Project Café (Ook Wii 2, Wii HD, Nintendo Feel, of Nintendo Stream Genoemd) is de project naam voor Nintendo's Nieuwe console en opvolger van de Wii.^[1] De console is verwacht uit te komen in 2012 en zal worden laten zien en speelbaar op E3 2011, waar de specificaties van de console worden aangekondigd.^[2]

Achtergrond

In laat 2008, begon de speculatie over de opvolger van de wii. Initiële overtuigingen waren dat de nieuwe console een verbeterde versie van de Wii zou zijn, Genaamd de "Wii HD" en zou een high-definition video uitgang hebben met een Blu-ray Disc drive erin gebouwd met een release in 2011^[3][4] Echter later, heeft Nintendo President Satoru Iwata verklaard dat er "geen belangrijke reden" is om HD in een Wii console te bouwen, en dat zo'n soort toevoeging better is voor een opvolger.^[5] Game ontwerper Shigeru Miyamoto heeft ook uitgedrukt dat Nintendo geïnteresseerd is om te werken met HD, maar verduidelijkt dat Nintendo als eerst gefocust is op de gameplay^[6] In October 2009, Zei Miyamoto dat ze nog geen concrete plannen hebben voor een opvolger, maar wist dat een opvolger waarschijnlijk nog steeds gebruik zou maken van motion controls en verwacht dat de interface "compacter" en goedkoper zou zijn.^[7] Iwata heeft ook vermeld dat de opvolger van de wii misschien 3D-compatible zal zijn, maar concludeerde dat de gebruik van 3D televisie moet toenemen met 30%.^[8]

In 2010, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime commented that he felt "confident the Wii home entertainment console has a very long life in front of it" and declared that a successor would not be launched in the near future.^[9] At the E3 2010 presentation, Iwata revealed to the BBC that they would begin announcing a new console once Nintendo ran "out of ideas with the current hardware and cannot give users any more meaningful surprises with the technology [they] have".^[10] Later, at an investors meeting, he disclosed that they were "of course studying and developing the next console to Wii", but they were simultaneously keeping its concepts secret because it was "really important for [his] business to positively surprise people."^[11] Reggie Fils-Aime commented in a CNN article and claimed that Nintendo's next home console will not likely feature stereoscopic 3D, based on what 3D technology Nintendo has experimented with.^[12]

In April 2011, an unnamed source indicated that Nintendo was planning on unveiling the successor to the Wii during E3 2011, that would be capable of gameplay in HD resolutions^[13][14] and will be backward compatible with Wii software.^[15] It was also rumored that the console would feature an all new controller with a built in high-resolution screen.^[16]

The origin of the rumor for the codename (and many other details) was French technology publication 01net.^[17] 01net had previously revealed the technical specifications of Sony's Next Generation Portable before it was announced.^[18] Claims have been made that the new machine is significantly more powerful than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.^[15][19] It is likely that the new console will feature resolutions as high as 1080p. However, many sourcesSjabloon:Who doubt that it will feature 3D graphics like Nintendo's latest handheld, the Nintendo 3DS. 01net also claims to know some of the technical specifications of the new console (translation from Develop): "CPU is custom IBM PowerPC with three cores, GPU should be an ATI from the R700 family, with a shader unit at version 4.1. RAM should be at least 512 MB."^[20]

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.^[1] 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] SourcesSjabloon: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,^[1] 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]

Op 25 April, 2011, Nintendo released a statement officially announcing a system to succeed the Wii.^[2] They simultaneously announced that it would be released during 2012, and that playable console units would be present at E3 2011 (June 7–9).^[27] Speaking at an investor's conference, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata stated the Wii successor "will offer something new for home game systems."^[28] Iwata also confirmed that the successor to Wii will not launch in FY2012, meaning that it will release after April 2012.^[29]

Op 2 Mei, 2011, Swedish site Loading.se reported that the console's final name will be "Nintendo Feel." According to the article, the controller's touchscreen (and possibly the entire surface of the controller) will use haptic technology to allow players to feel in-game textures. The site also claims that the technology behind the Wii Vitality Sensor will become a key feature of Feel.^[30]

Op 3 Mei, 2011, Kotaku reported that Project Café will have 8 GB of flash-based memory on-board, with the assumed purpose of storing game saves, and will have up to 25 GB of content on game discs using a Nintendo-proprietary format system based on that of Blu-ray Discs.^[31]

Op 3 Juni, 2011, Nikkei issued a report confirming earlier rumors that the new console will feature a controller with a six inch touchscreen that will give tablet-like controls to games, as well as a rechargeable battery and a camera. The controller can also serve as a portable game machine. Nikkei says the system will be released in mid-2012.^[32]
