Vitality Sensor

No doubt the biggest what-the-hell moment of E3 2009 was the reveal of Nintendo's Wii Vitality Sensor, a device that will read a players pulse to... well, we're still not sure, because Nintendo didn't give many details. And now it appears it'll be exactly one year later when those details will finally be filled in: Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime said they plan to show off the device at E3 next year, along with the first compatible games.

"We will show off the Vitality Sensor with software [at the show]," Fils-Aime succinctly said to Kotaku. "I'm not going to give you any more hints beyond that." This seems to suggest their original intention to release the device "not too late in the next year," according to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata back in August, is probably no longer the case.

E3 2010 is scheduled to take place June 15-17 next year, so we have exactly that much time between now and then to get all of our insane theories and speculation out of our system (for our part, we're still pretty sure Nintendo will make Mario Super Sleuths: Lie Detection Unit a flagship title). And with some "surprises" regarding the next Wii Zelda also planned for E3 2010, it's looking like it'll be quite an eventful show for Nintendo and Nintendo fans alike.
