A list of games purported to be in development for Nintendo’s new console has popped up online, showing first and third party launch games, as well as those expected later on in the console’s life. If it’s true, then “Project Cafe†as the console’s currently being called might just end up being the perfect machine to balance out casual and core gaming. If it’s true, it might also end up upsetting quite a few people as a result of its interesting timed exclusives and extra content.
I find the list to be dubitable at best, but it’s an interesting look at what might come. Tag this is nothing but a rumour, because it really does come across as little more than a Nintendo fanboy’s wet dream. I guess we’ll find out at E3.
