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!

Gunfire Reborn: The Indie Game That Continues to Captivate!

Gunfire Reborn’s longevity (in my opinion) can be attributed to its continued support and the developers dedication to its player base. I remember when there were only two playable characters... and they added on over time! Despite some people feeling that the cute, furry anime characters in this multiplayer FPS with RPG and rogue-lite elements give it a child-like feel, that's precisely part of its charm. I even had a hater throw shade my way for playing the game during the review window, but it got a hard shrug because... the game is fun when you and your team set out on your adventure. Gunfire Reborn stands out in the genre with a more anime visual style that sets it apart from more realistic titles.

If parents are wary of games like "Call of Duty" or "Battlefield" due to their realism, "Gunfire Reborn" offers an excellent alternative. It's rated T for Teen, and while I’m not certain about the age range of its player base, it's clear that Duoyi Games has found their tribe, allowing their indie dev team to keep the doors open with a game that lacks blood, gore, and more.

The official launch of "Gunfire Reborn" was on November 17, 2021. Now in its fourth season, the game boasts at least ten playable characters to choose from. If you haven't played it yet or want to introduce your teen to a different title, this game is available for $15 on PC until the end of January 2025. The system requirements are low, so you likely won’t need any hardware upgrades (but if you do... you really needed that upgrade). It’s also available on PlayStation, Xbox, iOS, Google Play, and Android APK with millions of copies sold. Since they crossed the 2.5 million copy mark in 2023... I assume its over 3 million copies sold by now, and I mention that because the player base is stronger than when I initially jumped in. If you're a veteran or haven't played in awhile, check out the new characters, weapons, and tweaks to the gameplay mechanics. Compare the gameplay above to the new additions seen in the gameplay you see here:

Stay tuned for more, and as always... game on!
