An unnamed source tellsKotakuthat Nintendo’s upcoming console, codenamed Project Cafe, will not have a hard drive. Instead,it will feature 8 gigabytes of on-board flash-based memory, and that will likely be used for game storage. That’s not a lot of storage, but it’s far more than the Wii offers. Beyond this, the system is also said to support saving to SD memory cards. Of course, Nintendo is not commenting on this.
It seems that the new disc format for Project Cafe will hold 25GB of data. That’s huge! There’s no copying of your games to local storage with discs of this size.
Mix these rumors up withprevious onesthat mention HD graphics, crazy controllers with screens on them and laser beams and whatnot, and you’ve got a crazy game system that’s hard to imagine. I can’t wait for E3.
