Why "The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes" Deserves a Remake on Nintendo Switch 2

One game that truly deserves a remaster or, ideally, a complete remake for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 is... "The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes"! Before we jump in, here's a blast from the past:

 A Unique and Cooperative Adventure 

Originally released for the Nintendo 3DS, "Tri Force Heroes" brought a novel twist to the Zelda series with its cooperative multiplayer gameplay. Three players team up, each taking on the role of a different-colored Link, to navigate ingenious dungeons and tackle formidable bosses. The iconic Totem mechanic, which allows the heroes to stack on top of one another, added a refreshing + frustratingly funny layer of strategy, enabling players to reach new heights and solve intricate puzzles.

 Collecting and Crafting 

In addition to its engaging gameplay, "Tri Force Heroes" introduced a loot system that allowed players to gather materials and craft unique outfits. Each outfit provided distinct boosts and abilities, enhancing the overall experience and adding a layer of customization that fans adored.

 Potential for New Content 

Given its innovative gameplay and charming visual style reminiscent of "A Link Between Worlds," a remastered or remade version on the Nintendo Switch 2 could offer even more excitement. Imagine periodic content updates, introducing new adventures and downloadable content (DLC) that keep the game fresh and engaging over time. This approach could extend the game’s lifespan, ensuring a larger player base and continuous enjoyment.

 Leveraging Nintendo Switch 2 Technology 

Utilizing the advanced technology of the Nintendo Switch 2, the game could feature enhanced graphics, smoother gameplay, and additional modes. Furthermore, integrating offline play between systems alongside the existing online multiplayer would make for an unbeatable combination, catering to various player preferences. This would be a great way to get more gamers out of the house with others to play together while enjoying adventures with Link. This is even better because you can actually talk to each other and strategize.

In short, "The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes" has the potential to be a standout title on the Nintendo Switch 2, offering both nostalgic value and innovative improvements. Whether you're a returning fan or new to the game, this remake could bring countless hours of cooperative fun and adventure. It certainly did on the Nintendo 3DS. That said, game on!

Nintendo Switch 2: A True Successor? + Hands-On Experience!

The Nintendo Switch 2 (NS2) is set to put it's stamp on the gaming world with its innovative features and commendable specs. As we eagerly await its official release, let's dive into what makes this next-gen console a true successor to the original Nintendo Switch (NS1). After the first look trailer:

For the record, it feels like this was put out as a way to bring the axe down on assumptions.

By the way, if I were Nintendo... when it came to the design on the new logo, I would've made it a bit more cohesive and put an LED light on deck to light up the "2" on the dock and the controller attachment. So whenever the Switch 2 console is slid into the docking station to game on the TV... it would light up the "2" on the docking station. Also, whenever the Joy-con's are connected to the controller attachment, the 2 would light up on the controller attachment. The design isn't atrocious or anything like that, it's just not as cohesive... and if I had anything to do with it... this is how I would've done it. 

While detailed specifications are still under wraps, here’s what we know so far:

• Design: The NS2 boasts a larger screen and Joy-Cons that attach magnetically, ensuring a solid and secure connection.
• Display: Rumors suggest an 8-inch LCD screen, though this hasn't been confirmed.
• Processor: Leaks indicate it might feature an Nvidia T239 Ampere GPU with 1534 CUDA cores.
• Memory: Expected to have 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM.
• Performance: In handheld mode, the GPU clocks at 561 MHz, while in docked mode, it reaches 1007.25 MHz.

Backwards Compatibility

Nintendo has made a smart move by incorporating backwards compatibility into the NS2... because no one wants to part with their library and start all over. However, not all games may be supported or fully compatible, so let's keep your fingers crossed. This could be a strategic decision to clear the way for the next installment of games with huge online players bases.

Design

One of the standout features of the NS2 (to me) is its improved stand. Drawing what appears to be inspiration from drawing tablets, the adjustable stand promises to deliver far better stability. Additionally, the possibility of a Switch Stylus could transform the NS2 into a true drawing tablet as well, and would increase the justification of the purchase for the artists in the room. The Nintendo 3DS had one, but this could literally take it to another level, and I can't help but wonder if there might be one housed in a spring loaded chamber next to the volume controls.

The Joy-Cons have also seen significant improvements. The extended connection ensures a secure fit, eliminating looser feel of the original Switch. The new design allows for easier use of the SL, SR, and the newly added shoulder buttons.

Not sure what type of audio we'll have with the new handheld, but if it delivers a virtual surround sound experience... that would be badass.

Upcoming Events

Nintendo is set to reveal more details during a Nintendo Direct presentation on April 2, 2025. Following the presentation, you can experience the Nintendo Switch 2 firsthand at various locations:

• New York, NY**: April 4-6, 2025
• Los Angeles, CA**: April 11-13, 2025
• Dallas, TX**: April 25-27, 2025
  
  

Considering the ongoing fires in LA, it might have been wiser to shift the event to Las Vegas, NV, or here to... Orlando, FL, especially at Universal Studios City Walk, to prepare for Super Nintendo World at Universal Epic Universe opening on May 22, 2025 (or have it in LA & Orlando). It really makes us scratch our heads at times when it comes to who makes these decisions but... it is what it is.

Other locations include:

• Paris
• London
• Berlin
• Milan
• Toronto
• Tokyo
• Amsterdam
• Madrid
• Melbourne
• Seoul

Stay tuned for more updates and get ready to embark on a new gaming adventure with the Nintendo Switch 2!
