Is there any chance you guys can post article here ? Did the interview have screenshots of it like in between paragraphs ? I never heard of that game. I thought EC CD was supposed to be 3D but they made it 2D for time (early 1995 Sega CD release), then pushed that 3D EC plan to Saturn but that got scrapped too ?Quote:

(perhaps not even anything Mario or specific to a planned game, but just testing out platform mechanics in 3D -Star Fox 2 actually did that to modest degree)
It's certainly nothing like Commanche or FX Fighter, which were actually in development for the Super FX as prototype builds. (and obviously nowhere near what Star Fox 2 was -a totally complete game cancelled prior to mass production)
My question is could we have had something like final fantasy 7? low polygon models on pre-rendered backdrops, we kinda half got it with silpheed! (oh wait weren't they sprites and not polygons at all?!?!)Quote:

I like the Super Scaler look of the game - I think the Sega CD should have focused alot more on that because that's one use of what the hardware was designed for/what was uniquely doable on there ie that couldn't be done on a normal Sega Genesis. I would have loved to see a port of Galaxy Force 2 with full scaling detail and even Power Drift (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iQ9TkNNnJE tg16 version) and Rad Mobile just to see how close to arcade they could get.
It was , In the interview SM said it was nothing more than tests and tech demo's to see what Mario would be like in 3D (it wasn't a game as such)Quote:

OK, that's also the impression I got from everything I've seen on Mario FX.Quote:
