Whatever....

could have sworn that was released on Game Cube too.

But Nintendo made me feel like the Gamecube was "old technology" the Wii was the future not the past.
Nintendo made it seem like, your still jerking off with your hand? step up to the pocket pussy!!!!!

I guess I was thrown off because of the dollar signs in the thread title and the list of components and prices. I should have realized that it wasn't about how much it cost.

My mistake.

If any of you guys are true Zelda fans then you will see that this is one of the greatest things Nintendo ever did. Four Swords is amazing, basically multiplayer Link to the past. Why does everyone look at this game like everyone should own all equipment necessary to play? Everyone owns a gameboy advance so basically the only extra costs is for each person to own their own gc/gba cord.

So unless you don't already own a gcn and your own gba maybe you shouldn't get the game so you don't have to blow $335.

BTW, did I mention that this game is fun as hell and is one of the best things Nintendo has ever done.

I work at a video game store and I can tell you that I would have sold that whole lot to you for at least 100$ cheaper, used, but in perfect condition and guaranteed mind you. I part-time at another game place that's even cheaper.
Four Swords with 4 players is damn cool and worth it IMO.

Now that you have the 4 swords setup, you can also play Crystal Chronicles and use the tingle tuner in Wind Waker and play the Island and also NES games in Animal Crossing

Your got most of the items right but I think you forgot to include a few items that helped bring those expenses together.
1.your cost of car/truck/van/rv
2.the cost of gas in your vehicle
3.the cost of the food you ate the day you drove all over town tracking down each item
4.the cost of paying 1-3 total strangers to come in your house, play your stuff, and pretend they enjoy your company (this issue wouldnt exist if you had friends who were also gamers and would bring their stuff over instead of expecting you to buy spare systems for them to play on vs the systems they own)

Looking at those prices, your right. Nintendo is a greedy company (and evil) for pulling a gun on you and your family and forcing you to buy their 2600 hardware.

I'm being a jerk and I think everyone can see that. You list off a bunch of complaints about how vile Nintendo is for somehow making you pay so much money so you can have a multi-player experience for just one of their titles yet fail to see how at no point are you required to buy the vast majority of the stuff listed. Everything you list is the same for every company. If you want to play NES games you need a NES system. If you want to play PS3 games you need a PS3. If you want to play said games on those systems, you also need a controler. You also need a power cord. A means to hook it to your TV. Listing each and every single expense posible is very stupid. Now you want to say your only joking about it. A joke's a joke but you do little to prove your anything more then a fanboy on a rant.

I work at a video game store ... I part-time at another game place.

How on earth do you get away with that? Neither place cares that you're working for their competitor?

[Daria]

You know when I bought the game new it actually came with a link cable. And I already had a gamecube... and a gba. What was the point of this thread again?

[Kid Ice]

Come on man…that’s absurd.

Everyone has a TV and electricity (at least most do…but that’s another story). Not everyone has 4 GBA’s and connector cables. Apples and oranges my friend...The fact is that own it or no, this game requires too much stuff to play.

Everyone who is going to play the game we presume already has a Gamecube and the necessary video connections. Is there a reason there are two sets of video cables in your picture? And I'm being absurd?

[esquire]

Well, it is a well known fact that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows.

This Pentavirate consists of The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, and Hiroshi Yamauchi before he retired from Nintendo. Oh, I hated Hiroshi Yamauchi with his wee beady eyes, and that smug look on his face. "Oh, you're gonna buy my Zelda Four Swords game! Ohhhhh!"

Talk about being late to the party and then telling lame jokes that someone else just told(and told much funnier). Lets beat this horse some more...

[neogamer]

You don't think that their (meaning Nintendo's) over-inflated stock price is just because they happened to sell all of those Wii consoles do you?

I do feel for you, but Nintendo and other companies, do this a lot.

That being said, I still like Nintendo as a company.

[blissfulnoise]

Crystal Chronicles was the roxx0rz.

[8-bitNesMan]

If it's just you and your wife playing, why the need for more than one GBA? I thought that on the two player setup, player one could use the cube controller and player 2 used the GBA (Or vice versa?)

It’s a controller for 1 player, GBA’s for each if playing 2-4 players…

Oh yeah I remember now. I've got it, it's just been a while since I dusted it off and played it. Never got to try out that 4-player set up; I bet that's a good time.
