Why Project Cafe is so exciting

With Nintendo’s current console declared lame by many, it’s about time they stepped it up a notch. Through the countless previews I’ve read, I can say that Nintendo is definitely stepping up its game.

First, Nintendo revealed the 3DS, which became the company’s best day-one selling handheld of all time. It comes to no surprise to me though, because Nintendo has always been about innovation. A handheld with no-glasses 3D? Yeah, that’s the future. Now, with Project Cafe, the company seems to be going all out and taking away from all of the best console aspects.

Well, if they step away from the kiddy games, like mario, pokemon, and all the other gimmics, they might actually become a respected developer again. I doubt they well though; nintendo is all about the money now

EDIT: ahhh, 360 is known as the FPS and RPG console. One little add on that targets females and children is hardly going to change the 360's mainly adult targeted games

Cosmit5501d ago

Hmmm all I have to say to you sir is *KINECT!* ;)

Nugan5501d ago

My god man, what are you talking about?

Because Nintendo was only a respected developer before they produced Mario games? So, what, when they were making trading cards?

And Microsoft isn't "all about the money?"

And Mario and Pokemon are "gimmics" [sic]? Why?

And the 360 is an RPG console?

Are you, by any chance, a visitor from a parallel universe?

HeavenlySnipes5501d ago

I don't see them making new grown up mature titles like KZ, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake etc..

They have been knownfor Zelda, Kirby, Mario etc.. Not really mature themed games and aimed at younger audiences. Lets see if they come out with entirely new IPs.

krazykombatant5501d ago

You grew up Nintendo doesn't. Nintendo has been here just because you no longer fancy games like Mario and Zelda doesn't mean they aren't a good dev. We grew up with this guys and I still play nintendo games and enjoy them more than most of my games on my 360.

HeavenlySnipes5501d ago

But making a new console for HD high res Zelda and Mario games? Maybe COD and BF will actually be quality on their system now but their first party games need to evolve (Pokemon oun) in order for the franchise to move foward. They need to develop a more mature side to their name.

The main reason the Wii sold well is because of the motion control, I personally don't think people flocked to get it because of the games. That's why I'm saying them making a powerful new console won't be smart unless they get good games for it. If the console is expensive, then why get get it if its just Mario and Zelda all over again?

N4g_null5501d ago

Heavenlysnipes you havnt played the new fatal frame, sin and punishment 2, other m, xeno blade, golden eye, Mario 5, Last story, dynamic slash, Mario kart, brawl bros, dkreturns, metroid prime, Zelda tp, excite truck, new punch out, all are nintendo made or backed games.

Then you have pans tower coming, then 3rd games like red steel 2, no more Heros 1 and 2, the samurai showdown collection guilty gear and t vs capcom. Blast works, demon blade, tenchu, monster hunter, ff chron, bman online love that game.

That's a fun list to me.

Then you have like two casuals games wi sport fit and resorts that are even more hardcore than the hd casual games and they sold more.

Why does resort have wave race and pilot wings in it and the other don't?

Alen wake isn't even better than the wii make of res evil 4 and you know it. Bwii is actually a deeper online game than kz but your not hardcore enough to know that. The stuff the online mags pump is more like lamecore.

Blazeblue is the best hardcore game on hd consoles right now every thing else is hype. Your games are not impressive and your not hardcore your a hype cheerleader. Heavy rain isn't even hardcore it's a choose your own adventure how is it challenging? We are talking about games here not mood adjusters or interactive story books or spam feats.

MoOkS wants to play some kinectimals, Kinect Joy Ride and then Kinect Adventures. Maybe one day he can play with Milo.

Shok5501d ago

If you people think Mario and Zelda are so kiddy, then you have a lot of growing up to do.

Theyellowflash305500d ago

To tell the truth @MoOkS Pokemon is a game that appeals to many more people than kids. Its actually has more strategy and depth than any first person shooter. If you care to look it up Ivs, Evs, Nature breeding, egg moves, and status effects on Pokemon there is quite a layer that most people like yourself have no clue about.

Now on to Mario. FPS are easy. Mario Galaxy is not. Try to get all the stars in Mario Galaxy 1 and 2. I will assure you, you will fail more times than you can even imagine. Mario just looks kiddy its not a kiddy game

TacoTaru5500d ago

Please please please keep them away from the blight of FPS games. Please no FPS that attract the hoards of "fill in your own derogative" that play those games.
We have enough of those games and platforms for them.

soren5499d ago

Cosmit5501d ago

I'm excited to see what direction they will take with Project Cafe.

gameguru5501d ago

hope they release it in early 2012

GameGambits5501d ago

I'm excited for this, but I feel it will undermine the impact of a new Zelda game. I almost wish they'd just make it a launch title for the new system, and update everything they can if possible with the extra time given.

N4g_null5501d ago

Zelda well sell better because it can be played on the snes2 and up scaled. Thus it won't need a new version. The sales of the wii and wii two can then be combined.

As for the comment above as to why does the kiddy games of nintendo need hd? Well you'll see come e3. They never should gave nintendo more power!

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi73d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure72d ago (Edited 72d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer73d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot73d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno73d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay73d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno72d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK72d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
