[Update: It's out in North America now, too. Download away!]
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition has released in Europe and Australia, ready for download on both DSi and 3DS. The free game is available for a "limited time" only, so consider this a public service announcement!
Four Swords is a re-release of the bonus game bundled with A Link to the Past on Game Boy Advance. The four-player adventure now has a single-player mode, because there's no online feature and it seems even Nintendo knows that local handheld multiplayer barely happens outside of Japan.
Nintendo didn't mention territories when it gave us the September 28 release date, but there's currently nothing for North Americans. Either it'll happen at 9am PST, or roll over into tomorrow's online updates. We'll let you know!

Whilst I wouldn't go that far, more multiplayer based on Four Swords world be pretty cool.
Also I'll dl this when I can today.
3D Excite Bike
Pokedex 3D
10 NES games
10 GBA Games
4 Swords
And the Free built in software like
Face Raiders
Puzzle Swap/ Find Mii
Ar Games
These games may not hold your attention for the longest time, but they are free and well made.
Also I find your cheery attitude in this article questionable. Trying to win back all of the Nintendo fans you pissed off with your incessant whining?
