'Wii 2' Codenamed 'Project Cafe'
New Nintendo console details surface.
New details have surfaced from yesterday's reports that Nintendo is set to unveil its newest console, codenamed "Project Cafe."
According to our sources, the new Nintendo controller will feature dual analog sticks in addition to standard d-pad and trigger buttons. It'll mirror a Gamecube controller in general function but not in specific form.
French website 01.net has published additional details (via Develop), that say the touch capable screen on the controller is 6 inches in size, but we were unable to confirm the accuracy of the report. Additional details about the console's hardware specs could also not be confirmed.
Players will actually be able to stream game content to the controller screen from the console. It's unclear at this time what type of content it will be, whether it's full games you can take with you on the go, mini-games or applications.
At E3 in June, our sources also said Nintendo will show first and third party titles at the event, but it's unsure if they'll be playable or only in video form.
Update: Sources now confirm to IGN the new Nintendo controller allows players to stream entire games to the device from the console, saying it's like a miniature television. The screen size on the controller is also confirmed to be six inches in size.

Alter Schwede! Wenn das wahr ist und man seine Spiele quasi im Controller speichern und mitnehmen kann, wird das die Konsole schlechthin. Dan haben nämlich sowohl die anderen Konsolen als auch die anderen Handheldhersteller ganz klar verloren!
Mal sehen was sich davon als wahr herausstellen wird...
