This Is Why You Should Watch Tri Force Heroes At This Year’s Marathon

I’ve already stated that the sleeper hit game of this year’s marathon will be Tri Force Heroes. Tri Force Heroes is a fun experimental game that is difficult to experience to it’s full potential. It’s similar in many regards to Four Swords Adventures because it requires multiple players with multiple sets of hardware to play it to maximum potential.

If you play Tri Force Heroes just as a solo experience it can be very frustrating and necessarily difficult to complete due to the Dopple mechanic. It’s tough to get two other friends to sit down and play Tri Force Heroes who are only familiar with the single player mode, and playing online can be laggy due to Internet connectivity or can be even more frustrating because other players may not take the game as seriously as you are trying to. To provide the best possible viewing experience we will be capturing three separate 3DS inputs with every player’s display being shown. We have captured all of the player’s screens for Four Swords Adventures, Four Swords, and Tetra’s Trackers but this is our first year of playing Tri Force Heroes so we want to do things in a big way! We’ve upped the amount of 3DS capture cards this year to accommodate our four player Ocarina of Time race which gives us enough capture card 3DS systems to bring Green, Blue and Red Link together for everyone to see.

Playing through the game in our practice sessions has been a ton of fun due to Tri Force Heroes natural fun factor. The levels are short enough and the puzzles aren’t too complicated to solve which makes the game offer a quick sense of satisfaction. Expect to hear a lot of jokes from our playthrough spill over to the live stream along with the usual wrestling references. The core dynamic of our team of three will be very focused on clearing the stages as fast as we can while using some stellar teamwork.

What we’re doing with Tri Force Heroes in a nutshell: We will be playing through the entire story of Tri Force Heroes. Every player’s screen will be captured on the stream and we will not be skipping any levels with fairies. We will be using costumes for certain weapon upgrades on levels.

We’ll also be doing a few other firsts this year so be sure the check out the reason why you should make time to watch our run of Twilight Princess HD and Phantom Hourglass.
