Wii Fit is one of the best-selling video games of all time, with over 18 million copies sold in a little under a year on the market. Crazy? Yes. Depressing? Well, that's a matter of opinion.

Not even Nintendo is going to leave such a successful product with no follow-up and we're starting to see signs of what the Wii Fit sequel might be. Last month it appears Nintendo registered both a trademark and logo with the Japanese trademark office for something called Wii Fit Plus. A similar registration happened in the European trademark offices at around the same time.

Analyst group Macquarie Research has announced that they expect to see Wii Fit Plus officially announced at this year's E3. The firm states that they expect the product to be sold separately from the Balance Board but also "in a bundle," which makes it sound like the potential Wii Fit sequel may have some sort of new peripheral all its own.

Of course, analysts like Macquarie are wrong about their game industry predictions all the time. Even the existence of the logo you see above doesn't mean that something called Wii Fit Plus is necessarily going to be announced at E3 or will ever exist at all. Still, Wii Fit Plus is looking possible enough that we'll have our eyes peeled for it at the show this year.
