I hear talks on Zelda, and what Nintendo are playing at.
I hear talks on what the have done to Zelda. Now I try and offer my opinion with evidence on Nintendo from the games of the past.
Zelda has always had an alternate dimension. Can't you people see the expected. Just as I had been tipped right about After Dark, I reckon I could be right about this Zelda GC.
There are two dimensions, not time travelling or dark side/light, but something completely new. Realism and the cartoony graphics. You can only complete some of the game to unlock stages in the cell world and vice versa.
In each dimension there are different skills, which obviously go from being very simple in the cell dimension, to completely mouth stopping amazing in the realistic dimension. With a great balance of the two worlds, and this amazing idea that Nintendo have thought of, it goes to show. They aint brought nearly any of the rabbits out of the back yet.
With this, it leads me to start to think about Mario Sunshine, could this name be simply a development name, maybe it drops hints about the game. I saw a couple of movies and screenshots of mario under a tree, in the corner you will notice a display that shows you where the sun is. It did feature very heavily in the movie, Mario seemed to stay in the shadows of the buildings and trees. Obviously, I am not saying it was because he has turned into some vampire that fears light. However it opens interesting questions about the day and night modes in the game.
Mario can only do certain things at night, and certain things in the day. That would be great.
My evidence for the Zelda concept: Well, its just bloody obvious. Look at all the other Zelda's.
My evidence for the Mario concept: Have a look at most of Nintendo's most recent hits and amazing games, don't they all contain night and day modes, even the GB Pokemon, where things change at night. I don't know, but certainy I can think of many ideas for Mario Sunshine now (maybe even a Pokemon Red/Blue style game Mario Sunshine/Luigi Moonlight).
Anything is possible, because come on, this is the Big N we are talking about, they are the guys who still come up with original concepts.
Burn Mario Burn!
Thanks

P.S Gaming is a staged theatre. We are the audience... what the hell is behind the curtains... we only wait to see.

It's a nice idea and would be great if it was true but I'm not going to expect it.
So long as it doesn't become one of Shigsy's "short but sweet" mini games I'll be happy with either look.

The cartoony bit could be if Link has to travel into books or things like that instead of dungeons. It would be an unexpected twist. I don't really mind the new graphical style thought, it is still, underneath, good old fashioned hack'n'slashing Zelda.
I've always thought a Mario game is better suited to cel-shaded graphics.

Maybe the better you do the more realistic it becomes, like Rez.
WOW! That sounds like quite an interesting descovery there Joby. A day and night feature in a Mario game would be great to see. But as for the Zelda title, i just think it looks really wierd, in a good way but really wierd still.
I'm looking forward to both titles even more now. Just got to wait a bit, thats all... :-(

Yeah, I said the Zelda thing months ago, just a passing thought. If there's more evidence to support it then cool, if nto I'm not fussed, Zelda has never been about graphics, it's the adventure. Oracle of Ages is superb.
I remember The Game saying something about Mario Sunshine too. He pointed out the top corner, the sun, with varying levels of water in it. This reminded me of that level on Mario 64, when there would be a different amount of water in the level depending upon which height you entered the level at.
The thing in Mario's back looks like one of those drinking birds.
We'll see.

Bad Religion are my fave too! I've only got into it recently, so I've only got the compilation album entitled "Bad Religion". I will definitely get their new album and I will *try* and listen to them but I have school! NNNOOOOOO!

As I say, I haven't been into punk for long, but I also like The Offspring (what I've heard), Greenday and Blink 182. I'll try out some of those other bands too!

Celda. Nice name. I think its a brilliant idea if you stick Shigsy into it.
