DS

Nintendo wants to ensure that their fans are aware of The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition. That’s why Eiji Aonuma sent out a SpotPass notification to 3DS owners recently. Along with a message on Four Swords, Aonuma also mentioned that he hopes fans will purchase Zelda: Skyward Sword in November.

Aonuma’s lengthy notification:

Hello everyone,

This is Eiji Aonuma, the producer of the Zelda series at Nintendo. I hope you will all go to the Nintendo eShop and download The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition, which is one of the titles in our Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary celebration. The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition is a powered-up version of The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords for Game Boy Advance, the first multiplayer game in the Zelda series.

It is a free download game to everyone who has a Nintendo 3DS, a Nintendo DSi, or a Nintendo DSi XL!

The best-selling video game system in U.S. history reached another milestone in September: Lifetime sales of the Nintendo DS™ family of systems have surpassed 50 million units, according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States.

“The Nintendo DS forever changed the gaming landscape, and the fact that consumers continue to embrace the platform is a testament to its value and mass appeal,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Our hand-held story continues with the Nintendo 3DS system, which just had its second consecutive month of growth and enters its first holiday season with a monster lineup of games, including Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7.”
