For those that have been looking foward to the Legend of Zelda: Four Swords for the GameCube, it seems that there has been some bad news.

A lot has to do with marketing and localization. Sometimes Nintendo thinks that the American market won't like it, so they drop it; then they get upset when we import stuff.
Then, when you have games that are very heavy in Japanese language and text, it is hard to convert it to English, so they say "hell with it" and ditch the US version. Sad

This is disappointing news. I really wish that videogame companies would wake up to the fact that there is a vast market for games outside of Japan.

They could have added subtitles for this? That would have fixed the localization thing. Don't get they are always so rushy to do those HORRIBLE english voice overs. They could have just done subtext.
