The Console


The console will be called Current

Implausible to me. First it was Cafe, then Stream, now Current? Why all the 'water' based names? Is this stupid website humour again?

I
t can connect to multiplayer game rounds instantly, without you having to wait for a game to finish

Huh? You mean, like many existing online games? Like MMORPGs?

It updates while you play

Hope not.

The controller screens have physical feedback, and can simulate textures to some extent

Interesting concept, basically indicates a touch screen.

It looks like the Super Famicon

Considering how many different lists bring this point up, it might as well now be confirmed.

Wiimotes, balance boards etc. are all usable with the console

So... it's backwards compatible. Yes we know.

Wii Shop points carry over

Like the 3DS. Makes sense.

The patent for the controller (Posted by a different person than the rest of these rumors, not related and most likely fake)

It appears to not be region locked

Unfortunately, while this would be cool, I consider it not viable after their decision with the 3DS.

The Games


Mii Minigames are packaged into the console

Seems plausible. Like the 3DS again.

Current Mario Kart (That's Current for the console, not the current Mario Kart... you get it...)

Doubtable. I'd say, if the name was even remotely true, it'd be called 'Mario Kart Current', like the way the rest of the series names work.

Super Smash Bros. 4 will be presented at the E3

Plausible.

So will Endless Ocean...

Why does this come up so often? Did anyone actually care for this game?

...and Pikmin

Plausible.

Skyward Sword will NOT be ported to the console, but the backwards compatibility works flawlessly

Unsure on this.

New Kirby Game, not a sequel to Epic Yarn

Same or different to the upcoming Wii Kirby game?

Several other first party IPs

What ones?

A Zelda Collection for the 25th anniversary. It'll include The Wind Waker

Doubt it. Dunno, something seems odd about making Wind Waker the cut off point for the series collection.

Another Animal Crossing game

Possible.

"Some small, weird little RPG thing"

Vague much?

Another Kid Icarus to compliment the 3DS one

Would be cool.

A yet unnamed First Person Metroid game, not entirely focused on Samus

Metroid Prime Hunters 2? Sounds like it.

Nintendo's been holding back a bunch of downloadable games and will release them somewhere in the launch window of the new console

Such as what?

A new open world Mario game (More on this below)

Yeah! Awesome.

Another Donkey Kong Country title, probably from Retro games

Donkey Kong Country Forever confirmed. Donkey Kong Country and Diddy Kong set for the future, and will cause the series to have to be rebooted.
.
One of the new IPs "focuses on being a lighthearted post apocalypse [sic] set on the ocean"

A lighthearted apocalypse? How do you manage that? If Mario can't make the end of the world comical...

Dead Rising 2

Why? That game is currently ancient history.

Street Fighter 4 is getting a "Super" edition

Seems quite logical, considering we got a special one for the 3DS. Would explain the lack of a Wii version.

"Something that looked like Resident Evil 5"

Why? It's old now.

Silent Hill Downpour confirmed for the console

Okay, these water based names are just getting ridiculous now.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is not coming to the console, PC exclusive

Meh.

Suda 51 is working on a game for Current, but it's not No More Heroes but rather something about hunting demos

Demos? You mean demons I hope.

Some comic book games, including a Spiderman title

Why?

Another Shin Megami Tensei, possibly Persona 5 or Devil Summoner

No idea.

"Some mecha game"

Same

Trauma Center: Current Crisis is real

Okay, can we stop the bad 'Current' jokes now? It's making me disbelief this set of rumours the more times I hear it.

Tekken and Soul Calibur are also coming, Tekken might be Street Fighter vs Tekken

Cool.

GTA V is being announced, but probably not exclusive

Makes fair sense not being exclusive.

Crystal Chronicles is also coming, it's a prequel to the GC title

Why?

Yet another MGS game, this time you play as a girl

Dude, people hated it enough when Raiden was the main character. If this one doesn't involve Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid fans will be annoyed as hell.

A cyberpunk looking game, possibly Snatcher

No idea.

A new Gradius
Contra: Current C


Super Mario World 3

Open world, not hub based

Why and how? Is this a 3D game or a 2D one? Because an open world 3D game seems pretty hard to design.

Wario is making a return

Don't buy it, unfortunately. While I think Wario is awesome, Nintendo themselves don't care much for him in the mainstream games.

There is no gimmick like in Sunshine or Galaxy

Would be awesome if true, but part of me doubts it.

Long distance travel is done via Yoshi or warp pipes, similar to Paper Mario

So basically, Paper Mario except not an RPG and not paper? And I fear about the Yoshi thing, please say this is not like how the train was required in Spirit Tracks.

One of the showcased areas features a wrecked pirate ship with a "W" flag

Wario's not been a bad guy in too long for this to be plausible. Although it might be a Wario Land 1 reference, which would be cool...

I don't know, man. Half of those do actually seem possible, but based on the way others seem completely fake, I have no idea what to say about the full load. :/
 
NGamer once put out a fake rumor just to see what would happen, it turned out to the massive lollage of NGamer workers many thought it was true and it spread like hellfire XD
