"Zelda: 4 sword adventures"

i got this today, only 1 shop had it, out of 4 game shops and all the usual highsteet outlets.
Started playing it on single player and it is quite nice, the ammount of enemies u can be fighting at once is mamoth, using formations gives the game a stratigic edge.
The graphics are crap but strangely good at the same time, with smoke effects and sparks etc.
The puzzles i can see develeping into something quite hard, alreaddy had to think about a few, they are also good.
You can only carry one item at a time, as well as your sword, no inventory, i was quite bemused by this at first, but, it kinda makes sense when u get into the swing of the game, having to swap between items adds depth to the puzzles, and gives it a bit of a feel of a survivor horor feel, altho only slightly.

You move to different sections with a game map a bit like pikmins, except with different areas, and can only save at the end of a level.
anyway i'm quite enjoying it but is this inovation on behalf of Nintendo or not? surely they could have made new sounds and new graphics rarther than just rehash old 1's?
I look forward to playing multiplayer, i have heard its the best bit.

I've noticed that Gamecube is being neglected in shops like Woolworths. It's sickening.

its assembled in germany, u would'ent expect any less.

Mine arrived today but I haven't had chance to play it yet. The box is nice though.

ok i take most of what i said back about the graphics, i just fourght the most amazing looking boss.

Really??? Maybe there's a delayed system.

But GAME should be stocking them no problem. The only one I stopped in on friday definatly had a copy.

And mine still hasn't arrived. Evil SR.

another bummer is that u HAVE to have the same number of cables and gameboy advances as ther are multiple players,
for example i wanted to play it with my mum, we only have 1 GBA in the house, i expected maybe a window might pop up for her on the screen, instead of a GBA, but no, u have to have GBA's and cables galore to play multi-player.

oh and i'm really enjoying 4 swords, but, my battery on the advance keeps running low.

The shop that had the game was gamestation, number 2 in the chart in a tiny gamecube section, GAME never had it, a shop in the south called Games exchange never had it, and an even more local games shop never had it.

Smiths did'nt have a gamecube section, at all.
Neither did woolworths, i was walking round like an idiot in there looking for it.
Neither did currys and the only gamecube section Blockbuster had was sale items, they did'nt even have a games to rent section.

Will the gamecube sections come back into stores when Zelda and Resi 4 come out?

Well the shops buy the games from Nintendo, so if only 1/4 games shops are buying the games, then that's less money for Nintendo, something which Dringo cares deeply about.
