Nintendo has hinted that they could be making an announcement on the Vitality Sensor a bit earlier than expected.

The platform holder have announced that they will be holding a joint press conference with the American Heart Association on May 17th, but have not said what it will be about.

Whilst it is entirely possible that it will just be an announcement regarding Fit, the Vitality Sensor, which is essentially a heart-rate monitor is also a suspect for the press conference.

If indeed the Vitality Sensor is the main focus of the press conference this will probably pre-empt the accessory's appearance at this years E3.

Thanks 1UP.
