'Nintendo' is top contender for Wii 2 replacement
The replacement for the current Nintendo Wii may simply be called Nintendo, according to SlashGear. The new console will be revealed at the E3 expo on Tuesday, June 7 and goes by the Project Café moniker thus far. Other possible but unofficial names for the device could include Wii 2 or Wii HD, the latter to reinforce the system's ability to play back HD content, be it movies or games.
The other believed unique feature of the console is that its controller will have a built-in 6-inch touchscreen, camera and own internal power source. This would also let it function as a standalone gaming device.
Despite the expected announcement tomorrow, the system isn't expected to go on sale until mid 2012.
