all i know is that, even today, i would love to see a remake of Zelda 2. Definately my favorite in the Zelda series, possibly my fav NES game ever. Why they never made another Zelda game in this style is beyond me.

Cause nearly everyone hate that one

I was one of them some year ago but when I got my collector edition disc for cube i decided to go trough it for the first time. Before that I had only played it for something like 5 minute, hating it almost instantly, lol

But now I think it's a really good RPG for the NES (one of the best btw) but a still for me very bad zelda game.

Zelda games most be an action-RGB.

I was under the impression that this screenshot was from one of the early SNES previews, and does not necessarily show a real full-blown remake of Zelda 2, but infact what was most likely meant as a demonstration/representation of the capabilities of the Snes hardware.

I'd like to know what magazine/issue/vintage that one comes from, though

Superplay magazine mentioned this, along with a rumour of a Zelda All-stars type thing with the first and second Zelda games from BS on the cart. I no longer have the issue, but I'm sure someone here does.

I remember that "rumor".

If memory serves me well, it was about how the Satellaview and the Zelda remake for it would most likely be a Japan only release (it had a screenshot or two of BS Zelda, which I believe also are different from the final version), along with a note about that they hoped for the possibilities of a Zelda All-Stars like cartridge release "in the west".

This is because nobody ever checks the sources on pictures, nor mentions the pictures' context, let alone links back to their sources. Makes a very good case for picture watermarking [size=-4][subliminalman]FrankCifaldi[/subliminalman][/size].

Here's my webpage which has pictures from the Famicom Tsushin special on the Super Famicom announcement in 1988 with that picture:

And here's the picture in question:


And now its context: That particular section in the SFC article explains the graphical capabilities of the SFC, including a large number of on-screen colours, and large memory addressing, allowing for Kanji text display. That mock-up pic of a recoloured Zelda 2 with kanji text is all that was ever seen of a SFC "Zelda 2". It's just a single-screen mockup shown during the SFC's tech demo showcase.

Excellent thats the mystery of that pictures olved, guess the news of the remake on the bs news channel was only rumour, and there was never a full remake went into production, unless they planned to use the existing stuff from the prototype games.

Thanks so much Ccovell.
