Touchscreen controller confirmed, to be usable as a standalone device?
Arguably the most prominent rumour about the Wii’s successor has been that of a touchscreen-enabled controller. Nikkei, a well-known source of accurate leaks in the past, has “confirmed” that the Wii 2’s controller will, in fact, actually feature that six-inch touchscreen. And while it wasn’t said directly, a further statement seems to imply that the […]
Super Mario Café to be shown at E3?
CVG claims to have heard word that Nintendo’s going to be showing off another Mario game that isn’t Super Mario 3DS at E3, quite possibly one for the Wii’s successor. They speculate that it may be a new Super Mario Galaxy title, but that’s just their own guess. But we’ve also heard another little whisper […]
Project Café to be at EB Expo in October?
EB Games is starting a new video games expo down in Australia known as the EB Expo. Nintendo’s been confirmed to be in attendance there, but Daniel Vuckovic of Vooks.net has heard word that their new console will be shown there, “with Nintendo allegedly booking floor space for something big.” Tickets for the show are […]
New Zelda title to be revealed at E3
Not too long ago, Eiji Aonuma appeared on Famitsu’s TV channel, Nico Nico, and apparently revealed a very interesting little tidbit while he was on there: namely, that a new Zelda title would get shown during the week of E3 in celebration of the franchise’s 25th anniversary. That’s all we’ve got. The platform of the […]
Video: A (fake) Project Café console from Craigslist
One of Rooster Teeth‘s latest videos joins into the barrage of alleged Project Café leaks we’ve had over the past few days with a comical spin. It’s nothing glamorous or particularly high-end, but rather serves to simply poke fun at all the totally unconfirmed rumours about the console – and succeeds gloriously in doing so. […]
A Metroid screenshot (faked, but awesome nonetheless)
We’re now into the final week before E3, and at this stage, the rumour mill is likely going to go wild, so don’t feel compelled to believe everything you read online about the Wii 2. With that said, an alleged screenshot of a Metroid game on Project Café has surfaced. The screenshot is definitely fake, […]
Could ‘Beem’ be Project Café’s real name?
There’s been a lot of debate over what Project Café would actually end up being called. The two most common names we’ve heard so far are ‘Nintendo Stream’ and ‘Nintendo Feel’. But an interesting news tip from Dooks1111 (who contributed a piece to the mockup gallery and will get a community showcase feature soon) brings […]
A ‘leaked’ Project Café specs sheet
An image has just started circulating the web, which purports to be a sheet of the Wii 2’s technical specifications. It looks plausible, and is more or less in line with what we’ve been hearing about the console’s specs so far (minus the quad-core CPU – we’ve only heard reports of a tri-core so far), […]
Wii is too weak for Sonic Generations – is a Project Café port possible?
In the latest issue of Nintendo Power, Takashi Iizuka apparently explained why the Wii wouldn’t be getting Sonic Generations – the game SEGA is making to commemorate Sonic’s 20th anniversary. The reason was one we’ve all probably become familiar with by now – it’s simply not powerful enough for them to realize their ideas on […]
‘Super secret shoot’ with Zelda Williams – is it related to Project Café?
Zelda Williams, the daughter of the actor Robin Williams, apparently took part in a ‘super-secret shoot’ with Nintendo about six days ago, according to her own Twitter account. It began with the following message… [blackbirdpie id=”72651576526897152″] …which she then followed up with these three pictures from the shooting, none of which reveal absolutely anything. There’s […]
