Zelda II [SNES - Tech Demo]
(4 votes, average: 4.00 out of 5)
Loading ...UPDATE!: Thanks to Chris Covell on the Assembler Forum, we finally have some more informations about this assumed BS-X remake of Zelda 2: “Here’s my webpage which has pictures from the Famicom Tsushin special on the Super Famicom announcement in 1988 with that picture. That particular section in the Super Famicom 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.”
So, the presumed Zelda 2 BS-X was nothing more than a 1988 “tech demo” to show the SNES power to the press >> read the original news

[OLD]Come già successo per il primo episodio della saga di Zelda, questo secondo titolo, uscito originariamente su NES, sarebbe dovuto essere un remake di Zelda II: The Adventure Of Link, riprogrammato e distribuito ai giocatori giapponesi attraverso il servizio satellitare del BS-X Satellaview, l’ADD-ON per Super Nintendo. Stiamo ancora cercando maggiori informazioni a riguardo, ma il seguente sembrerebbe essere l’unica prova dell’esistenza di questo progetto, uno scan di una rivista giapponese di data imprecisata. Se avete ulteriori notizie in merito o se sapete tradurre la scritta nell’immagine, fateci sapere mandandoci un email!
Aggiornamento: Ultraman82 ci ha riferito che nella scritta al di sotto dell’immagine si parla non di un semplice remake (!!), bensi dello sviluppo di Zelda 3! saranno necessarie ulteriori indagini a riguardo, la cosa è senz’altro interessante! [OLD]

We don’t know much about it anyway, and we just made some speculations in this introduction. Apparently, fake or not, this scan is connected to zelda III for Nes / Snes.
