That’s according to current president Shuntaro Furukawa, who told shareholders at an annual meeting on Thursday that Nintendo hasn’t given up on breaking into the health market.

During the company’s 79th annual general meeting of shareholders on Thursday, current president Furukawa revealed Nintendo still has health-related products in development.

“Although it’s a very long time ago, as a challenge towards a new business, we announced that we were developing products to improve quality of life. Even right now, the development is indeed still continuing,” he said (translated by Japanese Nintendo).

“Still, we have not made a product that we can proudly announce as a Nintendo product.”

Sounds wild. So it monitors you sleeping, projects your sleep stats on the wall and ceiling, and communicates with your cell phone.
