A trademark registered by Nintendo was recently found over in Japan. The trademark is for a Wii Fit Plus which appears it could be a follow on to the Wii Fit game. Not many details are to be found in the trademark although there is a designed logo which would indicate that Nintendo could well be working on a new product rather then just protecting a potential future product.

The Wii Fit Plus could be a number of things such as a new game for the Wii Fit or is could be a complete new balance board with more accurate hardware or even more possible, extra features to allow for more accurate and a wider variety of exercises. [Read more…]

A rumour has been around saying that Microsoft are looking to combine the Zune with an XBox 360 making an ultimate portable handheld gaming and music machine. The image shown is just a concept fan drawn image, but could indicate what is in store in the next year or so.

Anyway, the project is codenamed ‘xYz. I am assuming the ‘X comes from the Xbox 360 and the ‘Z comes from the Zune. As for the ‘Y, the answer to that is ‘because they can, and it would make money.

Not much is known about the xYz apart from it probably having a WVGA screen that is also touchscreen… but of course, all these specs are just rumour and concept at the moment.

Not sure if the idea will be listened to by Microsoft but judging on how well the Nintendo DS does, I’d be surprised if MS didn’t have a go at the portable gaming industry.
