Cafe is going to be awesome - The Official Thread

[radishhead]

As a wise man once said, "Cafe doom threads are getting lame". We may never find the man who said that, but the least that we can do is follow his advice and make the Nintendo Discussion board a less depressing place. I ask you all to calm your minds, release the feelings of hate and fear that are chaining you down, and embrace the brilliance that is known to us as "Nintendo Cafe".

We all know that if Nintendo follows the path of the Gamecube, they'll fail to attract the mainstream gamers that made the Wii such an outstanding success. If they follow the path of the Wii, they may find themselves in a position where the "core" refuse to buy their product, and the mainstream do not wish to rebuy another games console.

However, I feel that Nintendo is going to do neither of these things. They are going to go down a route that I have called the "Cafe path". By doing this, they secure many 3rd party developers, who have realised that it is no longer economically viable to ignore one of the "big three" when developing their games. This will hopefully secure the "core" gamers. However, they will show us something brilliant that we couldn't predict beforehand that will make the Cafe seem very different to the Wii, and it will be this moment of innovation that allows Nintendo to gain continued support of the mainstream gamers.

As you can see, the Cafe will be a console where both "core" and mainstream gamers can game together in harmony. The Cafe will have one of the largest and most diverse game libraries of any console in history, and will be recognised as the console to truely bring gaming to the next generation.
