We have rumors on the next Super Smash Bros., Pikmin 3 and a new game from Retro all being announced by Nintendo for Café
We have rumors on GTA V being announced at the Nintendo Conference.
Beyond Good & Evil is waiting in the wings and could likely see some revival on Café along with dozens, and I literally mean dozens of other 3rd party games that aren't coming out till later next year that could easily make the transistion into a Café title and would have never seen the light of day nor have even been considered for the Wii.
Rumor has it that 3rd parties have had Dev Kits since just after E3 of last year, if some of them haven't had it even sooner than that. With
news rumors like that, I'm not expecting some quick cash-in ports like we saw with the DS, Wii & 3DS. I'm expecting some quality launch titles, and even if they are multi-plat, Café could've likely been the lead platform or at the very least simultaneously developed by the Lead Team instead of as a catch-up side project by the B-team. We are talking about games from all major 3rd parties from every genre and probably some exclusives that take advantage of unique hardware too.
We have rumors of being able to Stream your game to your controller and wander around the house untethered to a television set unless you want to be. With hopes of being able to connect online and enjoy a majority of our games with friends and family with a competent online system to bring it all together... to bring us all together. Not to mention the Full Backwards Compatibility so that we can still enjoy the massive library some of us have already obtained with out having to keep the aging Wii connected to our main Television of choice.
We have rumors of a system that outclasses the current offering by a fair amount with functionality that combines the best of Wii, DS & PS360 experiences hoping to combine ALL audiences into one audience. A Nintendo audience. The best of motion controls, the best of touch controls and the best of all the 3rd parties have to offer with conventional controls and Full HD capable hardware to back it up.
This is the year of new hardware reveal. This is like the gamers Christmas season where you get all excited to see what all those presents are sitting under the Nintendo tree. They are just sitting there taunting you, all wrapped up in pretty paper. You try your best to sneak a peak and see whats under the wrapping. You check the trash and dirty laundry for receipts, You ask family and friends probing questions hoping that someone, anyone that knows something, will slip and let a secret slip just so that you have an idea of what is to come.
We are all waiting to see and that is why the HYPE builds. Lies have been told, speculation has been formulated, truths have slipped under the radar and/or dismissed as outright lies. But all of that is part of the fun leading up to E3 and that is the fuel that the HYPE TRAIN runs on. Will some of us be disappointed come Tuesday? Sure, but most of that some would have been disappointed no matter what. And they will still be just as excited to have something new to complain about as the rest of us will be to have something to be new to be excited about.
The HYPE TRAIN is already in motion and there is a seat for anyone that is willing to get on board. So put your cautions skepticism aside (Low Expectation Express is in a different thread) and come have a seat. There is no going back now because the next stop is E3!!
ALL ABOARD!!!!! Choo Choo!!!!
