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
er-no
P.S Gaming is a staged theatre. We are the audience... what the hell is behind the curtains... we only wait to see.
I think it was Dringo... maybe not... I can't remember to be honest, but it's definitely something that has been looked at before, so it isn't a completely stupid idea!

Yes but be aware that there was no detail and i thought it looked awsome but apart from that look at it if someone stood up and yelled SEX we'd all listen it could have nothing to do with SEX but it damn well got our attention as did Cell Shaded, look at this topic for starters!
Sibs, I have Bad Religion playing on the PC right

Turbo, you got MSN? If so give me your E-mail and I'll add you... Anyway, I LOVE BAD RELIGION!!! Got on of their T-shirts on NOW for gods sake! I am pumped about their new album, and tomorrow (Monday night, Tuesday morning actually) at 2am on Radio 1 Bad Religion are in the studio playing new tracks from the album!!! WOHOO!
anyway, other bands include Pennywise, Green Day, Suicidal Tendencies, Minor Threat, Operation Ivy, Zero Down (ever heard of them?) and Anti-Flag. Many more I won't name, screwing this topic up...
anyway, I hope you ARE right about the new Zelda having Cell shading AND realistic... that'd shut up every critic in the house!!!

No, it looked crap.
Anyway...

This game is the one to watch but all Shigsy has done is put some cell shaded graphics on Links new outings and he has been forgotten.

I think that he has kept the idea he showed at 2000 i think the new cell shaded look has managed to make the game easy to make so half of it is with the new easier done graphics and half with the older look.
Come on look at the graphics they are poor there is no detail added as of yet and he plans to have it finished in a year and a half after changing what he had done the year before???
Cell Shaded is not only a smart idea but a brilliant stunt to bring the new Zelda into the lime light.
