Rumor: Wii Fit 2, Wii Rhythm Heaven on the way
Japanese game magazine Game Labo is sometimes hilariously off base with their wild rumors (like when they had Dragon Quest IX heading to PSP or when they teased a redesigned Wiimote with a rechargeable battery), but sometimes they hit the nail on the head (in the very same issue as the Dragon Quest thing, they scooped everyone on the imminent release of the DS TV Tuner).
1up shared the latest rumors from the magazine, which include a couple of rather half-heartedly masked Nintendo rumors. One, about "Game Company 'N'" and a sequel to "its fitness game 'W'" is pretty clearly about Wii Fit. According to the magazine, a sequel to the megahit exercise game is on the way, adding stretching and massage to the directed activities, and potentially featuring endorsement from a "certain former U.S. Army instructor." Considering that Wii Fit is, like, a cultural institution, we are not surprised at all to hear about a sequel.
Also unsurprising, but about five million times more awesome if true, is the rumor that the same Game Company N is working on a Wii version of the DS "Rhythm game 'R'," or Rhythm Tengoku. Since the DS rhythm minigame collection turned out to be a big hit in Japan (and had better be a hit in the US, people), this makes total sense.
Also rumored is that Bandai Namco is going to make a ton of Tales games for every platform. Wow, such insider information. We also heard somewhere that EA is working on some games about playing sports.
Don't go preordering just yet -- these rumors are just that, rumors, and may just be junk some guy made up. But it's plausible junk!

More Tales are always good, and I'm always informed of them, beign a fanboy and all (I still can't play vesperia though, it's one of the 3 games that makes me want to have a xbox, the others are eternal sonata and star ocean 4). And for what I know bamco is making one for the wii (supposely tales of destiny 3), one for the psp (RM2), and I found on the internet info about tales of the abyss for cellphones (o.o).
There is a video in youtube with the trailer for the new mothership tales on the wii, the trailer came with tales of hearts bonus cd.
About Wii fit sequel, not interested, I'm not interested on the first one neither, I really fail to see the appeal on wii fit as a game, It's expensive (or at least in my country) and I would probably stop using it after a few weeks, I better use my money going to the gym. Maybe I'll get the board if a game that is not a mini-game collection or a sports game uses it. A rythm game also isn't worth buying a wii fit, rythm games are short ,and again, the board is expensive
I would like to see if they can use it on zelda, like to run around hyrule or evade atacks, that plus 1:1 with motion plus and a shield for the nunchuk would make me the happiest guy on earth, but of course that's not possible >_>.
