Quality of Life is an initiative originally led by late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. We first heard about plans to create a product involving sleep and fatigue at the start of 2014. Since then, nothing has really materialized.

Despite the lack of news over the years, Nintendo once again says that Quality of Life is being pursued. Here’s an excerpt from the company’s annual report:

Moreover, we are working on the development of a new product that improves people’s QOL (Quality of Life) in enjoyable ways. Our aim is to enable consumers to make daily efforts to improve their QOL in a fun manner by
making sleep and fatigue status visible and offering various services based on this information.
