Rumor: Swedish Publication Says Project Cafe Will be Named “Nintendo Feel”

Interesting tidbit coming straight from the Swedes: Nintendo’s final console name for Wii 2/Project Cafe will be Nintendo Feel, according to their inside sources that are close to Nintendo. Naturally the name “Feel” sounds almost as stupid as “Wii” did at first, so really it’s right up Nintendo’s alley. It naturally wont affect sales in any manner and overall it doesn’t really even matter what it’s called. Feel, Stream, Cafe, or Project Delta X… we’re still buying the system anyways. Hop inside for the full report.

We have already heard that Nintendo will develop a controller with built-in screen.

But at the same time, Nintendo Feel an experience you will not want to explain in words, but just put in the hands of the player. Which probably explains why Nintendo chose to have playable demos at E3, with in June, although the finished console not being launched until 2012.

The other juicy tidbit in there is the ability to convey the sense of touch, which yes, has actually been a technology that has been in research by other companies (seriously, you can google it if you’re interested). Naturally take this with a heavy grain of salt, because to implement any such tech would cause the price of the console to skyrocket.
