Topic: Leaked Project Café footage? (EDIT: Confirmed to be FAKE!)

the picture of the system does line up with a "leaked" photo console, i vote real!

well what else would they plan their fake documents on?

Fake-O-meter isn't bleeping... Hmmmmm.... Not quite sure...
I love how the controler looks, but will wiimotes still work as another option? I would sooner not discard my wiimote+s. My only worry is the price. I can't save up for 3DS games and the wii2 at the same time! especialy with $60 controlers.

Fake. Seriously. The screen on that controller appears to be outputting better graphics than a 3DS. Whilst I'm not arguing that this isn't technically viable, please for a second consider the hilariously lacking business sense behind putting a console out where extra controllers would set you back the kind of price you'd usually spend on a handheld console. Seriously they'd be like £90 - £130 a time ($145 - $210). It also appears to be about as ergonomic as a potato, you'd need thumbs like Cthulu's tentacles to reach the +, Home and - buttons.

This looks shop--I mean, that's basically IGN's mock-up of the Project Cafe controller with totally ridiculous visuals. Not buying it.

The controller isn't producing the visuals, it's just displaying them via the stream function.

I'm pretty sure its fake (70% sure).

Which would still require a higher or equal resolution to the 3DS's screens. And the controller has to be able to receive and process stream data extremely quickly to display it on the screen (we're talking streaming video here, effectively, not a few bytes of Mii data). Which means it has internal memory and some kind of CPU.

Oh and also, if the console is streaming them, then it means the console is rendering four images at once, and the image on the TV. Presuming the controller displays are not all identical to what's on the TV, because that would be completely pointless. The horsepower it would have to have to do that would be insane.

@Corbs Sorry to sound ignorant, but I haven't been following the Project Cafe rumors very closely: then what's the point?

the console itself processes all of the images that are for the controller screen and "Stream"s them to the controller, like the Wii Remote's speaker.

I don't doubt that it will have some type of CPU inside of it, but not one nearly as complicated or expensive as a DS or 3DS system. And once again, much of this is still speculation, but if this console does what Nintendo has said it will do, the controllers might very well be rather expensive by today's standards. We'll just have to wait and see.

I don't know where the 'Project Cafe' title derives from, but the other name we are hearing is 'Stream', and if this video is true, it looks like the console streams the image output directly to the controller. My guess is that the console doesn't even utilize a TV, because with the console doing all the work and sending the image to the controller itself, it could create much higher quality visuals than the 3DS and/or Wii in a handheld form. Basically creating a handheld/console gaming experience all-in-one, and this is something that I can definitely see Nintendo doing, but do remember that this is all me playing hypothetical guessing games - we will know for sure in a few short weeks.

Now that would be insane. But I like it!

Holy crap you're on to something.

The biggest rule about the internet:
Don't always believe everything you see on the internet.

we need a certain plumber to fix this leak

I believe Nintendo said the biggest rule about the internet is that no one wants to play games over it.

@turtlelink I think that little idea in my head could have some possibility. We have been seeing these internet game-streaming companies trying to surface to eliminate consoles, but what if the console streamed the game to a HD controller? I think the controllers would be expensive of course, but it would definitely be something new.

Ugh, I hate all of these rumors!
HURRY UP E3!!!

(would be funny if it turns out there was no console to begin with. xD)
