Cube-europe have reported that Shigeru Miyamoto wants Mario 128 and Pikmin 2 to be out by years end, and also that the next zelda will be released in 2004. I have a feeling Super Mario 128 has been in development for a long time and will be something special.

I'm gonna pre-order Zelda tomorrow, whether the Pre-Order discs are coming out here or not. If they are, then I get two games! Well, one and a half.

Well what do you expect when it was first shown E3 2000 and already announced (technically) back when the GCN was still the Dolphin and Shiggy said it would be more mature.
Its probably already been in development since 1999. ITS GONNA BE THA BOMB.

AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!
Unless they've been working on two Zelda games at the same time there is NO WAY that's going to happen. I'd say same thing with Mario. Pikmin 2 is the only title I would expect to see in 2003 as they would have had two years to make the game. But Mario or Zelda titles being released only a year apart is a pipe dream. Nintendo isn't EA you know.

This will not be Pikmin meets Mario, this will not be 100 Marios, this will be the next real adventure. It won't be rushed, it won't focus on objects and it won't be buggy.
(I am not saying SMS was bad, just saying that it will be the worst out of the 3 most recent games. Or at least I hope.)

Ian: Obviously you missed the SMS interview posted on Nintendo.com. Here is one choice quote that may be of interest to you:
Miyamoto: "Whenever we are working on so-called series games, I really feel it's necessary to make the interval between a game and its sequel as short as possible, and we have to do something to improve the situation for our fans. Accordingly, people who used to work together on the Mario series have been split into several teams in order to introduce Mario series games with less lag time between them. We are taking a similar approach to the Zelda series."
The rest of the article is really good too.
SMS Interview
Anyway, throughout the interview, Miyamoto and the other NOJ developers repeatedly stress the different ways that they are trying to reduce development times in between sequels. So, while they may not accomplish the goal, I truly believe that Nintendo is going to try to release a new Mario game for Q4 2003 and a new Zelda game for Q4 2004.

Mature? Hope that doesn't make it suck.

think about it: all the moves and items from super mario world, the suits from mario 3
oh yeah and they should put BROTHERS back into the title
it would be great to have another mario brothers game for the 2 player co-op

Are you talking about the "128 Marios" demo? It isn't the same thing as "Mario 128". And I don't remember anything about any game being "more mature"
EDIT: Had to fix the "quote"
Post by: PaLaDiN on February 07, 2003, 11:43:39 AM
Is "Mario 128" the one with 128 (100?) Marios jumping around at once? The tech demo?
Or is it a new Mario, as in Mario 64 for the 128-bit generation?
I was leaning towards the latter, but one of Matt's mailbag answers suggested otherwise. A "puzzle game" I think is what he called it.

RICK KNOWS SOMETHING!!
I thought the demo shown at E3 2000 or whenever it was was a tech demo called 100 marios?!?! Super Mario 128 is not the same thing people, it is the true sequal to Mario 64 we have all been waiting for, Miyamoto said in an interview "Mario 128 will have the newness that Sunshine was missing". Well, i think its a new proper Mario game, not a puzzle game. And Rick just hinted at something, TELL US MORE RICK! Please

What 'roid said is also true, to some extent. Shiggy did express interest in making the next Zelda game non cel-shaded. So, if you think that makes it more mature (I don't necessarily think so), then the next Zelda will be more mature.

Have you read any of the specifications on Nintendo's website? The GameCube uses a 128-bit PowerPC processor. You're thinking of the Nintendo 64, which uses a 64-bit processor.
EDIT: And on a sidenote, you might want to update your sig - both the PS2 and GameCube are 128-bit systems. The XBox, on the other hand, is 32-bit. (Actually, the Pentium series is 64-bit, since it uses a 64-bit data bus, but no one seems to know that for some reason.)
Post by: Lev on February 07, 2003, 04:55:10 PM
it is extremely possible for a new zelda to come out by Q4 2004, especially if they keep with the cel shading. After all, wasn't Ocarina and MM two years appart?
Post by: Clonester on February 07, 2003, 04:56:04 PM
Anyways, I really hope this game is NOT rushed. That may have led to Mario Sunshine not being as good to many and not the killer app many have come to expect from a Mario game. A lot of criticism was coming Nintendo's way for not releasing a Mario game at launch for the Gamecube, and they didn't have many big name games coming out at the time, so it was more than likely a top priority for Nintendo to release M. Sunshine ASAP. Miyamoto & team can do wonders with time in their hands. He wants to cut down development time, but I really hope it isn't rushed.
PS. Mario Sunshine wasn't too rushed, but the time was not taken (mostly in thinking up the game) to develop it to full potential.

Oh, you mean Super Mario Sunshine! Probably because they didn't feel like calling it "Super Mario 64 2", because that's a bit awkward.
Post by: Lev on February 07, 2003, 06:05:47 PM
there have been no titles with 128 in the name and mario 128 doesn't even exist yet, so you can't include that.

This is considered the 128bit generation, regardless of how many consoles really have 128bit CPUs. I think it would still be considered the 128bit generation if NONE of the consoles had 128bit CPUs.

When Mario 128 was officially confirmed some months ago IGN were posting the videos of Mario 128 from E3 2000 right?
I gotta check it up. Anyway, Mario 128 nonetheless has been in development very long whereas SMS really seems to be a port from a N64 developed but GCN enhanced games, thats what several gaming sites like IGN assumed.
About the new Zelda, couldnt it be possible that another Zelda has been under development parrallel to Wind Waker? In a totally different style?
Post by: jme on February 08, 2003, 12:52:07 AM
Okay, you know the game select area of Super Mario Sunshine, where you control mario and jump around and stuff to select a new game or a saved game or options? Well the graphics were just as great as those in the game (sunshine) but it was a sidescroller sort of thing (you could only go left or right, not near or far)
Don't you think it would be a great idea to remake SMB 1 2 and 3 with those style graphics? Have everything identical, from the level layout to the warps, to the enemies, but just with a HUGE facelift? Since those games are pretty short and aren't REALLY 3D I'm sure they could fit all 3 onto 1 disc, even with the graphic update. Oh and of course unlockable original versions too.
