According to Nikkei's English-language edition, Wii Fit Plus is due for a late Q3/early Q4 release in Japan. The service reports that the game "will enable users to compete with each other over the Internet. It will also offer gentle exercises for the elderly, and will respond to player inputs more precisely than the current version." There is no mention of price, exact date, release in other regions and whether the new Motion Plus sensors will come into play or a new and improved balance board will be released.
But wait, there's more. Nikkei's Japanese-language edition also has reports of a 'new' Mario title due for release in Japan by year's end. Aside from the line that Nintendo is hoping that the the game will reinvigorate flat-lining Wii sales, there are no other concrete details available at this time. So from exactly which Mario franchise this game will come from is unknown, but it seems a little too early for a follow-up to Super Mario Galaxy.
We'll be blogging the Nintendo E3 conference live, so we'll be on hand to bring any potential confirmations or denials very soon.
