Nintendo's Japanese website reveals which games it will display on the 19th.

Nintendo will be showing off its multiplayer muscles at this year's World Hobby Fair, starting January 19th in Osaka. Nintendo will promote the already-released Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Party 5 with ongoing competitions. Winners will earn stamps in order to redeem special Nintendo prizes. Attendees can also compete against others in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Plus, the GameCube sequel to the 4-player GBA game on display at E3 last year. Three different modes will be on display; the winner after all three modes will take home a Link figurine in the style of The Wind Waker. The game's three modes are Hyrule Adventure, which looks and plays like A Link to the Past with four players, Navi's Trackers, which is a scavenger hunt aimed at younger players, and the as-yet-unseen battle mode.

Gamers at the show can also try out the upcoming Kirby Mirror for GBA, with its four-Kirby cooperative gameplay. Nintendo will also be promoting and selling eReader Cards for Rockman EXE 4 (Mega Man Battle Network 4), Mario Advance 4, and F-Zero: Falcon Tradition at the show. Three F-Zero GX cars will also be avialable to download to a GC memory card.

The World Hobby Fair will visit Osaka, Nagoya, Tokyo, and Fukuhar. For more details, see Nintendo's: Japanese site.
