I'd agree perhaps if you were referring to Crystal Chronicles, which didn't really justify its need for GBA's, but 4 Swords would not even be the same game if the players didn't use handheld systems as controllers. The entire multiplayer gameplay mechanic is built around the idea of having one shared screen but additional private screens so that you can split up in different situations. That's what made it so ingenious; I'd love to see more local multiplayer games that take advantage of this idea. I've been waiting for it since the Wii's launch, as the DS and Wii don't even need extra cables to hook up (and I'm not a Pokemon fan, so that arena game doesn't interest me). If only Nintendo had waited for this generation to push its "connectivity" idea; it would catch on much better without the extra cables requirements, etc.
On that note, where's my Pac Man Vs. WiiWare release with DS connectivity?
