Analysts predict WiiFit Plus, new Mario or Zelda, other things at E3

Industry respected analysts, Macquarie Research, have predicted that Nintendo will announce WiiFit Plus along with a new Mario or Zelda game for the Wii at next week’s E3.

After last year’s less than exciting E3 announcements of Wii Music and Wii Sports Resort, we can tell that Nintendo might have learned their lesson, so I can’t disagree with Macquarie and that we should see either a new Mario or Zelda (hopefully both!) announced for the Wii.

Other predictions from the analyst include a new PSP with a “sliding screen” and “no UMD”, but instead with downloadable games only. They also go on to say they believe there will be no PS3 price cut, however, an announcement is expected for a new Playstation 3 Slim model, which could be the same one we got a sneak peak at earlier this month. As for the 360, the rumored motion sensing camera/controller is expected to be unveiled, which wouldn’t be much of a surprise.

E3 starts next Monday, June 1, so we’ll just have to wait ’til next week to see what predictions come true.
