Gather! Kirby will arrive in Japan on July 7th for ¥3,800. Hopefully North America/Europe will receive release dates (well, an announcement would come first I suppose…) at E3.

So, this is rather interesting. IGN has “built” Project Cafe. I know, that probably doesn’t make much sense… But they were able to create the hardware using specifications provided by sources and PC components comparable to the ones Nintendo will apparently use in their own console.

It’s definitely a rough idea of what Project Cafe will actually turn out to be – and Nintendo hasn’t, of course, confirmed any hardware rumors – but the results are very interesting (see the video and images below).

Components

CPU: 3.2GHz Triple Core AMD Athlon II X3 450
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 4850 GPU with 1GBs of VRAM
Motherboard: BIOSTAR A780L3L Micro ATX
RAM: 2GBs of Kingston DDR3
Power Supply: Rosewill RV350 ATX 1.3
Hard Drive: 80GB WD Caviar Blue 7200RPM

Through the many interviews of Iwata Asks, we’ve found out some very interesting things about Mario. We’ve learned about plans for a rifle, beam gun, and rocket in the original Super Mario Bros., heard why Shigeru Miyamoto included coins in the game, and received a ton of other interesting tidbits.

The latest edition of Iwata Asks focuses on Steel Diver, but Satoru Iwata, Miyamoto, and other members of the development team couldn’t resist bringing up Mario in the conversation. Miyamoto happened to discuss why Mario has a plump shape. He said:

“The reason Mario is a plump shape is because gaming devices at that time could only read collisions between square boxes, not because I wanted to make him cute. His design turned out like that because I adjusted for the capabilities of the gaming device of the day. For example, resolution was low, so I made his face big. But today’s game consoles can handle collisions with round or irregular shapes.”

For the full interview, which actually does discuss Steel Diver, click here.
