According to Nikkei, Japan is set to get a new, larger version of the Nintendo DSi later this year. The new DSi will be the same price, and at 4 inches, will have a screen 3/4 ” wider than the current model. Apparently they’re making this for the “older generation”, the consumer base of such items as the jumbo remote control and large print crossword puzzles.

As we approach the colder months of the year here at Joystiq HQ, we like to fool ourselves by picking up the latest Wiinovations in the world of game-based exercise equipment, knowing wholeheartedly that they’ll never end up getting much use. This year, however, we figured we would extend that same ideological principle to you. We hope that your moral certitude will employ Wii Fit Plus and Active Life Extreme Challenge (it’s totally extreme) more than we would! We’ll be picking a winne

A portion of the Guardian review of Wii Fit Plus: “Newcomers will have to splash out for the balance board as well and cost does then become an issue.

CNET: How do you reach that core gamer? Fils-Aime: We have near-term, mid-term and long-term opportunities. The near-term opportunity is the consumer who owns an PS3 or an Xbox 360 and has been bad-mouthing Wii to their friends.

Would be amazing if I could say that I’ll be at E3 this year showing off World 3 or something cool like that, but alas, I’m just on the consumer side of the news barrage once again. Anyways, looks like most of the 3rd party info has been spilling out over the last few days, especially for 3rd party Wii games, since no news is going to stand a chance amidst whatever Nintendo finally decides to unveil. Any guesses on what we’ll be seeing? Sounds like a new Zelda and / or Mario title is almost
