With the recent release of Zelda: The Wind Waker, I think it would be very interesting to see "toon shading" (also known as "cel-shading") in other Nintendo games. Super Smash Bros, in toon shading would look nice...very nice. Or maybe a new Mario game that has a distinctive cel-shaded look... What do you think?
People who like video games should also like Nintendo. People who don't like Nintendo obviously don't like video games.

It WOULD be interesting, and kind of cool. But I still think they should do a perfectly rendered 3D game, like SMS more with SSBM quality graphics.

I *vaguely* remember seeing beta screen shots of what looked like a future Mario game. (Super Mario Universe?) Anyway, if they were real, they looked pretty cell-shaded to me. But the characters looked kind of...off. Like I said, I *vaguely* remember seeing it, and I have no idea from where.

I like cell-shading and all, but I think Mario should stay in the same graphical style as in SMS.

I know what you're talking about, Sapphira.  The "Super Mario Universe" was a short video clip of an allegedly new, cel-shaded Mario Game for the GBA.

As nice as it looked, there were a lot of inconsitencies, and Nintendo later confirmed its fraud... -ity? Fraudality?  Bah- whatever the adjective for "fraud" is.

Oh, good, so I'm *NOT* insane. ...Maybe :)
I don't think fraud has an adjective, but, bah!, I make nouns into adjectives and verbs all the time on purpose. English language doesn't have enough is what I say.

Anyway, do you have any idea what kinds of inconsistancies? Oh, and I would think it'd be VERY difficult to do on the GBA. GCN would be much more logical. (Now I sound like a Vulcan. :)  )

Does anyone know of a source that has these beta shots and info?

For that "Super Mario Universe?" There's a thread somewhere around here that has the link to it...
And really, Paper Mario is rather like cel-shading, considering they're paper cutouts.

But hey, you know what? THIS GOES IN GENERAL CHAT.
That was a joke.

Apparently people don't realize (or care, anyway) which board is appropriate to post topics in. I don't really care, though. As far as I know, I've posted my topics in the correct spots, so whatever.

It's Fraudulent. And yes, Super Mario Universe was indeed a fraud.

 And personally, I'm quite tired of this cel-shading. It was nice with Zelda, but I wouldn't mind seeing it retired for a while. A slew of games have done it already, and many more are comming. It's just not original anymore.

EDIT: a before the u.
      One 'l' it is, wrong tense as well.

I agree, cel-shading (one L) is nice sometimes, but it's being overused.

Fraudulent!  Yes!
...
Wait... that's not what I want.  Okay, it's what I ASKED for but... I think I wanted the adjective of the state of being a fraud... or something.
Fraudulence?  Well, I'm sure it doesn't matter at this point.

Fifth, "fraudulent" is what you asked for because you asked for an adjective. What you typed, however, requires a noun. The reason this didn't occur to you, I think, is that "fraud" is a noun, and you knew that "fraud" wouldn't work. English is a complicated language, and some words have more than one noun form; the noun you were looking for is indeed "fraudulence."

"As nice as it looked, there were a lot of inconsitencies [sic], and Nintendo later confirmed its fraudulence."

Also, if you were to follow that "i before e except after c" rule, you'd have to spell it "inconsistenceis." See why people learning English as their second or third language have a hard time?

I posted in BORED!! With a pinch of salt.

"Fraudulence" occurred to me last night shortly before I fell asleep.

As I said in the General Chat Gameheadz topic, English is a clumsy and unnecessarily cumbersome language.
That was a joke.

I think that WW would have looked a little more like a cartoon if they would have made outlines some how.

Everybody has the right to stupidity, but you''re abusing the privilage.
