Nintendo E3 Update: The name is revealed… and the controller
Nintendo’s press conference has started and we finally know what the Wii 2 will be called. And that is… the Wii U! Not the Stream or the feel or the cafe but the Nintendo Wii U. Reggie’s justification for the name was the fact that it is a system tailored made for one person in […]
Did all of Nintendo’s E3 announcements just get leaked?
A 4chan user by the name of Round Cactus claims to be an ESRB employee who has screened the sizzle reel Nintendo will be showing at E3 in less than 48 hours. It’s quite possibly the most grandiose “leak” we’ve had so far, rivaling even those of Emily Rogers. I’ve got my suspicions about the […]
Project Café to simply be called ‘Nintendo’?
Yep, you read the title of this post right. We’re less than two days away from E3 now, and GameInformer is hearing talk that the Wii 2 won’t be called the Stream, Feel, Beem, or anything of the sort. Their sources tell them that it will simply be called… …Nintendo.
Wii 2 will be the PlayStation 2 of the next generation
Paul Gale, the man who gave us the juicy rumour that Retro Studios is working on a Wii 2 project we all want, has received another interesting tidbit of info from a secret source of his. Nintendo’s new machine is powerful and though I hate to bash, it won’t be another Dreamcast. This will be […]
Faked: ‘Super Mario Wii 2,’ Vitality Sensor, and Wii 2 console appear in retailer listing
A NeoGAF’er by the name of Nemesis556 has put up a picture of what he claims to be a local retailer’s listing of Wii games and products they are expecting to receive. Three very interesting items appeared on it. I’m 99% sure it’s fake, and I’ll explain why in a moment, but I’m putting it […]
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 […]
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 […]
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), […]
More proof that the Wii 2 will have a camera
We recently ran a story discussing rumours that the Wii 2’s controller might have a front-facing camera. Now we have more information that seems to add a little more weight to those rumours. In a quarterly results call, the company OmniVision hinted that they were getting ready to ship their 8-megapixel camera for use in a smartphone, […]
