If a new trademark is to be seen at face value, Nintendo has taken the misunderstood notion of casual gaming to its natural conclusion and is working on software that allows you to do absolutely nothing in the name of fun. WiiRelax exists as just a name right now, but I think we all know Nintendo well enough to know that it is likely to be a genuine thing.
As far as I could speculate, WiiRelax would basically include a cushion peripheral that you stick the Wiimote in, then you lay on the cushion and have a little sleep. When you wake up, there's a score on your TV screen. I am 100% certain that this is what Wii Relax entails.
What do you think WiiRelax could mean, and what kind of stupid peripherals will come with it?

Besides, SOMEONE will find a way to use it as one, I'm sure.
This will be the game that comes with the pulse reading thingamijig. I'd be suprised if it isn't.
Should have been calles Wiilax though.
The only good thing the vitality sensor could beused for would be a new Fear Effect!
Or some kind of survival horror game that would have negative effects on the player when they were scared.
Now, seriously... nintendo should wake up and give more life to the wii
there are 69 positions preorder now and you'll have +10
That's pretty relaxing.
What's next, WiiFap?!
Lol
BAD slogan if you ask me, sounds rike bad engrish.
They became the #1 console maker of this generation in less than 3 years, so what have you done lately?
It's the software for the Wii Vitality Sensor, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. Its not like Nintendo's only putting this out in 2010, so don't freak out about it people. They have Sin & Punishment 2, Metroid: Other M, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Pikmin 3, and maybe even Zelda still coming out next year, or soon thereafter. So its not like Nintendo is only focusing on the casuals now. Its one freaking game VS the many hardcore one, so 2010 could be the best year yet, for hardcore gamers on the Wii, but they still need something for the casuals.
For those who have played it, can you imagine a more relaxing game experience than that?
Sorry, that's bugged me since day one. Anyway, WiiRelax sounds like a meditation dvd. Maybe the peripheral will be a stick that you plop onto the wiimote so you can wiirake your zen wiigarden with all the accuracy of wiimotion plus.
