The Console
Implausible to me. First it was Cafe, then Stream, now Current? Why all the 'water' based names? Is this stupid website humour again?
I
Huh? You mean, like many existing online games? Like MMORPGs?
Hope not.
Interesting concept, basically indicates a touch screen.
Considering how many different lists bring this point up, it might as well now be confirmed.
So... it's backwards compatible. Yes we know.
Like the 3DS. Makes sense.
Unfortunately, while this would be cool, I consider it not viable after their decision with the 3DS.
The Games
Seems plausible. Like the 3DS again.
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.
Plausible.
Why does this come up so often? Did anyone actually care for this game?
Plausible.
Unsure on this.
Same or different to the upcoming Wii Kirby game?
What ones?
Doubt it. Dunno, something seems odd about making Wind Waker the cut off point for the series collection.
Possible.
Vague much?
Would be cool.
Metroid Prime Hunters 2? Sounds like it.
Such as what?
Yeah! Awesome.
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.
.
A lighthearted apocalypse? How do you manage that? If Mario can't make the end of the world comical...

Why? That game is currently ancient history.
Seems quite logical, considering we got a special one for the 3DS. Would explain the lack of a Wii version.
Why? It's old now.
Okay, these water based names are just getting ridiculous now.
Meh.
Demos? You mean demons I hope.
Why?
No idea.
Same
Okay, can we stop the bad 'Current' jokes now? It's making me disbelief this set of rumours the more times I hear it.
Cool.
Makes fair sense not being exclusive.
Why?
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.
No idea.
Super Mario World 3
Why and how? Is this a 3D game or a 2D one? Because an open world 3D game seems pretty hard to design.
Don't buy it, unfortunately. While I think Wario is awesome, Nintendo themselves don't care much for him in the mainstream games.
Would be awesome if true, but part of me doubts it.
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.
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...

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)
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7914379.pdf
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...
