Through the system update scheduled for around the end of May, we will be enhancing the network services, including Nintendo eShop and Internet Browser. Since Nintendo eShop will work as the basis of various network services, we will be able to propose new services to users through "SpotPass." However, for the system update, we need to have consumers voluntarily go online with their Nintendo 3DS. We are planning to do some promotional activities in order to urge them to do so. More specifically, we will give a free download of "ExciteBike" as one of the "3D Classics" series during a certain period of time after the beginning of the system update. We would like to announce this widely and have as many people as possible update their hardware and start using Nintendo eShop. Concerning the Virtual Console software, we will begin with GameBoy and GameBoy Color software, and continue with this until we gradually realize the Virtual Console software for the other platforms." - Satoru Iwata

Confirmed
* Nintendo is working on a Wii successor, due out in 2012. This is a no-brainer as we’ve gotten an announcement straight from Nintendo. The story was originally broken by Game Informer, back when it was a rumor.
* “Cafe” will be playable at E3. And not “playable” in the sense that there’s simply a working unit on stage. Anyone who attends E3 2011 can get some time with the hardware, which should be very interesting.
Likely
* The system is codenamed “Project Cafe.” Based on recent evidence I don’t see why there is any doubt that this is the codename. IGN even says the name is verified by “multiple sources.” But I guess it hasn’t been outright confirmed.
* “Project Cafe” will be more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. This seems fairly obvious. The real question is how much more powerful will the new console be? Based on contradictions we’ve heard, it’s difficult to tell.
* Nintendo’s new controller design is more traditional, albeit incorporating a touch screen in the middle. This has come from a few major sites now, but I just hope it looks a lot nicer than the mockups we’ve seen.
* The system will be backwards compatible with GameCube and Wii. I don’t think there is any other source for this rumor. But I want it to be true, and it would make the jump to a new system easier, even if that is true for any system.
* Games are being developed for “Project Cafe.” The Wii struggled with 3rd-party support and based on what we’ve heard, they’re trying to fix this problem with the new hardware. Basically, there better be games in development.
Possible
* One of the actual product names being considered for “Project Cafe” is Stream. I hope this is true as changing the domain name again would be annoying. But so far this rumor has only come from IGN, and they admit it’s not set in stone.
* Rockstar and Nintendo are working together on amazing things. We’ve heard this a couple of times. And IGN’s stance is they haven’t heard any specific, but thinks it’d make business sense. Hopefully Nintendo can persuade Rockstar.
* Nintendo is going after the hardcore gamer market. As noted by IGN, this move would go against Nintendo’s philosophy to appeal to “everyone,” but at the very least it seems like they’re working to bring in the Xbox 360 and PS3 crowd.
Unlikely
* Retro Studios is working on Eternal Darkness. This rumor came from a source that is not particularly reliable. Plus, as noted by IGN, “going from Metroid to Donkey Kong to Eternal Darkness” is a little strange.
* The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is going to jump to Project Cafe. I thought this was going to happen at first, but it definitely does look like Skyward Sword is going to be the Wii’s last hurrah, which is probably for the best.


RPM Miis posing time or something



Hope at least a few of you remember me!
I'm the yurilicious combination of both of them. xD
- Retro Studios is not working on Eternal darkness 2 or Zelda
- Rareware and Nintendo have had discussions of working on the 3DS (!!!!)![]()
![]()
- the idea of working on a revamp of StarFox Adventures was discussed, but seems to have been shelved (awwwww!)
- Banjo-Kazooie on 3DS is not out of the question (!!!!)![]()
![]()
- much like Viva Pinata on DS, Microsoft thinks that brand extensions on DS could help them sell games on 360
- multiple third parties are working on ports of 360/PS3 games for Project Cafe, with one third party in particular porting a bunch of content
- Nintendo may consider letting the Metroid series cool for awhile after support for the franchise seems to be waning
- Nintendo thinks the Earthbound series makes more sense on portables, but that doesn't confirm anything in the works
- system is once again, more powerful than 360/PS3
I went with a slightly chibi-fied look on this one
I love it! ^oo^

- "It became difficult for developers to surprise customers with the current Wii. We will offer something new for home game systems."
- 3D will not be the main focus of the Wii successor
- Wii successor will not arrive until after April 2012

But I did have a fun little thought. Wouldn't it be a kick if we created an RPM Pokemon League?
