For The Legend of Zelda's 25th anniversary, Nintendo is porting The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures to DSiWare, meaning you can play it on your DSi, XL, or 3DS.

Also, Nintendo is dickslapping everyone who doesn't have on of those consoles by making it free.

Of course, I'll get it on the day it comes out, but it's a pretty different move of Nintendo to port over a Gamecube game on a downloadable service for free. Of course, I have no fucking clue how they'll pull it off, because the game is centered about multiplayer, but I'm sure they'll think of something. Download Play is probably a given, online multiplayer is outside Nintendo's mindset, and I can't think of a third thing. So yeah, thanks Nintendo! Of course, I'm almost certain this game will turn out shit, but hey, free Zelda.

Making it free at least ensures that finding other people who have it won't be a problem. Will all four players need to be running it on the same hardware, the same way local multiplayer is incompatible across the DS/Lite and DSi/XL?

As far as I know, the 3DS can do download play with the DS and Lite, and it is certain it does it with DSis and XLs.

Correction: It's Four Swords, not Four Swords Adventures. The difference being that Four Swords sans Adventure was the side mode on the GBA LttP.

Derp, your right. Careless error on my part.
