Mario, Zelda and Wii Fit Plus incoming?

According to Macquarie Research Nintendo will be announcing three huge titles for the Wii at their E3 conference next week. Apparently they will be unveiling new Mario and Zelda titles along with a follow-up to the hugely successful Wii Fit. The report also suggests the new Wii Fit title will be sold as two different SKU’s, one will be the standalone game and the other will see the game getting bundled with the balance board.

Now we know these are just rumours for now as nothing has been confirmed by Nintendo yet but there is definitely some substance behind them. In April Nintendo registered something called Wii Fit Plus with the Japanese Patent Office and then if that wasn’t proof enough there was also a logo to go with it which can be seen below. Nintendo know that Wii Fit is a cash cow and they intend to milk it; we expect this new Wii Fit to been shown at E3.

As for the new Mario and Zelda titles, well Nintendo would be crazy not to announce something about them at E3. Even though they are still currently rolling in the money thanks to the DS and Wii (plus Wii Fit) I think they know they need something please the more “hardcore” gamer and these titles certain fit that bill. There was a huge backlash after their underwhelming conference last year so yes we expect Nintendo will, at the very least, reveal details regarding these titles for gamers to salivate over during their E3 conference next week.
