As you’ve heard, theWii Fitpart of this story is the most solid. In the Japanese Trademark Database, aWii Fit Pluscomes up. Great name, Nintendo. Very inventive. We’ll act totally surprised at the announcement on Tuesday’s press conference at E3.Siliconeraalso found a couple of other interesting title names in the database:Art Academy andBonsaiBarber, with the latter being a domestic WiiWare release. I wonder whatArt Academyis.
The Mario and Zelda rumors come from an analyst firm that seems to be making sht up — sht that just about anyone in this industry could’ve guessed. According toGamesIndustry.biz, They echo theWii Fit Plusthing, but then go on to say that we should expect announcements of a Mario or Zelda game. Macquarie Research’s reason? They “expect Nintendo to learn its lessons from last year and provide more gamer-centric announcements.”
Yeah, so do we.
I’ll be up at the ass-crack of dawn to liveblog theNintendo press conferencenext week. Maybe we’ll get something more interesting than a new Wii Fit game. Stay tuned.
