With the November 18th, 2001 release of Nintedo's newest gaming console, the Gamecube, is the certainty of a new Zelda game on the horizon. Legend of Zelda, a tentative title for the game, brings back the old-school Zelda 2-like look to the game. Many game enthusiastis expected the new game to be a venture into ultra-realisim, but Nintendo is going cartoon. Link and his universe takes on a 2D, cardboard cutout look with exaggerated facial expression, and bright colors that remind some of 1980s fashion sense. The game looks much more like something from Cartoon Network's Samuri Jack than a venture into 128mb realism. Nintendo - maker of mostly non-violent, character driven games- claims the move is to make games more like gaming, as opposed to an alternative reality. They stand behind the somewhat controversial look for the Zelda franchise, and many analyst say that it isn't all about realism, but about gameplay. Gamers couldn't agree more. |
