The first part yes, the second part no unless you have a link.

haha ok cool, cause i was like "Dang, if true, the successor of Nintendo's unannounced console should be out about the same time :P"

Could the 3DS be used as a controller? Ono speculates that Street Fighter IV would have some connectivity with a new Home console and being portable at the same time.

http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=154340

If so, could we see a huge connectivity to see eShop from the 3DS being at the same time on Project Cafe? Maybe that's why the eShop is not avaible right now on 3DS.

It would be awesome to see Nintendo compete with a new console that's technically more advanced than the rest, that hasn't happened since the Super Famicom (albeit briefly). The fact is the Wii has served it's purpose - it's expanded the audience for Nintendo, now it's time for Nintendo to hit all those new gamers with HD AAA core software, while also allowing users to be able to enjoy multi-platform games on their Nintendo console too.

E3 should be incredible, I expect Nintendo will reveal the real hook of this console, which will certainly have F all to do with raw power, but instead innovation which improves the videogame experience in their eyes. I expect it may have something to do with light & sound.

Sounds interesting. I think it's a given one way or another that the 3DS will have connectivity with the "Wii2".

Thats not true. N64 was the most powerful console until Dreamcast.

It could be NGP/PS3 connectivity. The only portable Super Street Fighter IV is the 3DS game. But I'll say it's a rumor to be considered for Project Cafe.

However, the eShop cross-platform is my speculation.

Nintendo will have an investor meeting next week. (April 25)

With all these crazy rumors, Nintendo will have to talk with its investors.

BTW, E3 is on June 7-9 this year.

Thats absolutely and completely false. They sold EVERY gamecube at a profit, and even if they had taken a loss, they were printing money with the DS...

So... in other words, now it's time for Nintendo to put out a $600 console that no one in their expanded audience would even think about buying, and for Nintendo to get back into third place? :P

(As an aside, could you please not make your font white? In the light GameSpot theme that makes your post quite literally white-on-white, which is a little hard to read.)

why the hell would you be using gamespot's white theme in the first place? :PBrunoBRS

I've tried switching to the dark theme but GameSpot refuses to let the setting stick, so I've resigned to my fate.

GTA5 wouldn't be so surprising, if the new console has similar hardware like the competition. Rockstar also released Bully, Manhunt 2 and that Tabletennis game in the Wiis early life.

I bring you a link to a sw topic about the GTA rumor for the Wii 2 (click here)I'll admit I didnt click on the link in that topic, but it seems like Rockstar does indeed have a dev kit for the yet to be revealed Wii 2 and will be making GTA 5 ready for the Wii 2's launch.

I use the white one, I like it a lot more lol.

More rumors :

Retro Studio is coming with something on Cafe and it's a title that everyone wants them to do (Star Fox, F-Zero?) : http://paulgalenetwork.com/home/2011/04/18/retro-studios-working-on-a-project-everyone-wants-us-to-do-on-wii-2/

To boost this rumor, Retro is proceding to hire some people : http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/26104.

Others rumors:

