The More I Think about this the more it makes sense. It’s only short, because I’m off out for the day.

Nintendo Will release Zelda and Mario 128 on the next console; The Revolution.

Well, Nothing about Mario 128 has been unveiled, not even one measly screenshot – and the Moto man (can’t spell his name) doesn’t know which console to release it on. To me this is Nintendo’s way of telling us that this game will not come out for cube. So I can almost feel it in my bones that this title will be a release title for the new console. Wouldn’t that be great? It is the best move they could make.

Now, The wonderful Zelda. All we have seen is a small clip of what looks to be like a FMV. And they tell us its still in the early stages of development – so I don’t think they will be releasing this for the cube either, they’d be stupid to release this on the Cube towards the latter end when the Wave of the Next Gen Consoles in upon us. So I am also thinking that this could be a possible release title. Mario and Zelda as release titles could win a lot of buyers.

Also, it seems strange why Paper Mario has disappeared off the release list – but that’s as maybe.

Now, How would Nintendo break this horrible news to the Nintendo Fans? Simple – reduce all the games, and the future releases too. Metroid Prime Echoes? 20 quid. Donkey Konga 20 quid. As a gesture of good will have course. When I thought this through I checked Cube-Europe… and this is the honest truth. I came across this…

Which I can safely say backs up my statement.

So that’s my theory, a theory that makes more and more sense the more I think about it, and the morse i think about it the more i think Nintendo would be stupid not to make this move. But just think, Zelda and Mario on the same day for the new console – that would be fantastic. And considering the fact that most young kids are only allowed one console…
Well I’ll leave you to make your own conclusion.

What’s your view on all of this?

It depends what else you would have done.
But largely, yes.

Simple.

Mario 128 is a title, confirmed by Nintendo, which is largely shrouded with mystery. Nintendo have admitted to being working on it, and that it’ll offer something differed from your average title, but the platform it will be released on is unconfirmed. I see it coming out on Revolution and DS personally, but then again, where comes the next killer title on the Cube after Zelda 2?

I get the feeling there is still one big twist in the tail of Mario 128.

I don't think Nintendo would do that anyway, as it would detract from the 'must own' factor of each game, much better to release one at launch and the other at the first christmas.


Though I'd rather they did to be honest, because I think that's wrong. Having a Mario and Zelda game at launch would increase the amount of consoles sold in the first few months by about 50%, and 90% of those people are going to buy both games for it too.

The new Zelda is not on the Revolution, and it's obvious the trailer is not FMV. No doubt just another terrible rumour. They've said it's just a modified version of the Wind Waker engine, so the Cube should be able to handle it no problem.

Does look lovely though.

I think it's just another CubeEurope rumour that'll never come true.. dropping software prices would be very attractive but overall I don't see how this will be feasible. The "evidence" is just some Canadian website offering cheaper prices if you pre-order.

Mario 128 is almost certainly coming out on the Revolution, or N5 whatever. The lack of any news or media of it up until now kinda points that it is not anywhere near complete, and this means at this stage in the Cube's life, it probably will be released on it's successor. Zelda on the other hand is coming next year, to Gamecube. It'll most likely be out next Spring [Edit: I meant in Japan.. probably summer release for America and Autumn/Xmas for us], the build and engine look good, and I can't see Nintendo giving us a tantalising glimpse at their biggest title a month or two before revealing we won't get it this genaration.

Think about it, the N64 had one Mario platformer and two Zelda games. I think the Cube will be the same.
