Got Four Swords today.

My god it's a bother getting it set up for multiplayer. We ended up giving up because there were no batteries for my GBA. But really, why can't Nintendo just come up with normal games? Sure, have GBA connectivety, but at least give people the choice not to. It could work just as well without the extra information you get on your GBA.

It's just so annoying that it has to take so much effort when you want a quick game of multiplayer. I tried it on 1-player but that's entirely pointless, and defeats the whole point of the game.

What they should have done is used the Wind Waker engine for four-player online multiplayer. Yes, you'd need online, but it's a hell of a lot more accessible than the GBA connectivety crap. I was all for it when it was just PacMan, but all you needed was 1 GBA and 1 lead.

A controller with a screen for the Revolution wouldn't be a bad idea if this is going o be Nintendo's emphasis for their future.

Gah.
