Wii Motion Control Games for the Switch
Link’s Crossbow Training
If we can’t have the Zelda game that made people mad, maybe we could have the Zelda game that made people apathetic?
This offshoot (pun) of Twilight Princess came bundled with the Wii Zapper, and played pretty much as you’d expect: As Link, you fired arrows at targets, Stalfos and Bokoblins in an effort to achieve the highest score and claim a glorious platinum medal.
It was rightfully deemed as being too short, with some publications giving the single player an approximate completion time of one hour. This, coupled with the absence of an official gun peripheral for the Switch, surely makes it an unlikely candidate for revisiting, right?
Yeah, probably. I apologize for wasting your time. No, not at all!
For you see, the Switch has Labo in its back pocket, and after all of the mystique surrounding its release, it’s gone pretty quiet on the cardboard front.
In general, there has been something of a divide between Labo and Nintendo’s more prominent franchises, save for an update that provided Vehicle Kit functionality to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Closing that gap with one of the most iconic gaming mascots of all time? It’s money in the bank, and still appropriate for all ages, so long as you design the Toy-Con in a way that it doesn’t resemble an actual gun. I’d buy it. Then I’d tell my neighbor to buy it, effectively doubling the sales.
