Project Cafe unit built based on rumored specs
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
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
What you’ve always wanted to know: Why Mario is a plump shape
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
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.”

n-Space revealing three 3DS titles at or before E3
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
This information comes from n-Space’s Dan O’Leary…
“We currently have three 3DS titles in development, one for 2011 and two for early 2012. All of them will be announced at or before E3 early next month. We’re very excited to share them with the world and hope that many of your readers will look forward to their release.”
Man, I really can’t wait to see what n-Space has done with the 3DS. I’d be surprised if at least one of the games wasn’t a shooter. It’ll also be interesting to see which publishers the company is working with.
