Just been checking a top secret video/non playable,of a rather large up-coming game from Nintendo for Gamecube.
It's nice to have connections, the little game is Mario/Luigi, that's right, bottom line: WOW,when people see this at E3 it will be the talk of the show.
Evidently, Gamecube Mario/Luigi game may be a two-disc game-and not because of space limitations. There will be one disc for each character! "create-your-own adventure/choose-your-own-adventure elements" as well as "undetermined communication features." The two discs would supposedly interact with one another and feature actions that would have real-time consequences.
Footage opens with a dark and stormy night as the camera zooms in on a gigantic mansion on a hill, bombarded by lightning and thunder. The scene then changes to the mansion's interior as the front door swings open, revealing a familiar silhouette. Lighting crashes and we see the shadowy figure turn to reveal the concerned face of… Luigi!
Terrified, Luigi slides down a stairway banister as spooky ghosts pursue him. Luigi moves just in time too, as an enormous chandelier hits the ground right where he was standing! The effect of the glass shattering into small pieces is spellbinding, as is the shot of Luigi's tonsils swinging like church bells as the camera zooms into his screaming mouth.It's a ramped up and more detailed video than what was released months ago, more footage as well.
The entire demo looks fantastic, complete with facial expressions, use of lighting and incredibly detailed animation throughout. What's more astounding is that all of the action of the demo goes by very quickly, demonstrating some pretty awesome power on the part of the Gamecube! One can only fantasize what this would be like to play-for now.
The two games can allegedly interact with each other or remain separate while each character has different tasks that they can choose. The outcome of the tasks affects things in the game in real time, so that every time you play every decision has a different outcome.
In other words you can play with a partner on two tv's go in seperate locations and then when you choose you can join at a predetermined local. Or you can split-screen it. Also one player can play at anytime and have the other player join in at anytime.Or you can play as a team from beginning to end, your choice.We shall see the facts at E3, however you can expect something along these lines.Forget about that five year old image of Mario, it's the next century now, and it shows.
I've never seen soo much excitement in games with E3 coming in a few days, they are so advanced now compared to what we have seen to date.
