The latest issue of Nintendo Power revealed that WayForward Technologies plans to launch Mighty Switch Force HD for the Wii U's eShop.

A summary from that Nintendo website:

Quote:

- aiming to be at launch
- sprites being redrawn
- game includes the 'bonus incident' DLC from eShop update
- may include new content as well
- new games separate from Mighty Switch Force HD in the planning phases for Wii U and 3DS
- GamePad screen displays the Hooligan Tracker
- play the game just on the Wii U GamePad, which will feature a shrunken-down Hooligan Tracker

Nice - already looks great on 3DS and will look even better in HD.

Zeer0id · (07-02-2012, 07:36 PM)

aaaaawesome

I've been considering grabbing MSF for a while but I think I'm just gonna wait now.

Bulzeeb · (07-02-2012, 07:37 PM)

now I need to pick one, HD or 3D thats the question =/

brinstar · (07-02-2012, 07:37 PM)

I literally just bought the 3DS version :(

Duane Cunningham · (07-02-2012, 07:37 PM)

Good news, MSF is a great game, and more people should play it.

Also good news if it's that easy to create "Universal Apps" for the Nintendo platforms.

Drago · 07:44 PM

Holy shit mini-megaton!

Day 1

Sadist · (07-02-2012, 07:39 PM)

Oh sweet, heard a lot of good things about it.

ActStriker · (07-02-2012, 07:40 PM)

Hope there actually is new content

MigueelDnd · (07-02-2012, 07:41 PM)

Even though the redrawn sprites are looking great, I prefer to have 3D over HD. I hope they include new content, that way people who already bought it have an incentive to buy it again.

oh, it's great! it's just hilarious because I had been unintentionally holding off on it for a while and then when I finally pull the trigger this was announced.

either way I'll be double dipping

SalsaShark · (07-02-2012, 07:43 PM)

fuckin awesome

backlot · (07-02-2012, 07:45 PM)

I'll double dip on this. I loved Mighty Switch Force on 3DS. Glad to see WayForward is going to support the Wii U.

Why be unhappy about it? Wayforward make awesome games and have a great rapport with fans. These guys deserve your money.

Me too. +1 for a double dip.

Jaded Alyx · (07-02-2012, 07:48 PM)

That's...nice i guess.

I got bored with the 3DS version fairly quickly.

Somnid · 08:07 PM

Now they need to get Nintendo to let them support some sort of cross-platform buy-once game license.

Bulzeeb · (07-02-2012, 07:55 PM)

this is something I can support

KillerTravis · (07-02-2012, 07:56 PM)

Niiice, the eShop list is getting better.

Veal · (07-02-2012, 08:06 PM)

I'm in derr. Can't wait to hear Vert's soundtrack blasting through my speakers!

Hero · (07-02-2012, 08:07 PM)

This is probably because they couldn't get Shantae in time for Wii U eShop launch, huh?

Looked interesting, I was going to get on 3DS but I'll wait for Wii U.

NateDrake · (07-02-2012, 08:08 PM)

The Wii U eShop is off to a good start with this and Shantae planned.

Why would you do that? · 08:13 PM

Aaah, so that explains:

Quote:

ND: Have you released games on any other digital distribution service?

Voldi: The only other one was– well iOS obviously, we did Shantae last year on Andriod. It’s only out in Korea and Japan now, weirdly, but we’re working on the US version too. And it was only because the publisher XSEED came to us and said, “Hey, can we ship Shantae in Japan and Korea? We’ll do the port,” and we’re like, “Sure.” And then, um, I think Might Switch Force is– we’re trying to get that on, it’s just– actually, I’m surprised we haven’t done that already. Oh, and then we did Mighty Flip Champs for PSP, but mostly Nintendo.

That was eating away at me as I read the interview. Pretty cool.

I agree. I'll probably buy it again, though, just to support it, I guess.

walking fiend · (07-02-2012, 08:11 PM)

Why announce this early and kill the sales of 3DS version? Man, some of these smaller devs have no idea...

Hiltz · 08:21 PM

okay. I'll resize it in a few min.

SalsaShark · (07-02-2012, 08:12 PM)

you might wanna edit that Hiltz..

:(

olimpia84 · (07-02-2012, 08:13 PM)

I still haven't bought the 3DS version so I might just wait and get this one instead :)

ActStriker · (07-02-2012, 08:13 PM)

Mighty Switch Force has been out since December.

Brazil · (07-02-2012, 08:13 PM)

There's a very simple reason why stuff like that is never in the OP, Hiltz.

Gambit · (07-02-2012, 08:14 PM)

^Hope it's very different as I've completed MSF just last week (within the time limits).

Great, great game, but there has to be new stuff to make me double-dip.

KillerTravis · (07-02-2012, 08:18 PM)

I saw the scans and it looks great! Now I know I will double dip.

Nocturnowl · (07-02-2012, 08:19 PM)

Damn I was hoping it was a new game, still i'm intrigued as I love MSF, may include more content? well it would certainly help sway me towards double dipping.

walking fiend · (07-02-2012, 08:19 PM)

well, even 1 day of sales should count; we probably are 4 months away from Wii U launch.

someone tips off Hiltz :( poor guy

Man the main character is so damned adorable. With those big angry anime eyes and being pigeon toed. Just so fucking cute.

OT, probably won't double dip. I have the 3DS version, plus the DLC levels (which were awesome), and really, I'd just like some more levels. Maybe even a level editor.

Resizing them isnt the issue, uploading them is.

You can't post scans. It has nothing to do with the size of it.

Get rid of that.

Looks pretty damn cool!

Why would you do that? · (07-02-2012, 08:28 PM)

You should probably edit your quote. lol Don't want to get poor Hiltz in trouble.

It looks... about the same, I guess. I'm sure it'll look nice on the big screen.

NateDrake · (07-02-2012, 08:28 PM)

Nintendo Power has an image of it on their website as a preview of the new issue.

MatthewB92 · (07-02-2012, 08:28 PM)

Will rebuy lol.

HyperHip · (07-02-2012, 08:29 PM)

My only beef with this game was that i felt there wasn't a good balance between puzzles and fighting segments. Cool game overall though.

Why would you do that? · 08:33 PM

Oh you're right.

It looks pretty great here.

Chacranajxy · (07-02-2012, 08:32 PM)

Huh... I was really close to buying the 3DS version too. Guess I'll wait.

That looks yummy.

Edit: No, really, this sold me a Wii U.

GeekyDad · (07-02-2012, 08:37 PM)

Should be sweet for WiiU owners. Not getting one myself, but I imagine this will look darn purty.

Well nothing guarantees this will be the "definitive" version. 3DS version still has some of the best use of the device's 3D.
