Mighty Switch Force HD coming to the Wii U
The eShop favourite Mighty Switch Force will be coming to the Wii U for launch in glorious HD. Creative director Matt Bozon at Wayforward has revealed in a new interview with Nintendo Power that the game will be brought over to the Wii U and its digital download platform for launch. “We’ve really enjoyed developing for Nintendo’s download services and really want to be there for the Wii U launch,” he told the magazine.
The Wii U version will have new redrawn HD graphics in the style of the A Boy and His Blob remake on Wii. The game will use the Game Pad’s screen much like the bottom screen of the Nintendo 3DS as a map, you will also be able to play the game on the screen too. Bozon admits this isn’t a ground-breaking use of the second screen, but you does open options for how you want to play.
Nintendo hasn’t detailed its online shopping plan for the Wii U just yet, but with a big back catalogue of WiiWare and Virtual Console titles on the shelf we’ll probably see the store available day one, no matter what it’s called.
Good to see this is coming to the Wii U, and in HD, I really enjoyed the 3DS version!
