Meet Nintendo's Newest Piece Of Hardware

And no, it's not the new DS. We're expecting confirmation of that later in the week. This, though, this is something a little different, a little smaller, a lot less interesting. Spotted by GAF user Shiggy on OAMI (the pan-European trademark registry), this is an official Nintendo...pedometer. If they ever make it, no doubt it'll be for use with Wii Fit - or maybe even Wii Fit 2 - since with no external display, it looks it'd be transmitting the data to the Wii. So, an official, branded, Nintendo pedometer! Exciting times we live in, no?

What the heck? Where did you find this?

I saw this too, I don't think it'll be taking off. The DS has a pedometer, the WiiFit board could also work as a pedometer as all its got to do is count foot steps.
I did hear though, that someone in the Greek department of Nintendo had said that this pedometer would send you information to a doctor, yes an actual doctor, who would then sent you your results. Imagine playing a game and then having an actual doctors note afterwards saying you ok to play on or whatever?? Crazy times

Why would doctors waste their time with that?

To "fascinate" people I presume?

All I can say is, it would sell, at least with the US. People will say, "OMG it is a weird looking video game.....thingy.....lets buy it!!"

All they have to do is make an awesome game that requires that, and loads of people will buy it.
