After hands-on time, Triforce Heroes feels a potentially worthy Zelda spin-off [RPG Site]

RPG Site Writes: "The demo we played did a great deal to kill my skepticism about the concept of the game - we had great fun with Triforce Heroes, the three of us shouting out instructions to each other, getting frustrated, and at one point deliberately killing each other. It scratches that classic Nintendo itch in that it's just damn good fun.

The worry with Triforce Heroes sits with the execution - the core of the game is three-player only, with puzzles devised that way. If there's two of you, it's as useless as one, opening up only a competitive arena mode to you. Worse, if somebody drops out - that's a game over."

After playing this at the Best Buy demo I agree. It was challenging and very fun.

Online makes it more appealing. No friends at home. :(

Three player only? This game is going to fail hard.

"..there will be some single-player component"..

"The important thing is that the core of the game was pretty great fun, giving our crew a much-needed break to yell excitedly at each other during the middle of E3. This is one we're going to watch with interest."

Your pic suit you schiller!

It's a regular Zelda game. Not really a spin-off. What makes it unique is that is supports 3-player co-op.

You know: Wind Waker had a ship, Majora's Mask had an Ocarina, and Triforce Heroes has two other heroes.

Wrong - Factually wrong.

* You can play single player, you then control the two others via commands.

It's meant to be played EITHER single player or with 3 players.

Seems great. Nintendo actually had good to great games coming IN 2015 at E3.

While I know many of us are disappointed that it appears 2016 won't have much ... at least in 2015 .... Nintendo does have some nice exclusives on Wii U and 3DS coming.

No 2 player... why... that makes zero sense.

They should have just given us Four Swords Adventures 2. They already had a winning formula for co op, not sure why they tried to change it.
