1.- This image is a newly leaked retailer listing. As you’ll notice with the highlighted portion there is a listing for “Super Mario Wii 2.” Now, this could either be one of two things (if the list is legitimate and accurate, that is):

1. A last hurrah for the Wii in the form of a Super Mario game.
2. The first game we know is coming to Project Café.

…it’s really just a matter of how you interpret the name. It’s either a second Super Mario game, as in “Super Mario Wii 2,” or the title could mean “Super Mario for Wii 2.”

Check after the break for more!

The folks at NeoGAF seem to agree that this could be a New Super Mario Bros. game, but aren’t sure about what platform it’s being designed for, and the release date doesn’t mean a whole lot because every release date is a placeholder.

But it was just a day ago where CVG said that:

Super Mario 3DS won’t be the only new Mario title to be shown off in Los Angeles.

…so maybe this is what they were talking about?

2.- GUN, the largest consultancy firm dedicated to gaming, has told online gaming publication Industry Gamers that Nintendo will not be able to achieve the same level of success that they had with the Wii. GNU claim that Nintendo simply will not be able to capture the same market that engaged in the Wii phenomenon. Do you think Nintendo can achieve the same level of interest with Project Cafe as it did with the Wii?

“The thing is, Nintendo has to convince third parties to put their best hardcore games on this new platform or else it will just be a disappointing Wii 2,” says Dan Hsu, former EGM Editor-in-Chief, GUN consultant and co-founder of Bitmob.

“If Project Cafe can secure superior versions of Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto, for example, then the core gamers will get on board. From there, it’ll be easy to convince the casual consumers to get on the bandwagon as well. Problem is Nintendo’s platforms haven’t been great for hardcore third-party titles for quite some time now.”

“Judging from the controller prototypes that we’ve seen so far, I don’t think Nintendo’s trying to replicate the Wii’s casual-market success with Project Cafe – and if it is, I’m worried,” comments Demian Linn, another consultant for GUN and co-founder of Bitmob.

“Rather, this looks like an attempt to create a console that bridges this generation and the next-gen Xbox and PlayStation; with the hope that Cafe’s install base will be large enough when those new boxes launch those publishers will keep Cafe as the lead platform and port titles to the other hardware”

“If Nintendo wants to continue to show positive growth in the causal market, I think they need to allow for the free-to-play model within their marketplace,” notes Wes Keltner, co-founder of GUN.   “They don’t have to rely on big publishers like EA to make this happen.”

“This could generate a very unique opportunity for titles from the indie dev crowd via Wii-ware.  The free-to-play model is showing a phenomenal growth curve both in participation from gamers and revenue for publishers.  If Nintendo passes on this opportunity, it would be a huge missed opportunity for ‘Project Cafe’.”

 3.- Controversial industry Analyst Michael Pachter isn’t too impressed by the variety of titles we will see at E3 next week. He believes that there’s going to be too many generic shooters and not enough originality coming from software developers. 

Thankfully he believes Nintendo will change all that and add some well needed innovation into video games. What do you think?

“You’re going to play [simulation] games and shooter games and that’s all the choice you’re going to get.”

“It’s sad. I think [developers] see 30 million Call of Duty, Medal of Honor or Battlefield purchases every year and think, ‘My God, this genre’s really huge, I gotta have a piece of it.’ It’s too bad that Nintendo’s where they are, because they’re the guys that do keep it fresh. They always have creative non-shooter games that are fun.”

1.- Esta imagen es de un filtrado reporte de juegos que entrarán en una tienda. Si la información proporcionada es correcta, ésto puede significar una de dos cosas:

1. Un último suspiro de la Wii, que cierra con un juego de Super Mario.
2. El primer juego que SABEMOS que llegará a Project Café.

…depende de como interpretes el nombre. Es o un juego de Super Mario nuevo, como "Super Mario Wii 2", o un juego para algo nuevo, como "Super Mario para Wii 2".

La gente que trabaja en NeoGAF no saben exactamente a qué consola pertenece.

Pero hace un par de días se dijo que:

Super Mario 3DS no será el único juego de Mario que se enseñará en Los Ángeles.

¿A lo mejor de esto hablaban?

2.- GUN ha dicho a la publicación online Industry Gamers, que la Nueva Consola de Nintendo no tendrá el mismo éxito que la Nintendo Wii. Creen que Nintendo no será capaz de atraer la misma atención ni al mismo público que con la Wii. ¿Tú qué crees?

 3.- El Analista de la Controversial industry Michael Pachter no está muy impresionado sobre los títulos que veremos en el E3 de la próxima semana. Cree que serán todos genéricos y que no habrá realmente nada nuevo. 

Menos mal que cree que Nintendo añadirá ese factor de diversión y diversidad al asunto. ¿Tú qué opinas?

“Vas a jugar juegos de simulación y de tiros en E3, y eso es todo lo que va a haber.”

“Da pena. Creo que los diseñadores ven que Call of Duty consigue vender 30,000,000 de copias, y dicen 'Wow, ese género da mucho dinero, vamos a hacerlo.' Es una pena que Nintendo esté donde esté, porque son los que de verdad añaden ese factor de innovación. Siempre tienen juegos creativos, que no son shooters, y divertidos.”
