Four Swords Adventures - E3 2004 Trailer |

Released during E3 2004, this video showed what most people knew already. The game was scheduled for release in June and this trailer served no better than just as advertisement during the big event. It's a cute video anyway, though. This video is a .mov file and was taken from the official Nintendo.com website.
