http://members.aol.com/mips36/: 05/25/02 Rare, Zelda and Soul Calibur 2... During the Nintendo press conference a member of the press asked whether Rare would be going multiplatform. Nintendo confirmed that Rare will be staying Nintendo-exclusive. Also NA MCO confirmed that Soul Calibur 2 is still coming to GameCube first, looks like Sony’s claim that they had SC2 as an exclusive was simply misinformation. Rumors at the show suggest that another Zelda is in the works for Nintendo GameCube, one more in the style of the Space World demo.

Well it says rumors, but at least there's that much... So we might get a SW2000 version after alll, so all you whiners about Cel Shaded Zelda can be satisfied.

I haven't whined about the new look. But I would also like a game similar to the SW2001 demo.

Just to be an a$$.

We are getting a game using the SW 2001 demo. Celda was the 2001 demo so ofcourse we are getting that, but I think you were referring to the 2000 demo.

I question the reliability of this source. I would be very surprised if Rare stays Nintendo Exclusive.

I've said it since the beginning. Of course they are working on another Zelda. Celda is going to be released this winter in Japan, what do you think they'll do then?? They'll continue the realistic and more mature Zelda, which will be released in 2004. It's simple as that.

they might not have been making a realistic looking zelda game in the first place... the SW2000 demo was just a demo... They could have been working on a cel-shaded zelda all along and decided to show off a realistic zelda demo because... tech demos are meant to show off the graphical capabilities of systems... and most people seem to appreciate realistic graphics compared to amazingly good cel-shading...

But what I've been saying all along is... Duh, of course there will be another Zelda... there were 2 on NES... 2 on N64... only 1 on SNES, but still, Zelda's coming out a little over a year after the system's release in the US... if NGC lasts the usual 5 years or so, do you think there will only be one zelda game in it's lifetime? 'Course not... but wether or not it will have realistic graphics is up in the air... obviously Miyamoto likes these cel-shaded graphics... So do a lot of people who have seen it in motion... now if the game gets released and people don't bitch and moan and they compliment the game and talk about it's so awesome, despite the cel-shaded graphics, then Miyamoto has no real reason to make it realistic, so if he likes the cel-shaded style and most other people don't have a problem with them, the second zelda game might still have cel-shaded graphics...

But who knows... I think it's more likely that it will have realistic graphics instead of cel-shaded, but still... :p

Actually, it was said that they were using the engine from SW2000 for the Zelda game, and that they were using that exact model for Link.

Then there was a change of heart, and they started from scratch with the cel-shaded look :D.

Oh... I didn't know that...

Anyways... I hope they make a realistic one too... just so you get both styles on the one system instead of sticking with cel-shading...
