Update: Andriasang has modified their original report regarding Project Cafe’s release date. Nikkei’s article states that it could ship in mid 2012, rather than in the latter half of the year (thanks Thomas N!).
All of the points below come from reputable Japanese outlet Nikkei. The details should still be treated as a rumor for now, but keep in mind that Nikkei has leaked a bunch of information in the past relating to Nintendo and their E3 conferences.
