A bit off topic, but needed help and didn't know where to turn... I own and have completed every major zelda release, except one. Four Swords... Besides last year's free download of the DSi version, what are my options for getting a copy of this (preferably playable on a my 3ds, wii U, or wii) so that i can experience this title? It's about 50 bucks on amazon for the gamecube version. Any other suggestions? Any help you guys could provide would be huge. Thank u all!!

Well Nintendo needs to release one more big game,before they kill off a system.

I get that, that's why they should release it crossplatform; to respect the Wii U's userbase while not dooming the next console.

That is, unless the NX is set for, like, 2020.

Don't hate me because I'm bnahabulous.

The gamecube four swords is a different game than the dsi four swords. Are you talking about four swords adventures for gamecube or both. If you need both, there's not much you can do to get the DSi version as its no longer available

Well, the DSi Four Swords is actually just a port of the Four Swords for GBA, which came as an extra with the GBA port of A Link to the Past.

So you can still get that version (but you won't be able to play it all by yourself).

But yeah, Four Swords (GBA/DSi) and Four Swords Adventures (GC) are two completely different games.

Well, they said we would hear more about it next year.

Not that we would get it next year.

Think about that, though. If we hear about the Wii 3 in 2016 and it releases in 2017 there's still no Zelda launch title. The Wii U's launch was much too soon and doomed its future. You just can't do that.

Why? They're not changing control schemes, which was why Skyward Sword was delayed, and they're not porting it to another console, which was why Twilight Princess was delayed.

Also, they've been working on this game for a long time, and were almost going to show it in E3 2013. I think it'll be ready for November 2015.

If it's not ready in 2015 I just hope they announce it as a crossplatform launch title for the NX. They need to stop releasing Zelda exclusively on dying platforms.

Part of me thinks it will get delayed till 2016. But I think theyll do everything they can to get it out for the holidays. They really dont want to miss it. They should make a Zelda U Wii U gold bundle with a gold wiiu and gold gamepad. Still shocked we didnt get a red wiiu mk8 bundle.

Just by the fact that Aonuma is paying attention to little details like apples on trees and epona not running into trees, means to me that the attention to detail in this game is enormous.

I have no doubt that this game will be a very solid reason for hardcore gamers and zelda fans to buy a wii u. One thing that I doubt is that the first original Zelda on Wii U would be a cross platform title. Nintendo is still trying to turn the Wii U into the gameboy by releasing a killer game or two that will revitalize sales late in the game. That was their entire strategy with the end of last year and this year: announce and release crowd pleasers to revitalize interest in the Wii U.

You honestly can't prove that there isn't some kind of major development problem going on right now. Maybe Miyamoto is demanding some sort of alternate control scheme at the last minute, or the game is getting too big for the hardware, and they can't figure out what to cut. Only the developers would know something like that for sure. We don't even really know that much about the game, to be honest. We don't know all of the features they're trying to include.

Although my gut feeling is that it'll arrive this year. They seem pretty confident this time around. If this game is falling behind, they're more likely to cut content than deny the Wii U an original Zelda game for another 6 months.

Got married.

Really? Cross platform Wii U / Wii 3, not cross platform with the other platform brands! Bloody obviously!

If the Wii 3 comes out later than 2017 then Nintendo could conceivably do a second push of games for the Wii U, but if not than I don't think it'd be reasonable to make yet another system with little to no killer launch titles.

Don't hate me because I'm bnahabulous.

I dont get what youre saying. It's very unlikely that we will see zelda u on wii 3 unless it's backward compatible in some fashion. I mean, at this time at least, there are obviously no plans to release wii 3 any time before the second half of 2016 at the very earliest, a full year after zelda u is slated for release.

Nope. The thing is that Nintendo knows how desperate of a position they are in. They have to launch Zelda U this holiday.

That said, they may very well delay parts of the game's content like they are doing with Splatoon and did with Smash U. For example, they may patch in a boss rush or an optional challenge dungeon in 2016

Zelda U is the new Smash Bros. That was the big 2014 game that everyone was convinced for no reason at all would be delayed to the next year and Nintendo would have nothing to sell for the holidays.

So Anakin kneels before Monster Mash and pledges his loyalty to the graveyard smash.

I'm willing to believe that it's a November 2015 game. That said, if it is delayed Nintendo really need to assess the launch lineup for the Wii 3 / Wii U2 (the band the movie). They need, like, a perfect singleplayer multiplayer, and some other kinds of games (all of which are popular brands). There's not much that fills that singleplayer slot; 3D Zelda, 3D Mario, Metroid Prime, and maybe, maybe Paper Mario. Original Wii had Wii Sports and Twilight Princess; boom, you're done: bases covered.

If 3D Zelda continues to be a 'death throes' game then Nintendo need to take a sober look at their launch lineup and ask 'what else?'

I hope they don't cut content from the game. That's what happened with Wind Waker, two dungeons were cut and in it's place was looking for all 8 Triforce shards. If the game is falling behind, I rather them delay it, then to cut content and put in something tedious in it's place.

Why is everyone concerned that it's either released next year or quality cut? Sure, they have great pressure to get this in by (most likely) November, but I trust the quality of Nintendo games. Maybe I'm optimistic, but I'm certain Zelda will be grand and on time

There's no reason to assume the game will be delayed. I'll be playing it in about 8 months from now.

@ak239181 Four Swords is a multiplayer game released with A Link to the Past for the GBA. The downloadable game for the DSi and 3DS is called Four Swords: Anniversary Edition, which is basically the same game, with additional levels. They were available as a free download for a while in 2011-2012 and in 2014 (I'm not sure if it's still available, you should check the 3DS eShop). Then there's Four Swords Adventures, both singleplayer and multiplayer. It is only available for the GameCube, and yes, it's quite pricey.

Four Swords > GBA (A Link to the Past) (multiplayer only!)
Four Swords: Anniversary Edition > DSi & 3DS (special temporary downloads)
Four Swords Adventures > GameCube
