The Hardware
According to an article on the French website 01net.com, which was later translated on the Gaming Age forums, a “very reliable” source claims to have inside information on the technology behind Nintendo’s next console. Codenamed “Project Cafe” internally, the console is expected to be revealed at E3 2011. The source suggests that the console will feature a custom IBM PowerPC CPU with three cores, an ATI GPU from the R700 family with a shader unit at version 4.1, and at least 512 MB of RAM. These specifications are comparable to the Xbox 360’s architecture, making porting games from the 360 to the new Nintendo console a simpler process.
Other sources indicate that the new console is more powerful than current-generation systems, but it is unclear if this refers only to the improved shader support mentioned earlier. Additionally, it has been reported that the new console will support full 1080p HD resolutions, which is great news for HDTV owners. The unit will also be fully backward-compatible with Wii software and is said to support all Wii peripherals. There are even plans to include GameCube backward compatibility.
The Controller

Reports suggest that the new Nintendo controller will feature a built-in screen. While there is some disagreement regarding whether the screen will be HD or not, it is confirmed that it will be a six-inch “one-touch” touchscreen, as opposed to a multi-touch screen. The controller has been compared to an “iPad with buttons” and will include more conventional inputs surrounding the touchscreen, such as a d-pad, L and R bumpers, triggers, and possibly more. Additionally, the controller will have a front-facing camera and motion controls. Notably, the Wii sensor bar has been integrated into the controller, eliminating the need for a separate device for Wii remote functions.
The Disc
Like previous Nintendo systems, the new console will be disc-based. There are reports suggesting that Nintendo is considering using Blu-ray as the system’s disc format.
The Future
While all the information provided is unconfirmed, multiple reports align on most of the leaked features and specifications of the new Nintendo console. It is highly likely that the unit will be revealed at the upcoming Nintendo E3 press conference, with a targeted release in 2012. According to the 01net source, there is still an undisclosed “big surprise” regarding the unit and its feature set.
We would like to emphasize that Nintendo has not made any official announcements regarding the new console. It is essential to approach these rumors with caution, as some of the claims presented may be inaccurate or distorted.
