Mighty Switch Force! 2 could make its way to the Wii U much like its predecessor.

Speaking with Nintendo Force this month, WayForward’s Matt Bozon said that the studio will “certainly look into it.” But don’t expect a Wii U version immediately – “it would have to be at a later date”, according to Bozon.

“For now, Shantae is taking the front seat. If we did MSF2 in HD, it would have to be at a later date. However many fans have been asking us to consider deploying the pixel-based 3DS game to Wii U. That’s possible, so we’ll certainly look into it.”

Mighty Switch Force! originally started out as a 3DS eShop game. Nearly a year later, WayForward ended up bringing an HD version to Wii U in time for the console’s launch.


Rumor has it that Nintendo Network ID functionality will be expanded to the 3DS. News about the account system, as well as Hulu support for the platform, is allegedly due later this year.

The speculation comes from Emily Rogers, who has maintained a fairly decent track record when it comes to Nintendo rumors.

Rogers tweeted a short while ago:


The Wii U currently incorporates a Nintendo Network ID, which connects to the Nintendo Network. It is used for Miiverse and friend mechanics.

A Hat in Time’s developer has been pushing to get its game on the Wii U. As far as the specifics go, creator Jonas Kaerlev and his studio Gears for Breakfast needs to obtain a license to port the game over, as it’s made in Unreal.

Gears for Breakfast is currently in talks with Epic Games to work out a deal. Additionally, Kaerlev confirmed to Polygon that the team is talking with a separate publisher about using their license in exchange for a “cut of the cake.” Gears for Breakfast has also been in touch with Nintendo so that it can become a licensed publisher on Wii U.

D3Publisher’s initial announcement for Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby in 8-bit Land contained story details, but didn’t say much about gameplay. Thankfully, Amazon has come through with a bit of information.

Mordecai and Rigby in 8-bit Land offers a mix of action adventure, platforming, arcade shooting. As expected, you’ll play as Mordecai and Rigby, and as previously announced, series creator J. G. Quintel is on board to write an original storyline.

Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby in 8-bit Land also features 8-bit graphics – something that the title obviously suggests.

Amazon is listing a tentative October 29 release date and $29.99 price point for Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby in 8-bit Land. You can pre-order the game here.
