It's perhaps the biggest news video gaming has had this year- Nintendo Japan today confirmed that a successor to the Wii is on its way in 2012, and will be revealed and playable at E3 in June! In their latest press statement, the company said: "We will show a playable model of the new system and announce more specifications at the E3 Expo, which will be held June 7-9, 2011, in Los Angeles". Currently dubbed 'Project Cafe', the new console is rumoured to be more powerful than the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, compatible with Wii titles and using a tablet controller with a screen (not unlike the iPad or Amazon Kindle). Nintendo are often first to release their next-generation console ahead of Microsoft and Sony, but whether the latter developers are planning 2013 or '14 releases for their next hardware is uncertain given the recent introduction of Kinect and Move. Unfortunately, the blog hiatus does not end until June 16th, but on that day rest assured all the big news and announcements from E3 can be found right here!
