BEIJING, June 1 (Xinhuanet) -- Nintendo, one of the largest software companies in the world located in Kyoto, Japan, will unveil a new and more precise version of the "Wii Fit" video game this fall, according to Japanese media reports Sunday.
The move is aimed at boosting sluggish Wii console unit
sales and attracting a wider range of players, said the reports.
"Wii Fit plus," the new version, will allow users to
compete with friends and family over the Internet to lose weight and other
activities, the reports said. The game will also feature more accurate health
measurements, so it can track a gamer's health a bit more accurately.
A new Mario video game will also be launched in the
second half of this year, though Nintendo hasn't publicly commented. Both the
Wii Fit Plus and new Mario games are expected to be announced during the
Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) this week from Los Angeles.
