Nintendo’s E3 announcements leaked? New Mario game, Wii Fit Plus (online) this year

Well, not entirely leaked.  But as it turns out, Japan’s Nikkei newspaper reports that we’ll be seeing Wii Fit Plus this year, featuring more accurate measurements (probably via Wii MotionPlus) and online functionality.  The extent to which it’s going to be online we don’t yet know, but we’ll surely find out on Tuesday at Nintendo’s media briefing (which we’ll be live-blogging for you, as well as providing full HD coverage post-show).

In addition to that, the newspaper also mentions a “new Mario game” also coming this year.  What precisely that means (e.g., Super Mario Galaxy 2, which seems unlikely this soon after the first installment, or Mario Party 14, which might provoke our purchase (for professional commercial use within our organization) of a NeckPro™ Traction Device of our own.

More soon.
