    Actually Nintendo has been doing this kind of crap for YEARS. Nintendo has become all about stupid gimmicks and they've been all about stupid gimmicks since like 1998. I mean yeah the other companies are bad about it too (Eyetoy) but Nintendo is the King of Gimmicks.

    At least the EyeToy came with (most of) the games that required it and their retail prices weren't jacked up. Well, other than they were all pretty much $20-$40 games selling at $60 and a bunch of them were never available without the EyeToy included (AntiGrav was my first duplicate EyeToy...but not my last ).

    the Kung Fu minigame in Play made it all worthwhile, though.

    You bought a Game Cube just to play Zelda:Four Swords?

    nintendo wants everyone to own all of their products, so of course they make certain cool aspects only available to people who own all of them.

    four swords sucked single player, i'm sure it'd be fun multi, but who knows 3 other people with 3 gbas and has 4 cables. pshhh, go fuck yourself nintendo.

    You forgot to show the television and the remote for the television. That adds $500 right there. Plus your monthly electric bill. Geez what is Nintendo trying to pull?

    I guess I just don't see the point here. Nintendo made a game that requires extra hardware to play. I didn't see all the up in arms comments about needing an extra $60 guitar controller for two player in guitar hero. At least the GBA can play other games. Don't want to buy the required hardware? Don't play the game.

    Fuckin Sony requiring me to buy a PS3 to play PS3 games! WTF!?

    If the $335 was for a single add-on that only worked with 4 Swords and maybe one or two other games, I could see your point. But I think the scenario of having a GC with a memory card and compnent cable and a GBA and a freind with a GBA (all of which was surely not purchased solely for 4 Swords) is quite common.

    I can only assume the OP was being sarcastic.

    "Nintendo makes me buy consoles and games just so I can play stuff. How greedy!"

    Where did you buy it from? Any half decent store would have warned you of what you needed.

    That being said, it IS on the box. Ever bought a PC game without checking to see if your computer fit the requirements? Darn you Bethesda! I have to buy a $200 video card, $150 worth of RAM, and a new $300 processor to play your game!

    I'm sure that they didn't intend for you to buy all the GBAs and the cords, it's more like call your friends over and play.

    The point here is that you don't need 4 gbas/cables to play it. Sure it helps, but if you're a gamer, you have the Gamecube, the GBA, possibly the cable (but realistically $10 isn't that much). As you pointed out, you already bought a second GBA cause it had a brighter screen, so realistically, you paid $15 for two connector cables, $20 for the clearance game, and $40 for a component cable you don't need.

    If you were 12 years old and buying this off your allowance, I'd understand, but you already had this stuff already. Stop complaining about it.

    And to the “it's more like call your friends over and play” comment, it’s not like I have too many gamer friends. I’m a 30-year-old electrician that’s married. Going to work asking my co-workers for a spirited Friday night game of Zelda would be suicide.
    My problem is buying all the components and attempting to play through a 4-player made game with only two people. Games like this were made for you to have gamer friends. More gamer friends = less money spent.
    In your defense, going out of your way and buying all the extras to play a multi player game with your wife is understandable.
    But my suggestion would be to stay away from the 4-player games, espcially ones that require more than regular controllers or a multi-tap if you only ever have two players. Stick to the slew of multi-player games that 2 can sit down and enjoy and that require no extra BS.

    The fact is that own it or no, this game requires too much stuff to play.
    If you want to claim that there are just too many moving parts to get it going, I don't think everyone would get up in your grill about it. It was the part where you complained about how much it all cost, when you actually owned most of the parts to begin with was where the wheels fell off your rant.
