Final Project Cafe rumor sheet

Not for 3DS, so don't expect the below post to talk about any new 3DS games. It's only a few hours to the conference anyway. From someone by the name of 'Round Cactus'. who apparently leaked the 3DS specs and was accurate to boot. Whether you want to believe him or not is up to you.

-Skyward Sword remains on Wii?
-New console to be called 'Nintendo Current'?
-Mario, Kirby, Pikmin and Smash Bros?
-Lots, and I mean lots of 3rd party support?

Click image below. We'll match up Round Cactus' predictions with the real deal in a few hours' time.

Leaked Project Cafe footage?

Apparently a covert shooting of a developer presentation of Project Cafe, the 'console' being visible on the bottom of the video. It's like a compilation of nearly every leaked source we've seen over the past month, from the screens on the controller to the admittedly ugly plastic router like console. True?

Rumored Project Cafe E3 revealing

All the games, ALL THE GAMES! It's too hard to believe (Mario Kart and another Zelda even when the 3DS ones aren't even out?), but this has got to be everyone's dream launch list. I'm not too fond of Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty, but their presence on this list speaks volumes of how much Nintendo have already done right this time. If this turns out to be true that is. What do you think?

Pokemon RPG too. Hopefully it has DS/3DS connectivity.

- Pikmin 3 (playable, launch title)
- Pokemon RPG (video, launch or near launch title)

Rumored Project Cafe E3 revealing

Wii successor in 2012! It's official!

From Kotaku, a letter from Nintendo:

Playable at E3 too! Anyone up for another Nintendo console stampede? I remember five years ago with the Wii....things are starting to get exciting once more.

Wii successor in 2012! It's official!

Project Cafe console mock-up

Looks all plasticky and stuff. I don;t know what to make of this but it matches another mock-up from a leaked source which looks like this

Yeah there's been a lot of rubbish and imaginative controllers floating around for the past few days, but this particular one intrigued me in saying that it was very close to what the real controller would look like. What?

Ooh pretty. D-pad and four button setup that isn't 3DS protracted, and gosh, that screen. Hope it won't be unwieldy- it's not comfortable holding a large rectangle thing while you control an on-screen game. The screen is claimed to be around 800x500 px.

Wii successor and 3DS rumors

A storm is brewing over at Nintendo. What could be going on in there? The suspense builds as we head into E3...Coming from this site. Look at all that stuff. Nintendo is trying desperately to top last year's excellent E3 showing, as if it wasn't already good enough!

Most 3rd party giants have already gotten dev kits for Project Cafe. Square Enix, Capcom, Sega, Konami, Activision, Rockstar/Take Two, Electronic Arts, Namco and Ubisoft. We should be expecting games that have never been on a Nintendo console before....ooh, my blood is boiling. If GTA5 was any indication...oh wait, I didn't mention that before right? Yep, rumor mill says Grand Theft Auto 5 is heading to Project Cafe.

In addition to 3DS Starfox 64, there's also going to be a Wii2 Starfox. Storage issues have apparently all been solved, and WiiWare is being revamped....ye gods! Has Nintendo finally listened to our pleas?

Nintendo wants Zelda: Skyward Sword to be released on the same time as Wii2...AHAHAHAHA  TWILIGHT PRINCESS SYNDROME oh wait, the guy in charge of rumors says that there's a very, very high chance it'll stay a Wii exclusive. But 2012 is a long time to wait for the Zelda game that was announced a year ago....dammit.

And Retro Studios is working on a non-Metroid Wii2 game too.

The more I read from this article, the more excited I get....Try me if you don't believe. There are things on that site you would swear are too good to be true, yet want them to be. Us at N5S will be keeping a close eye out for this year's E3!
