I for one am a Nintendo fag, so of course i'm excited by the prospect of a new Nintendo home console. After a month or so of speculation Nintendo have announced they will be unveiling their new console at this years E3.
Not much is known about this yet but the first rumours popped up on a French website, 01net, who also broke the first accurate information of the new Sony handheld, the NGP, weeks before it was announced.
They have referred to the console as using the codename "Project Cafe". Since then, images and links over at Nintendo's development tool website warioworld.com have backed up this wording
With their authenticity and reputation being at a high, here are the other details the french website has released regarding the console as well as some others that have been confirmed by devs:
I know their isn't much Nintendo love in this forum but i'm making this anyway, and even if I have to have conversations with myself, it's better than talking to some of you shunters, i'm looking at you barn!!

Project Cafe
- Possible Console Name "Stream"

- graphics capabilities significantly superior to those of the 360 and PS3.
- Will support 1080p and 3d stereoscopic visuals
- custom IBM PowerPC CPU with three cores
- RAM: unknown. 01net speculates: It would be logical that it is a unified RAM, like the 360, with a minimum of 512 MB
- Graphics processor: AMD (ATI) - probably a series R700, with a shader (for managing the effects) more recent than the Xbox 360 (probably version 4.1).

- Controllers are clients, all processing is done on the console then streamed in HQ with no lag
- Another Surprise feature
- To be revealed at E3
- Launch in June 2012 (console could be ready in October but Nintendo are reported to be toying with the idea of holding back the launch to allow quality launch line up to be built and have a huge wealth of consoles for sale)
- Rockstar among 1st to recieve SDK's and have a game planned for launch
- Controller Mockup below is the closest to actual controller according to their source "looks like a close cousin of the uDraw Tablet"
I know their isn't much Nintendo love in this forum but i'm making this anyway, and even if I have to have conversations with myself, it's better than talking to some of you shunters, i'm looking at you barn!!
