Nintendo will be showing off its multiplayer muscles at this year's World Hobby Fair, starting January 19th in Osaka.  Nintendo will promote the already-released Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Party 5 with ongoing competitions.  Winners will earn stamps in order to redeem special Nintendo prizes.  Attendees can also compete against others in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Plus, the GameCube sequel to the 4-player GBA game on display at E3 last year.  Three different modes will be on display; the winner after all three modes will take home a Link figurine in the style of The Wind Waker.  The game's three modes are Hyrule Adventure, which looks and plays like A Link to the Past with four players, Navi's Trackers, which is a scavenger hunt aimed at younger players, and the as-yet-unseen battle mode.

Gamers at the show can also try out the upcoming Kirby Mirror for GBA, with its four-Kirby cooperative gameplay.  Nintendo will also be promoting and selling eReader Cards for Rockman EXE 4 (Mega Man Battle Network 4), Mario Advance 4, and F-Zero: Falcon Tradition at the show.  Three F-Zero GX cars will also be avialable to download to a GC memory card.

The World Hobby Fair will visit Osaka, Nagoya, Tokyo, and Fukuhar.  For more details, see Nintendo's: Japanese site.


Jonathan says: I'm looking forward to learning about the new battle mode in Four Swords Plus.  And what is this Kirby Mirror?  Sounds like it could be yet another connectivity game for four players.

Hmm, are you guys sure the name of Tetra's Trackers will indeed still be "Tetra's Trackers"? Hopefully. I heard somewhere it would be changed to Navi's Trackers, which really wouldn't make much sense, as everyone loves Tetra and hates Navi, though she probably is more widely recognized. Anyway, what I'm trying to get at is, that I'm not buying this game without Tetra and her sexy eyes!
Nintendo games are like a well made cheese in a lot of ways.

Yeah, you guys are right.  Just slipped TYP's mind, and mine as well.  I'll go back and correct it.