• Square Enix, Capcom, Sega, Konami, Activision, Rockstar/Take Two, Electronic Arts, Namcoand Ubisoft all have development kits.
• They each have at least one game in development for the Wii 2.
• Expect games to be coming to this system that you would never expect on a Nintendo console.
• Nintendois kissing third party ****s with this console.
• The new Nintendo controller sounds more ridiculous on paper. When you actually see the thing, it makes a lot more sense from a design standard.
• Expect Nintendo to roll out the red carpet for third parties so their games don't get overshadowed. Nintendo has been preaching to third parties that third parties won't get screwed this time around, so if you're expecting a ton of amazing first party games at launch…well…think again. Nintendo wants a launch that creates confidence in third parties again so expect very few first party games at launch similar to the 3DS.
• Star Fox is coming. I can't say when. Very good chance that it WONT be at E3. I am hearing Star Fox is coming for the new Nintendo system, but it is very early in development.
• Nintendo solvedevery storage issue a third party could possibly have with the new console. I don't know if it's a harddrive or a different, cheaper way to store data.
• Nintendo revamping their WiiWare and virtual consoleservices. I don't think it will be called WiiWare anymore.
• Almost positive that we'll be seeing Pikmin in some shape or form.
• A first person shooter that people love will be ported to the 3DS. I can't say what game, but it's popular among FPS gamers.
• Expect a crapload of 3DS love at this E3. The show will be wayyy more 3DS than Wii 2 (Project Cafe). 3DS stuff will be at least 60 percent of the E3 pre-show.
• Don't listen to anyone who says new Nintendo console will launch by end of 2011. They are idiots. This holiday season is all about the 3DS and Nintendo's E3 show will focus on that.
• Don't expect many games to be shown at E3 for new Nintendo console, but expect all of the key features to be revealed.
• Nintendo is thinking about launching Zelda: Skyward Sword around the same time as Wii 2 since Wii 2 is backwards compatible with Wii 1 games. They want to follow the same strategy when they launched Pokemon Black/White when 3DS was coming out.
• I am 90 percent sure you will not see a Zelda: Skyward Sword port to the Wii 2. It will remain a Wii 1 game.
• Nintendo approached Hideo Kojima about the new Nintendo console. Nintendo and Hideo Kojimahave a good relationship with each other.
• A Resident Evil game is in development for the new Nintendo system. I don't know if Capcom is developing an RE spinoff or something part of the "main" Resident Evil series.
• Retrostudios started working on a Wii 2 game. It is NOT Metroid. Retro is done with Metroid.

This makes me a sad panda...

I think the images looks pretty fake lol

The ones with the controller and the 'HD touch screen' looks like a still from a course on Mario Kart Wii, anyone know the course im thinking of? The controller kinda looks like GC Controller + Wii Classic Controller...?

Nice find though, wonder if Nintendo will say anything on Tuesday or not?

I don't think the controllers will be like that, but based on the style, it looks like a DS or 3DS. IF that were the case and it actually did come like this, I expect the 3DS could be used as a controller for this "project cafe".

That looks alot like the fake pictures IGN made.

I believe that it is very likely that the controller could have a screen in it, and that the consoles design will look awesome. But something tells me those pics are fake, but then again they could just be concepts of the protypes.

More new rumors from IGN:

-Pricing between $350 to $400.
-Could be released this year between mid-October and early November.
-Additionally, IGN has learned that the system will be based on a revamped version of AMD's R700 GPU architecture, not AMD's Fusion technology as previously believed, which will, as previously reported, out perform the PlayStation 3's NVIDIA 7800GTX-based processor. Like the Xbox 360, the system's CPU will be a custom-built triple-core IBM PowerPC chipset, but the clocking speeds will be faster. The system will support 1080p output with the potential for stereoscopic 3D as well, though it has not been determined whether that will be a staple feature.
-Console design comparable to that of the original Xbox 360 and the system is likely to resemble a modernized version of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).
-Possible name : Nintendo Stream.

http://uk.gear.ign.com/articles/116/1163325p1.html

Looks like a hundred dollar controller.

Stream isn't a bad name, but its not possible that it could be released this year. meetroid8

Controllers rumors :

sonic_spark

Found a 'grainy colour image' of the console here:
http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/85734/first-grainy-picture-of-project-cafe-leaked/
the text is a little hard to read though

Here is another mockup from 01Net.

The display on the controller is not high definition, but instead at a resolution in the range of 800 by 500 pixels.

They re-iterate a June 2012 time-frame for release, but say by that point the design of the controller could change.

The website is unable to confirm the final name of the console, but they refer to Stream, which is the rumored name as "a plausible and clever choice." They then elaborate on the possible streaming functionality of Nintendo's next system:


The console will be able to stream wirelessly streaming multiple types of streams (different media, games) to the knobs.

I personally don't like this mock up even if other think it is the most accurate.

Edit* here is the link I found the image at.
