DS 2D Power Question

do you guys think that the DS can pull off GameCube Four Swords quality 2D? like with all those effects and stuff? would it atleast be able to pull off something close?

Gamecube did all those FXs with polygons, so no, DS won't be able to match it doing it the same way. DS's polygonal FXs can't come close to what GC is able to do (it's can't even filter the textures, so...). DS could do something reminicent with it's 2D hardware, but won't have the same impact.

Pana's commented on this before. One thing I remember him saying was he thought the DS would capable of doing SotN without any scale backs, so that might be go place to start to imagine what kind of 2D the DS can put out.
 
ah, not bad then. just wondering and all since chances are, we'll probably get something like Four Swords before some kind of Ocarina port hits the DS.
