Tijdens de E3 van 2009 kwam Nintendo vol trots met de Wii Vitality Sensor, of zoals wij hem noemen: Het ding waar je zeker één keer je penis in stopt. Zonder dollen..we zouden het echt doen. Maar goed het ziet er naar uit dat deze gadget nu een stille dood is gestorven, want tijdens een meeting met de investeerders ontweek Satoru Iwata strategisch alle vragen rond om deze penis gadget.

During a Q&A session, Iwata was asked if Nintendo is still making big titles for the Wii and noted that there hasn't been any recent news about the Wii Vitality Sensor. Iwata replied that Nintendo is working on big Wii titles, but was mum on the Wii Vitality Sensor specifics.

"Of course, we want to release original titles, but in order to release new games, we must continue developing them," the Nintendo president said. Iwata went on to point out the time is necessary to ensure a game's quality. The hurdles for original games, Iwata noted, are quite high. Nintendo must thread a needle between "interesting" and "easy to understand".
