"Mario and Zelda.... pssst."

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
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.

No. I remember it saying in Japanese 'Sun' in the corner of the shot, not sure why it said it, buts its my theory. Also, why would you be told its sunny, if you are outside under a tree.... heh... maybe it helps you when you are in a building.

However, even if it only contains a little bit of that cel-shading in it, IMHO, it's still a bad thing.

Indeed we have :)

Get hopeful. Hope is important.

suppose so... but still... I remain hopeful, but I'm not gonna start celebrating yet.

But they already have the detailed engine. We've seen it.

I considered flash back...

Link has flash backs to the first Zelda game when he was a child... in dream sequences we have the white edge etc... maybe in these flash backs we have Link's view of the world and stuff hence the graphic change...

I'm sure you get my meaning.

intriguing... And if it were true a damn good idea... I'm not sure we can jump to conclusions, but if that is what Ninty are planning it puts a whole new perspective to that 2 worlds theme, certainly one of the best. But I am not convinced, cos it means two seperate engines basically- one for the cell shadning and one for realistic! Now if Nintendo can pull it off it'll be awesome, but I am not convinced it will be that kind of two worlds system...

Still, here's hoping!

Thats all cool then...

How can you be so sure of this information though? are you 100% certain? Becasue it would be just soooooooo cool. Another step forward for Nintendo and its games...not just higher res grpahics...
