Nintendo’s reason for moving on from Wii and creating Project Cafe
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
This information comes from Satoru Iwata…
“It became difficult for developers to surprise customers with the current Wii.”
Surprises have always been a big deal for Nintendo. This makes me wonder what surprises they have in store for Project Cafe.

A hint that Project Cafe is the codename for Nintendo’s next console
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Update: Nintendo has officially confirmed that they are working on the Wii’s successor. You can check out a couple of details here.
WarioWorld is a website created for developers/publishers working on Nintendo platforms. It’s possible to detect some of the folders that exist on the site, as “wii”, “nitro” and “ctr” all direct you to the homepage. Understandably, bogus names will only lead to a 404 area.
So it’s interesting that “cafe” seems to work. This could be a small indication that Nintendo’s next console is indeed codenamed “Project Cafe.” Because Nitro is accessible, it’s clear that codenames are accepted. It probably would have been more helpful had someone discovered the “cafe” URL prior to the initial rumors, but this is still a very interesting find.
