Could be for the PS4

Considering it's for a Zumba Fitness title, I wouldn't be all that disappointed hehehe...

[merman1974]

Sounds like it means for the Wii 2 to me... remember, Nintendo's announcement was that it wasn't included in the financial projections for the next year, but other hints were strong that it would launch in 2012.

These are supposedly some spycam pics of Project Cafe game screens. I'd think they'd be hard to fake, these might be real...

[Shane R. Monroe]

Shame they aren't big enough to make any sort of determination of the graphic detail.

A lot about this list seems authentic--like the screenshots of Pikmin 3 and Endless Ocean 3 we've already seen. Well, just a few more weeks to go until E3...

[alexjlopez]

A ton of "timed exclusive" titles in there from third parties--big ones like Bioshock Infinite, Madden 2013, and Grand Theft Auto 5...

Legend of Paper Zelda FTW! Oh, and there's your Ridge Racer, Worknman! hehehe....

[Shane R. Monroe]

Wow, GTA as a timed exclusive is actually HUGE.

[nazzar]

Absolutely, any GTA game is going to bring in a bunch of gamers let alone the fact it's a timed exclusive. If I remember correctly the PS2 had the GTA games as timed exclusives.
Looks like a dreamy line up that's for sure.

[alexjlopez]

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot pretty much confirms that Project Cafe will be (at the very least) powerful enough to run the games they make for 360/PS3.

"The platform Nintendo is coming with is really a fantastic platform. We think it will be extremely successful. What we see is that we will be able to leverage a lot of the work we do for Xbox 360 and PS3 while we create games for the platform. So we will not have to redo completely the games that we create. We'll be able to use all the capacity the console is giving but also use all the work we do for the other platforms."

That line about "use all the capacity the console is giving but also use all the work we do for the other platforms" might even imply it's more powerful--if you interpret that "capacity" to mean something that 360/PS3 doesn't offer...

[Nectar]

There's no way Nintendo can get a timed exclusive from every AAA franchise. What are Xbox360 and PS3 owners going to play when this is released?
