Even more news is leaking in about Nintendo's next console. We've learned that it's being called Project Cafe , and we got some scoops on how the controller works. It's a lot to take in, and it certainly seems like a different kind of console, but what do the editors think of all this?

Project Cafe? Unless it's going to serve me coffee, this is a pretty dumb name. That said, Nintendo definitely needs to move past the Wii branding. If they want to "recapture" the hardcore audience calling the new system Wii2 or whatever will be a bad step.This code name has me intrigued, and really curious. It's not as badass as the Wii's code name (Revolution), but it's definitely piqued my interests.I think it's hilarious. The worst codenames are those that give away what the actual project is all about. It obviously doesn't sound as cool as something like Revolution or Katana, but Nintendo may have chosen it for that very reason -- it's mundane and doesn't sound related to gaming if people overhear a conversation between two Nintendo employees sitting in a bar. Or a cafe. The other option is that Nintendo is riffing on the Starbucks philosophy of creating a "third place." Perhaps Nintendo wants to create the alternative to console and mobile gaming. Or it's back to the third pillar concept…Wouldn't it be cool if the "Project Cafe" codename hinted at the possibility of a gaming console and espresso machine rolled into one? Joking aside, the Wii was a colossal success commerically, no doubt, so Nintendo might do a little of both.I'm not crazy about the name Project Cafe. It makes me think of pretentious hipsters writing their "epic" novels at a coffee shop rather than a cool video game console.There's no sense getting bent out of shape over a codename -- especially from Nintendo. It won't be called Project Cafe, so it doesn't matter that it sounds like a McDonald's product. As powerful at the new console sounds, I'd drop the Wii branding. This sounds like a machine for gamers, and lots of gamers have no faith in the Wii brand. People like my mom are happy with their Wiis, so let'em be and give the rest of us something cool.The new controller sounds so... 2001. While including a touchscreen could be cool, I don't think very many games will be able support both it and the analog sticks, unless Nintendo plans to give us an extra hand as well.Since it's moving away from the Wii's motion controls, I think it's smart they're ditching the Wii branding, and I can't wait to find out more about this new control set-up and the different ways it can be utilized for gameplay.It's definitely interesting if this brings us one step closer to the promise of cloud gaming -- getting awesome graphics on a simple device. I am, however, a little worried about the cost of such a controller. We're already paying a high price for Bluetooth devices. Plus, as cool as the applications of a second screen are for, say, Madden, or quiz show games, you can count the game types that really need a second screen to function on one hand. But perhaps Nintendo is trying to change that?As for this rumored new controller, sounds to me like a dart was simply thrown at a board with "things people might want." It seems to reconcile wishes from disparate segments of the gaming populace, but the more things they add to this controller, though, the more likely the price would spike. The Wii smashed last generation by keeping the price for entry low.I don't care about a touch screen. It's another gimmick that distracts from what gamers really want: good games. In short, the only way I'll be interested in Nintendo's new console is if they are able to secure more third party titles or come up with some new and exciting franchises.Sounds effing expensive.
