Mario Sunshine (title may change) is the sequel to Mario 64. Mario was seen running along a rooftop, and through a tropical area, with some kind of glass 'thing' on his back!
Apparently it's the best looking game so far, and it's scheduled for a Summer 2002 japan launch.
Zelda apparently has a more cartoony look than previously, using a cell-shading technique previously seen on the Dreamcasts Jet Set Radio.
It's directed by the same guy that did Majora's Mask, so expect a dark storyline.
This one's due for Christmas 2002 in Japan.
Both Im sure will be awesome games - Dunno what to make of Zelda's new cell shading look though - Rather intrieging!!

It's 6.74 megs but WELL worth it! That game just looks SOOOOOO good! I think i'm gonna have to buy a ticket to Japan and break into Nintendo HQ and steal one, cos I want one NOW!
I've been lookin' forward to the new Mario game since I got Mario 64 with my N64 when it came out. And it looks like the wait is gonna have been worth it. From the screen shots it looks like Mario Sunshine is gonna be the best platform game ever! And i'm currently downloading the movie of the game and so i'll be able to see what it looks like in action soon.
As for the Zelda game. Well initially I was quite shocked! I mean, after seeing the original movie with Link fighting Ganon, I was expecting some super detailed Zelda game, and then to see the cartoon version I almost didn't beleive what I was seeing. But after looking at the screen shots again, and spending an hour downloading the movie of the game, I can finally say that I think it looks pretty good. Jet Set Radio used that style of graphics and that was a great game, and I think with Nintendo handling this game it's gonna play and look superb!
As for those games, what does everyone think of the others? I'm wetting my pants over the prospect of playing Wave Race: Blue Storm and the new 1080 game! I'm savin' my pennies now so that I can splash out on one when it comes out ;( next year.
Oh yer and can someone tell me how many posts you have to make before they stop classin' ya as a newbie! I mean click on my stats and see how long i've been postin'! I may not have posted that many, mainly cos I don't have free access to the internet all the time, and I don't generally make small 5 word posts.
