Man, this is all kinds of awesome:

The SNES levels were huge, and took me around 25-30 mins to get through them. Ended up with some 2000+ coins.

Just starting this one now :D

The music in both worlds are awesome, but the gameboy style one is probably the superior one. SO. AWESOME.

How did I not know about this? I'm going to get some eShop points tomorrow now and download it.

I don't know how much of the game is in the DSiWare version -- it's a mode or two taken directly from the retail DS game.

Other test/info:
Like the orginal GBA one, FSAE/FS25 is region-locked.

Yeah, japanese/US/EU GBA games weren't working together with region-free GBA, and today, I can tell that WAN game between japanese and EU 3DS doesn't work either.

About Tetris Attack DSiWare...
A condensed adaptation of Panel de Pon DS, Chotto Panel de Pon, was released for the Nintendo DSi's DSiWare download service. It consists of four single-player modes: Endless, Clear, Score Attack, and Vs. COM.[9] The game was released in Japan on January 29, 2009, in the PAL regions on July 17, 2009 as A Little Bit of… Puzzle League, and in North America as Puzzle League Express on August 31, 2009.[10]

I like it a lot. I hate messing with carts, so it's nice to have it on there all the time. I'm very happy with it, and certainly think it's worth getting, especially for people who play on commutes and things.

Thanks, will do.

Okay, so Four Swords may not be up yet, but did anyone else check out the Zelda 25th Anniversary Developers Interview Video on the eShop? It's very cool!

The eShop is really glitching, so you might be booted a couple of times.

Well I checked the Aussie store and we didn't get it at all, as per usual. Thanks anyway.

Where in the store exactly? It wasn't in the 25th Anniversary channel, or listed in the Recent Arrivals section, unless they put it up between me checking the store and your post...

What 3DS game is that in your cartridge?

Also I have this game but I don't want to play it, it looks too tedious and I'm scared to play a 4 player game by myself after messing around with it.

Did you try checking the Zelda 25th Anniversary tab? Or you could try searching for Zelda.
It has them talking a bit about Skyward Sword at the end, and although they say nothing in the video that we didn't already know, it's still pretty neat, so it would kind of suck if you guys didn't get the video.

It's The World Ends With You, a DS title.

Downloaded it. I played it only very, very briefly (didn't even finsih the first tutorial) and at least presentation-wise it seems neat. Tomorrow I have more time to test it out.

You're talking about the dev interview and not the game, right? The only videos that appear for me are the E3 2011 orchestral trailer and trailers for OOT3D/Link's Awakening.

For everyone wanting online...how would you even play this game online? It'd be pretty damn hard to play cooperatively without voice chat or anything, I'd think.

No, The actual Four Swords game is there. It's the first thing that appears when you open up the channel!

The obvious solution would be to add Voice Chat.
Or at least some kind of icon based communication.

Although as far as I am concerned, online in Four Swords is like asking for online in New Super Mario Bros- it's sort of missing the point.

I'd personally just get on Mumble to talk to my friends. :p

Just downloaded this in Europe (from the 25th Anniversary Channel as noted before) and played a bit of the tutorial level craftily in the toilet at work - seems really good so far, and the 1 player implementation is pretty slick - although admittedly I'm not far into it.

Playing on the 3DS and not really suffering any motion blur problems that force me to play in
native rez. Cant wait to get further in ! :)

We were discussing the dev interview video, not the game. Sorry for the mix-up!

Yeah, and it'll also be the first icon on the main page with "new!" on it (it's a picture of four swords, shockingly enough).

Well like I said I'd only play it with friends and would use something like Skype to communicate.
Honestly thought I don't think it would be that hard to play without communication.

Offering this game for free is awesome.
Including a single player mode is awesome.
Adding new classic levels is awesome.

I give Nintendo an A for this effort.

Edit: actually a B+, as online would have been neat indeed. 3DS can certainly handle voice chat.

While I do think it's awesome Nintendo have done this, it almost makes me wonder why the first parties don't give away games more often. If for nothing else than to attract people to the platforms. Certainly I wouldn't expect the Zelda SS/Uncharted/Gears' of the world being free, but they all do smaller downloadable games they could give away if they cared to.
