The most recent reports Game Informer is hearing, just two days before the show? It's possible the final name will be just a single word that everyone is already familiar with. Nintendo.

Nintendo can own E3 this year. I don't know if they will or if I would even enjoy that, but it's hard to compete with a new console announcement. MS seems to have bet on Kinect last year. I think Sony used Move as a stop ga and will anounce new console next year...unless they pull off a real shocker and announce it this week.

The question for me is can Nintendo pull off something innovative, but learn from the gaming mistakes of the Wii. I am okay if it isn't all core type games, but I want something that is more fun than a bunch of shovelware mini-games. It would be nice if they could somehow turn that 3DS I just purchased into a controller for the new system.

Project Cafe Touchscreen Controller Confirmed

Quote:

After months of speculation regarding the specifics of Nintendo's next console, codenamed Project Cafe, we finally have confirmation as to the nature of the controller. According to Japanese site Nikkei, Project Cafe's controller will be sporting a six-inch touch screen. It will also come with a built-in camera and rechargeable battery and will allow users tablet-like control of games. The site also stated that the console should drop in mid-2012. This is only the first of what should be a flood of details coming out of E3 regarding the Wii's successor. More details will most certainly come out of Nintendo's E3 conference Tuesday, so stay tuned to IGN's Wii page for all the latest. In the meantime, refresh yourself on everything we know about Project Cafe.. Now that a touch screen is confirmed for Project Cafe, how do you think Nintendo will use this feature? What information do you expect to come out of their E3 press conference? Let us know in the comments section below!

Did anyone see the mock up for the new Nintendo controller? What the hell is a mini screen doing on there?

After the MS conference, this is Nintendo's chance to shine and somehow they will screw it up. LOL!

Imo, with a new console to show off, they should own this years E3. If they don't then they have failed in all honesty.

First it was rumored to be the Stream, now it's the Beem? LOL They need to hire someone to name systems better.

[Cyros]

What places will be streaming?
