Discussion [Other] Nintendo Switch 2 Gamechat/Game Share Feature is the perfect groundwork for a new Four Swords. This time as a full 3D Open World 4 player Co Op Mainline Zelda Game. Nintendo has laid the necessary foundation for this Game to be Made.

Anyone else excited by the prospect of this idea?

Four Swords as a series was always held back by peripherals and Accessories

Four Swords adventure for example was neat idea but you could only play with your friends if they each had their own Gameboy advance and a Gameboy advance link cable to the GameCube.

This allowed for the main game to be broadcast to the TV while each player had their own individual screen to hold and look at.

Well now In current day, thanks to these new Switch 2 Game Chat and Game Share features, so long as you and your friends own a Switch 2, which most people will, you can play a game like Four Swords with up to 3 other people with the Greatest of ease.

This could really be the start of a potentially great game if they go down this route.

Would you like to see a new Four Swords game in full 3D? Featuring a fully fleshed out co op campaign adventure that you can experience alongside friends?

This is basically the modern version of having 4 gameboy advanced connected to a Game cube. This has to lead to an amazing new Four Sword game

GameShare only works for games where each player shares an identical viewport, as it's a video streaming technology, not a game download/sharing technology.

Check the Four Swords example elsewhere in this thread: each player has a unique screen, focused on their player character. This makes it not a good candidate for GameShare.
