However from what little they did provide its likely Nintendo are going to start with stress management games similar in nature to Healing Rhythm&#8217;s Journey to Wild Divine series. Given the relax-to-win game format is very common in biofeedback based stress management, I&#8217;m suprised a game demo was not forthcoming. Oh well, E3 isn&#8217;t over as of yet, so they might reveal some more information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><em>Next we&#8217;ll have a look at the type of experiences the Wii Vitality can be expected to provide.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At this year\u2019s E3 Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony all presented their own vision of how the player will interact with games in the future.
