Project Cafe/Wii 2/Nintendo Stream client for FFXIV...

First, I know there isn't much we know about this system.
Second, the PS3 edition isn't even out yet.

But with the news coming out about the next Generation Nintendo, and if it's as powerful as rumored, I'd be interested in a port on that system...

Not knowing cost, development, or even if the SDK has been distributed to developers yet, I'm interested if any one else would like to see this happen.

Not a rush, as it will be a while before we know what this next system is, but the possibility is there, and I'd be very interested in what the screen on the controller would be used for, if in fact thats what the new system uses.

I'd like to see it on the NGP.

Oh wouldn't that be sweet! I didn't even think of that, but it should be powerful enough, the only issue would be typing, but building in canned text responses, as well as using an in game keyboard would take care of that...

I bet the battery life would be a pain.

i dont think this will ever happen
BUT i would love to use the NGP as a pad for my PS3 with extra features for FFXIV, map or other menus on NGP screen or something. Like the cool features you had on your DS when you played FF crystal chronicles on GC

I don’t like the ‘NGP’ name… makes me think of my old NGP (neo geo pocket) by SNK.

To me, Nintendo has been lame ever since release of the Gamecube.


I suppose grannies and little girls think otherwise.

With the Wii, no doubt, but if Nintendo is trying to capture the hardcore gamer with this next system it could be a whole new world... But we will have to wait and see what they show off at E3 this year.

Anyway, there system paid off with the Wii and now they might feel a little better about entering into the HD era.

Might be interesting.
Rumor has it the new console will have a stronger online system, so it's a possibility.

Wow I actually can agree with Belgian on something... I feel the same way because I use to love Nintendo until gamecube.
Hopefully they can step their game up next time.

two words: fuck no. nintendo doesn't care about online gameplay because its nasty and they want to keep a family friendly image.

YES! I really want to see this! Please use the touch screen in the controller for custom macros and skills that would be awesome!!!

Unless Nintendo changed their tune and will be getting series about oneline gameplay. Doubt it.

Or because they're secretly plotting to destroy all MMOs on the market by eventually releasing Hyrule Online.

Completely this. . .based off Nintendo's track record, their online service will be laughable and require friend codes. They're a joke in that arena, while MS and Sony have it down (relatively)

No way I'd want to play with someone using a portable, hand-held console. I can imagine the chaos it would cause to a simple party, let alone upcoming battle events.

I already had issues with a number of console players on ffxi, whining about how their consoles were lagging, didn't have keyboards, or simply found it too big an effort to put the controller down to type on the keyboard. Ended up more or less restricting my linkshell to pc-players later on.

Someone said touch screen. what could you possibly do with that? Craft? Fight squirrels?

Nintendo Rocks Know Your Roots

Nintendo has been continually improving upon their online capabilities; and with a system with more power than PS3 and the 360, I wholeheartedly /welcome FFXIV being on their next system. Square and the Final Fantasy series grew up with Nintendo and brought with them some of the most epic RPG's, and it deserves to have a numbered title again.

pokemon* Online

I do not want to collect the Friend code of everyone on the server to play with them ill pass.

hmmm i doubt it would happen showing how nintendo is more g and pg rated oriented now and wanting to be more happy family go lucky... and also I'm neither a granny nor a little girl and I loved the Wii console well atleast it and certain games

This +1

Nintendo has almost no support from 3rd party developers. So unless you want to play through Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid for the 9th time I don't see the point in owning one. Nintendo has been staying in the console market by selling people peripherals and gimmicks. The only game I like on my Wii is Monster Hunter.

P.S. That's nothing to do with the hand held market which Nintendo is still king of. But then again the 3DS sucks so maybe they will fail there soon too.

Either way, be it the Zelda franchise or Pokemon, Nintendo is sitting on a gold mine with that one.

As far as I'm concerned, FFXIV might as well stay on PC. Nintendo usually limits themselves in terms of hardware and local/internet connectivity, Sony is limited by their own tunnel vision when it comes to customer service, support, and satisfaction, and Microsoft sort of has the online thing down although as evidenced by trying to get FFXIV on their system, is hampered by their desire to keep everything locked down tighter than Ft. Knox.

Don't get me wrong, I think that the more people have a chance at playing games on different patterns the better, but the big three as it were have their own share of issues that might impede optimal experiences.

I'd be happy with it being on any console. PC gaming sucks.

Me too.

I'm not worried about Nintendo's friend code system as there's none of that for Monster Hunter 3 Tri.

And that's not a game for girls and grannies (to them I'd suggest Modern Warfare:pretend you're playing while a movie is playing around you). MH3Tri is a game for MEN who eat bloody beefs for dinner and don't cry like a wuss when all their progress for the last 45 minutes is stomped on by an instakill move from a building-sized monster =D

But the other 90% of the games are all Barbie playhouse and My little pony..

You know what'd be even better? If Nintendo merged the concept of a console and a PC desktop into a small console which can plug into any monitor, operates off of a remote/gamecube controller, and is friendly with Gamecube/Wii games and Windows 7 files -hinthintcoughcough- Oh, but I can pipedream. Still... I like Nintendo, and the Wii for that matter- it's just a shame that FFCC, MHTri, and Sam&Max were the main good examples of classic RPG/Adventure games, especially because of good attempts but bad executions like Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga.

Just got my 3DS recently and considering it only needs one code for all online games, I think it's safe to say cafe will be more open to online stuff like MMOs. It should be a good E3.

Yeah they would probably contract the research and development to Toshiba and then back out when they were almost done. Then we could have a new console from Toshiba and nintendo would push out another cartridge system. LOL

That is what I am thinking... Of course not knowing anything about the system, the idea that there could be that custom interface on the controller might make it easier for MMOs to be played on consoles, but I guess we'll know more here in a month. :)

With the interviews that are coming out from Iwata and co I'm hopeful. Like many of you, I got a Wii then let it sit on the shelf... Even last year, I thought that I would never get another Nintendo product again, however, knowing that as soon as they show it off, I'd be first in line... I'm apart of the problem.

Anyway, I'm really hoping Nintendo goes after the "hardcore" market, more to some degree, and by that, I hope they make it to where 3rd parties make lots of great games for the system. The big issue is that it's hard for 3rd parties to make money on the Wii, because most people who are interested in Hard core games, already own a PS3 or Xbox.

Perhaps they will change all of that, still...

Back to the topic at hand, with the power of the system, and the potential to have a custom interface on the controller (aka Keyboard, or touch skills/macros) I'm hoping for a Port to the system, and hoping the system has a lot of power to really make this game look good.

If it's true the cafè it's potent like xbox and ps3, i'm willing to see ffxiv there. Afterall, xbox don't want it, so it can be possible

Yeah. I'm going to buy it. But I'm sure it'ls going to spend most of it's time as a paperweight. They are aiming to make it comparable in power to a PS3 while the Sony and Xbox guys are already working on their next-gen systems....

Very true, if they just make it comparable then yes, I can see it having another short life, as everyone will move to PS4/Xbox720 or whatever...

Nintendo needs to pump in the hardware and online support this time around if they want to get and keep third party support. Still, for them it comes down to a cost issue, and not having seen the system, or knowing what it's capable of, I can only speculate on what I hope they are going to do.
