Make a wii health program game disc to make your wii your own wii health game doctor with a purple color light letting you know it is in health mode, where you use the wii vitality sensor to check all vital signs & you can use it to help you fall asleep. What i mean is use your wii vitality sensor to sense when you first go to sleep, how long it takes to get totally asleep, & how long you slept.

Jeez, what is it with tech blogs and this vaporware bandwagon about the Vitality Sensor? Can’t we just wait until the damn thing comes out? Is everyone ready to eat crow if Nintendo finds a hook for the VS?

I think that it may come down to how we define Vaporware. I was at the C.E.S. when Nintendo announced their Super NES CD-ROM, and it seemed pretty clear that they were only announcing it to blunt the excitement for the Sega CD. I have always taken the meaning to be somewhat deceptive. Where somebody announces something to stop momentum going in their competitor’s favor. I didn’t see that happen with the Nintendo 64DD. The fact that I can buy an N64DD sets it apart from the Super NES CD-ROM or even the Sega Genesis VR headset (which I tried and hated). It may just come down to how we choose to define what Vaporware really is.

@Cyril

I do, in the sense that by the time it was released in 1999, no one cared anymore, and it was a different product (mostly subscription-based) than originally announced. The N64DD as we knew it was vaporware, even if some form of it was eventually released in Japan.
