We already told you about the “Cafe” folder on Nintendo’s developers/publishers site, though look what was uncovered on the same domain…
There’s no denying that the “Project Cafe” codename is picking up steam. It definitely sounds like that might be the real deal.
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.
Thanks to Jake for the tip!

Dengeki Nintendo will be pulling back the curtain on a brand new Pokemon game next month. The magazine teased the announcement – which is set for May 21 – in their latest issue. It isn’t clear if the title is in development for the Wii or 3DS, nor do we know if it’s a spinoff or something more significant. We’ll bring you any information we come across on the 21st, though there is some speculation that CoroCoro will leak details early.
