Fils-Aime promises Vitality Sensor will "wow" you

During Nintendo's E3 press conference, there were absolutely highs (Super Mario Galaxy 2) absolutely lows (Women's Murder Club) and absolutely WTF's. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has decided to instill some confidence in the gamer's mind about the briefly discussed Vitality Sensor.

“Until you have that software, it's tough to understand,” Fils-Aime recently told FastCompany. “If I told you that you would be standing on an oversized bathroom scale, and having fun doing it, you probably would have said ‘Reggie, I don't get it."

Very true, Mr. Fils-Aime.

"We probably had a similar conversation about the Wii Remote: how is this going to work, how is it going to work with the games that I want to play--I don't get it. Now I'm hearing something similar for the Wii Vitality Sensor. And all I can tell you is, with the game developers that we have, we will bring forth an experience that you will say, 'Wow, I get it.'"

Looking at the Vitality Sensor, it is easy to see one thing. It will replace the Nunchuk in that hand. Could this mean that you could possibly use your finger's motions or heart rate to control movement in a game? I guess only time will tell.
