Wii 2 (Project Café)

Rumor: Project Cafe Virtual Console

Today I received some info from an insider source about whether people will be able to transfer their virtual console games to the new Nintendo console. I don’t know anything about whether people will be able to transfer WiiWare games. I do know that a new service was created similar to WiiWare.

* A “select group” Virtual Console games will be made available in HD (High Definition) for Project Cafe.

* Not all VC games will be made available in high definition. This is due to the money, time, and effort that would be required to convert each game to high definition. Also, not all classic games convert to high definition perfectly.

* Some SNES/Genesis games won’t ever get a high definition widescreen treatment because they turn into a blurry or pixilated mess when converted to widescreen high definition. This is because they weren’t originally designed with widescreen high definition television’s in mind.

* Nintendo has found a sneaky way to get you to rebuy games that you already bought on virtual console.

* Virtual console games are transferrable to Project Café. But if you want the high definition (HD) version of a Wii 1 virtual console game instead of the standard version you own now, you will have to pay full price for the high definition version.

* You will NOT receive a free upgrade from standard definition virtual console game that you bought on Wii 1 to a HD version of the same game. If you want HD version, you have to rebuy the game.

* Sega is getting ready to port some of their “Xbox Live Arcade” Genesis HD games (like Sonic) on Project Cafe’s virtual console service.

I'd so buy this shit if it were true

Nikkei seemingly confirms controller as a separate console, console release mid-2012

Odd timing and an incredibly odd decision from Ninty, if true (increasingly seems like it is). Only yesterday I was saying with dead certainty that they wouldn't load enough into a controller to make it standalone, because it would fuck over the 3DS and the overall pricing.

Dunno what to think about it, and that's why i find it intriguing.
Not to long until Nintendo's press conference either, im hyped.

Feels like we're getting closer and closer to the little "Black Box" that has all the worlds technology in one.

A huge 'leak' of possible specs and games:

http://mynintendonews.com/2011/06/05/nintendo-wii-2-huge-amount-of-nintendo-wii-2-project-cafe-information-supposedly-leaked/

Can't say I believe most of it, but we'll soon see!

Hardly read it, seemed like all the other "leaked info" we've gotten tbh.
Not saying it can't be true though, but at this point there's no point speculating as the unveil is in like 2 days.

This caught my attention though:

# Close sources say it’s as if Nintendo is in “damage control” with 3rd party developers.
# Nintendo is trying really hard to get 3rd parties on board to develop games and have offered incentives such as not releasing big-title Nintendo games in holiday seasons to compete against 3rd party titles.

Good to see they're trying if it's indeed true.

Yes, that and the tech specs hint at a pleasing, if surprising position. This would be a very powerful and very expensive machine.

I know it's all just conjecture, but I can hardly contain my excitement now. It's nice to dream. :p

I'm kinda excited for this years E3, I do wish the weather would get better.
