Project Cafe (Wii's Sucessor)

Silverphin · Jun 1, 2011

A lot of rumors floating around. According to Wikipedia, people can't even agree on what the controller is.

Many claims are focused on the new controller, which will allegedly feature dual analog sticks, a standard D-pad, two bumpers, two triggers and "possibly more".[16][21] IGN compared the functionality of the new controller to a Nintendo GameCube controller.[2] 01net claims the controller is "a touch tablet controller, with moderate graphic output," comparing the controller to an iPad with buttons. They also added that there is a front-facing camera on the controller.[20] Supposedly, the controller will also feature six-axis motion controls that outperform a PlayStation Move motion controller (in terms of fidelity),[22] as well as a built-in sensor bar.[20] Sources[who?] agree that the new controller features a 6-inch touchscreen.[23] 01net took the rumor a step further and claimed that the touchscreen would be single-touch.[20] Sources from CVG claimed that the controller featured a high-resolution screen.[16] IGN claims that the controller will allow players to stream entire games to the controller from the console,[2] and that the console itself "is likely to resemble a modernized version of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)."[24]

According to Edge, THQ president Brian Farrell allegedly told investors: "We don't expect new hardware any time soon from either Microsoft or Sony. It's different on Nintendo – we'll let them announce their new hardware".[22] Nintendo has not commented on the claims, saying only that "Nintendo does not comment on rumors or speculation".[13]

In a recent interview with Gameblog.fr, when asked about the existence of Project Café, Shigeru Miyamoto expressed that readers should not believe everything they read and that Nintendo is always working on new hardware, some of which will never be seen.[25] Since they never know what direction they will go for their next console or when they will release it, they do not disclose that information publicly.[26]

Here's a whole article on Gameinformer about it.

"Nintendo is doing this one right," said an anonymous source. "[It's] not a gimmick like the Wii." What else, beyond graphics, this may imply about the system is unknown. What kind of controls the system will support (we imagine a need for both classic analog configurations and motion controllers) or what level of software and infrastructure Nintendo will provide for online gaming is also unknown. However, it's a positive sign that the system might be more than just an HD Wii.
