Nintendo's New Console "Project Cafe"

On June 7, 2011, Nintendo Plans to announce and display a new console called the 'Project Cafe'. According to IGN the Nintendo the new console will "out perform the PlayStation 3's NVIDIA 7800GTX-based processor. Similar to the Xbox 360, the new Nintendo system's CPU will be a custom-built triple-core IBM PowerPC chipset, but the clocking speeds will be faster."






Supposedly, the system will support 1080p output with the potential for stereoscopic 3D as well, granting it the additional nickname "Wii HD". Price-wise, Project Cafe is predicted to retail for between $350 and $400. 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. Players will actually be able to stream game content to the controller screen from the console. No information was given on the type of content it will be:  full games you can take with you on the go, mini-games or applications.
