Hardcore Gamer: The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords first found life as a bonus multiplayer-only game built into the GBA port of A Link to the Past. It was a short but enjoyable experiment in what multiplayer Zelda could look like. Two years later, a sequel by the name of Four Swords Adventures was released on the Gamecube, expanding on its predecessor’s ideas and providing a much more robust gaming experience. However, both iterations suffered from complicated connectivity requirements, which meant many gamers never experienced the games in their intended glory. In 2011, Nintendo released a free-to-download DSiWare remake of the GBA game called Four Swords Anniversary Edition, eliminating previous connectivity issues and bringing a few new levels.
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords required a GameCube and Game Boy Advances to play multiplayer, but releasing it on the Switch can fix that.
They should do a new one with the assets from A Link Between Worlds. Enough with the re-releases, remakes, and remasters. Least they could do is get their shit together and provide a new version of the Virtual Console or add all that stuff to the Online sub.

Alex S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Last week we took a look at ten games that, while great in their own right kind of represented what most people think of when they think of DSiWare; small games that offer fun, but limited experiences. And while that's definitely a defining feature of DSiWare games the service was also home to some surprisingly deep experiences that you can take on the go. And that's really what defines the best games for the service, games that went above and beyond what people expected from it."

YES! I've been saving four GBAs and four Gamecubes for just this occasion.
I honestly forgot this was a thing.
Never got the chance to play, sadly.
I would also love to see a new four swords adventure with online. It would be awesome to go on a huge 20 hour adventure with three other friends.
FSA with online play?
A thousand cries of YES PLEASE!
AGREED.
