Everything we know about Project Café (so far)
Newbs of Splodinator.com has emailed an article of his in to me, which I thought would be worth featuring on Wii 2 Blog. In the works since April 25th – the day Nintendo officially announced the Wii’s successor – Newbs’s piece serves as a all-in-one compilation of all the rumours, news, and “facts” we know […]
‘Zelda Universe’ rated for unknown ‘online’ platform [Updated]
Update: According to GoNintendo, the rating has existed for years, and refers to the official Zelda Universe website, despite what I initially thought. So that’s that. Nothing exciting. Today, the Entertainment Software Rating Board – colloquially known as the ESRB – released a rating that is sure to spur lots of discussion. The rating reveals a new […]
The first leaked video of the Wii 2?
The following video has surfaced on Youtube, which is supposed to have been sneakily shot during a presentation at an unknown video game developer. Once again, it shows what some people have begun to call “the Windows 7 box that doesn’t want to die.” Take it for what it’s worth. Do you think it’s real […]
‘Wii 2’ trending on Yahoo!
Wii 2 rumours must be getting quite popular, if what GoNintendo reader Juan found is any indication. Yesterday, the search phrase “wii 2” appeared on Yahoo!’s list of trending topics, and apparently stayed there for quite a while. It takes a lot for something to get into that list, so there must be a lot […]
Zelda: Skyward Sword is still coming to the Wii in 2011
In other words, it won’t be going the way of Twilight Princess and jumping to the Wii’s successor at the last minute. In an interview with MCV, Nintendo’s marketing manager Rob Lowe (re-)confirmed this by telling us that, “there are great new pieces of software launching this year such as Wii Play: Motion in June […]

A national survey (of the US) was carried out with the intent to find out how many gamers want to purchase the Wii 2 based on everything we know about it at this stage (or at least, everything that rumours lead us to believe we know). The results were as follows: 27% intend to purchase […]
IGN builds the Wii 2 [Video]
The folks at IGN decided to something I’d call a little crazy, and built a PC with specs roughly equivalent to what Project Café is rumoured to pack. They made a video of it in action, which shows off the Frankenstein-like machine and several PC graphical heavy-hitters like Crysis 2 running silky-smooth on it, with […]

The first Wii 2 screenshots?
Emily Rogers stayed true to her word and put up some screenshots of what is allegedly two Project Café games. The two games pictured are Pikmin 3 and Endless Ocean 3. They may or may not be the real deal, so take them with a grain of salt. Emily herself even re-iterated the point several […]
First (fake) screenshots of Grand Theft Auto 5
I stumbled across two (probably fake) pictures of Grand Theft Auto V. A rumour that has proven to be popular is that the sequel to Grand Theft Auto IV is going to be a launch title for Project Café. This is supposed to be our first look at the game, but it’s much more likely […]
