeing announcements on here! I’ve been using this site for years, and I love how you interact with your members/fans
Thanks!

Always love hearing about long-time visitors. Brings a smile to my face (I think I just sounded a bit like Cammie Dunaway there!). Hope you tune in for E3 coverage!
