Miyamoto: Zelda could use Vitality Sensor

MCV Staff 22nd March 2010 Business News

Nintendo guru Shigeru Miyamoto has hinted that the Vitality Sensor could be integrated into the next Zelda game.

Speaking to NowGamer, he said: Whenever we are going to use any new device, it is possible to expand the appeal to those who are new to the videogaming world.

At the same time, however, it is also fun to think of ways in which we might apply the new technology to existing forms of gameplay – just like the way we are working on the new Legend of Zelda together with Wii MotionPlus.

So maybe you might like to ask me to incorporate the Vitality Sensor into Zelda so that as you become more scared, the enemies become even tougher.”

The Vitality Sensor was unveiled at last year’s E3, but no software has been confirmed for the device. More details are expected to be announced at this year’s event.

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
