Nintendo Allows Players To Blacklist Troublemakers In The Legend Of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes

Thats awesome. I was tellin my brother we gotta look out for trolls.

And yes, I probably will. The demos been a blast.

I love how it words them as false heroes. Keeping in with the Zelda universe

However, do note that tapping the icon and pressing A or B only temporarily puts them on the blacklist. After the stage is over, you can permanently put them on the list.

Also, you can only have 100 people on your blacklist. Any additions after that will delete your oldest ones.

Good. Keep those trolls away from me.

@DarthNocturnal
It's a classic Nintendo way of not having voice chat available for anyone.

@Spectra_Twilight
To not accidentally add someone to the list. So they make it a little harder/inconvenient..

An even better strategy is to group players on a high number of blacklists with each other in online matchups so the trolls can wreck each other's games instead of people who actually want to cooperate.

@Spectra_Twilight
But what if you confirm your temporary blacklist a week later or longer. You'll forget which one should be blacklisted and which one is not. You might end up blacklisting the ones you accidentally marked.

Edit:
but then it's better than going to the list and unblock the one you accidentally add to the list

Nice see you guys online tomorrow !

Wow, that's interesting and while it does make sense, it feels so un-Nintendo of them to do. But I guess even they have learned about trolls by now.

Now, only if you could incorporate something similar in Splatoon. Not just for players but also for arenas. Like have there be three instead of two arenas every four hours and give the players the option to individually mark one of these arenas so it'll never appear when said individual is playing.

"You can register up to one hundred players on your blacklist". It's a great idea. However, I'm pretty sure that number is not going to be high enough.

@Wilford111 yeah. the fact it is actually mentioned in the game is great.

@StarDust4Ever I love it! Awesome idea, lol!! I'd pay money to see/watch trolls turn into ugly, whiny, crybabies when their own kind troll them back! Golden, just golden!

You can't stop the Blacklist! pulls out live grenade

This good but can we also do this for other games in the future like for Super Smash Bros or Splatoon?!

Definitely useful, though I won't be playing online a whole lot until my internet situation improves.

@Luffymcduck

I hate voice chat anyways. You always get that one dude who either takes the game WAY to seriously, or is just a jerk and cusses like a sailor for no good reason. Personally, I don't want to listen to that. People are just obnoxious.

@Trinexx

Same. Getting 2g of data currently, and in a house with 12 internet using individuals, online gaming is all but impossible. I don't know why we even OWN Splatoon, as we can't even play it.

If I do use the online multiplayer with random people rather than two friends, I expect to use this option a lot. Not just for trolls, but also players who can't get a clue and drag us down.

I feel the same as others about the limit, though. They're greatly underestimating the amount of undesirable players online.

@Spectra_Twilight
LOL I don't know why we're even debating why they chose those buttons to mark someone. It's either they chose it to avoid accidental blacklisting or the simple fact that A and B buttons are easier to remember. Why not L or R shoulder buttons? Because maybe to some players it could also mean Left or Right DPad buttons.

Lol. Good even if I won't use it is still nice.

@J-Manix98 The area I live in is pretty rural. We're even lucky to be able to get broadband internet, which at least doesn't have the low data caps imposed by wireless and satellite internet providers. Unfortunately, the lines are way oversold, so doing things online in the evenings (gaming, streaming, etc.) is virtually impossible. I'm paying for 6 MB/s, but I'm lucky to get even 1MB.

For more information, look up any and all complaints for Frontier Communications. XD

@Trinexx

Well we are just far enough off the road for Comcast not to throw in a free installation of the new cables. They usually don't charge for that when you buy a plan, but since we are more than 500 feet away from the road they want us to pay an extra $1,000+. It's a total rip off. I might have paraphrased the exact details a bit, but that's the gist of it.

In other words, I can sympathize with you man. That's why I'm on a retro gaming spree right now! Lol! (FFVII, Fire Emblem, Chrono Trigger, LInk to the past, all that good stuff.)

That's cool to know.

That is great because so many people are jerks on the internet. At least you can filter out those people.

Lets not talk too much about this blacklist. Sam Fisher might catch wind, and I really dont want him crashing my Zeldaverse.

Also... Lol. Hopefully I'll be playing with friends too much to really worry about blocking players. There were a few times during the fire level in the demo I really wanted to shout advice at the other players. Not in a vicious way, but there isn't enough emotions.

@VR32F1END Hey, like I said above, you can't stop the Blacklist!

I think you and I were the only ones to make a Splinter Cell joke in here.

@Gigyas_95

Yours was more subtle. Lol. But high five! Did you like the game? I loved it personally, but wasn't crazy about the ending. I just wished theyd fix the app so I can upload my scores and get those items.

Nevermind the blacklist, what about the lag?! I was finally on a winning team when the connection to the server crapped out on me!

who give me a code pleaseeee [email protected] plz plz plz

@VR32F1END I loved the game (still play it now and then). Yeah, the ending I wasn't crazy about either. I felt like there should have been one more mission to wrap up the last attack (sort of like the last mission in Pandora Tomorrow).
