Wii Fit Plus and new Mario set for E3 reveal

Japanese business daily The Nikkei is reporting that platform holder Nintendo will reveal a new version of its world-conquering Wii Fit game at its E3 press conference tomorrow.

Reuters says that it will be entitled Wii Fit Plus, and that its leading USP will be the ability to share game information with friends and family over the internet using Nintendo’s Wi-fi Connect 24 network.

MCV would also suggest that the name could well mean that Wii Fit Plus will make use of Nintendo’s soon to be released Wii Motion plus controller add-on, that drastically improves the sensitivity of the WiiMote.

In addition, Nikkei also claims that a brand new Mario title will see the light of day, too. Fans will be hoping for something along the lines of Super Mario World 3 or Super Mario Galaxy 2 – though perhaps it’s more realistic to expect some sort of racing or sports affair, instead.
