Your find was working fine, until that.
Edit: Oh! It doesn't work if it's https://www.warioworld.com/playstation/ probably because it had "default" in the url at first. Ahh.

No no. If you do https://www.warioworld.com/playstation/ it doesn't find anything.Hero of Legend said:
My find still works, the website fooled you:Hero of Legend said:

If you add "default.asp?page=", a 404 would only show up after you logged in.

No go! Nintendo Cafe it is?
Also tested:
dolphin = worked
revolution = worked
wii2 = nope
wiihd = nope
stwiim = nope
Edit: The fuck?

No?

Gamecube and DS are a no go either, strange, is Wii the only final name they use?

Of course it is, but it's still very much the codename. Cool find though!Hero of Legend said:

RVL and Century don't work, so that doesn't kill the possibility of CTR being Century.

I think HDMI is a given, what else could they use? Component doesn't support 1080p does it?

yea, but Wii works. as does revolution. I guess the wii one was a fluke then
"revolution" and "dolphin" don't work either. Make sure you have no "default.asp" in your URL. There's only one folder per platform, typically using the codename.Hero of Legend said:
https://www.warioworld.com/revolution/ -> 404
https://www.warioworld.com/dolphin/ -> 404

Weird, could've sworn I had it like that and they worked, I guess not then.
Was Wario World (that) formed when the Wii came out, as I don't see any GC links.

Anybody else think that in this day and age is is silly (and ignorant) to announce a console, handheld, software, etc. a YEAR (or longer) before it's release? Today you see twice as many advertisements and have twice the amount of companies fighting for your attention and money. Why reveal your product and have the hype through the roof, but yet you fail to capitalize with releasing said product almost a year later?
Take the 3DS for example. Hype for that thing was at unbelievable levels when E3 2010 was over. Almost every single gamer you talked to wanted it, and hype continued to build for a sizable time. But then the Holiday season came, Kinect/Move was released along with tons of compelling software for each system, and support continued to grow for Apple's handheld products. People want to spend money on big products at the holiday time, and those people who would of most likely bought a 3DS, spent it on something else.
Now March 27h comes by and hype has died down, some people don't even know it's launched yet. It's been almost a year since the revealing and honestly... it's kinda old news now for gamers. IPad 2 has been announced and released, and more compelling software is starting to release for the competitors. NGP has been announced, and hype has started to build for it. Yeah the 3DS had a good launch, but I can't help but think how well it could of done if it took advantage of the E3 hype and released sometime last Holiday season like Nintendo originally planned.
Nintendo announcing Wii 2 at this E3 and NOT releasing it this Holiday season would be a mistake (imo). If they don't have the software or finished hardware to release within that time frame, then don't announce it.

yea. I'm just saying there are many reasons. there are those who dislike the Wii mainly because of the pointer. he may have more info on the Cafe than we do, but without context, his comment doesn't mean much

So the odds of it being called Nintendo Cafe just went up massively, then. Wow.

Nah, just means the French got the Project name right. Seems the site lists them by either project name and/or official shortform.

Component supports 1080p just fine. Just not movies at 1080p because of stupid licensing agreements.

I've grown very used to calling it the Cafe. so much that whenever I mention the Wii's successor, I refer to it as the Cafe. "Nintendo Cafe" just roles off the tounge so well

I felt the same about Revolution for the Wii. Still sad Nintendo didn't just go with that name instead of Wii.
Oh god Monster Hunter would be GODLY on this thing! An always available and usable inventory/map/communications screen would make the choices with the controller completely worth it IMO. Add to that some nicely detailed graphics and (hopefully) true surround sound. I'd buy a dozen!lunchwithyuzo said:

For the people that think the screen is in the controller would you like something like this crude clamshell design?:
Fig. A: Just the touch screen at the face of the controller with the 2 thumbsticks. Plus at the front, 4 buttons (2 triggers + 2 bumpers). This is the less intimidating mode, for very simplified game input.
Fig. B: The controller clamshell opens and rotates in the bezel around the middle axis so the touch screen faces the user, reveling 4 face buttons and the D-pad. Plus all the thumbsticks and front triggers/bumpers accessible.
Fig. B (second possible case): If the screen is detachable theres no need for the rotating bezel.
Why the clamshell? Because i think with a 6'' touch screen, is the only way to keep the controller at a reasonable size. Another advantage is when open, the screen is closer to the user FOV, since its in front and angled. At the bottom and the sides the controller will be more "fat" and with ergonomic curves like a normal pad and not like a DS. Didn't consider a slide design because they are not very durable. But it might work also.
So i think the people making mock ups with the integrated screen could explore this possibility.
Independent of what Nintendo chooses, this seems really cool from my point of view.

Lol I remember on Nsider someone leaked the Revolution remote (it was between a few minutes and an hour) and it got removed by a mod and that was still before the reveal
maybe we have slightly less than 35 hours
lol
maybe we have slightly less than 35 hours
plus however long until E3

Nope. You need to start priming third-party developers to work on your system well in advance; once they start getting kits and development contracts, leaks will come out; announcing early helps keep this stuff under control. Nintendo has visibly already waited too long to formally announce this system even if it's not due out until November 2012.
Consoles aren't the same thing as consumer electronic products like an iPad that require no new software development, no new third-party partners, and no other ramp-up process before their release, and they're not going to be announced the same way as such products.
Hype on the 3DS didn't die down because time passed, hype died down because people found out about the excessive price, low battery life, and poor first six months of software.
And that suggests that 01net got their information from a developer with the kit, so their rough specs are likely accurate.Lonewolf_92 said:
As for where IGN got hint of the possible final name...hard to say. Maybe someone involved with Foxconn?
'Revolution' sounds like an old Sega machine. You can't sell that to soccer mums the way you can 'Wii'.Lonewolf_92 said:
I think time has revealed Wii to be a fantastic name, given Nintendo's strategy with that machine.
swerve said:Have *none*. It's completely likely that they say nothing *at all* and that will in no way be Nintendo letting us down, because they haven't promised anything.
I'll be happy if I get to see Rhythm Tengoku Wii.
If they were holding back they would have denied the rumors outright even if they were factual. But so far no direct quotes from any level at Nintendo? Way too suspicious.

Not now 01net confirmed the layout was something like a tablet/NGP crossover. Intimidation or buttonphobia is less of a factor thanks to all the people they sold a DS to. It will indeed be rather wide if the rumours are accurate, maybe 9". More than I was expecting.

So? When the clamshell is open it has 12 buttons, two thumbsticks plus a touch screen. When closed it has that tablet feeling and look, but you retain 4 triggers and 2 thumbsticks.Graphics Horse said:
