So Nintendo fans are getting a new system. Release, according to IGN, is slated for April 2012. Currently the new console project is known as Project Café. There is also speculation that it will be known as the Nintendo Stream upon its release. I was all set to write a piece about what Nintendo fans should get in a new console, based on an article IGN put out a few days ago that addressed a storm of rumors about the new system. That article can be seen here: http://wii.ign.com/articles/116/1164332p1.html.
I was going to talk about controllers, Wiimote compatibility, hardware design, and the opportunity that Nintendo has to get this right and blow Xbox and Playstation out of the water. Based on a more recent article just put out by IGN (http://wii.ign.com/articles/113/1135489p1.html?RSSwhen2011-04-27_184200&RSSid=1135489&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ignfeeds%2Fwii+%28IGN+Wii%29), it appears that Nintendo does, in fact, know what they are doing and wants to get it right.
So……at this point, all that is left to me is to voice my desire to see at least one hard-core game released with the new console, either by Nintendo or a third party developer. More than likely, Nintendo will release a Nintendo game with the console, but I am afraid, as good as they can be and have been, that the game will lean more towards a family friendly game approach. What I, and many Nintendo fans would love to see, is a hard-core game that maximizes the power of the new console, to show the world what we Nintendo fans have known for years, and that is that Nintendo is the way to go. As a Nintendo fan, I would love to see Nintendo leave Xbox in the dust with the release of a beast of a hard-core game upon the release of its new console. Then all of us in Nintendo Land can say……"Na-na-na-na-na-na."
