Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition update on the way
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
WayForward is planning an update for Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition.
On the latest episode of “Sup, Holmes?”, Austin Ivansmith said that the studio will be addressing audio issues and “a couple of other bugs”. Ivansmith mentioned that Hyper Drive’s audio can be very loud for some players when first booting up the game.
WayForward hasn’t confirmed a release date for the update. However, once it’s ready, it’ll be available in both North America and Europe (presumably at the same time). And when it’s updated in Europe, the full game will launch in Australia.

Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition was a Wii U eShop launch title in North America and Europe (for all intents and purposes). But in Australia, the game never saw a release.
This will be changing soon, according to WayForward. Fans can expect Mighty Switch Force HD to arrive in Australia “soon”.
The developer tweeted just a few minutes ago:
And we can finally confirm that Mighty Switch Force HD will be coming to Europe and Australia. No date set just yet, but soon.

Gaijin Games says ‘Runner2’ was going to skip Wii U until they went hands-on with the console
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Gaijin Games was a staunch supporter of the Wii– and Nintendo in general– over the last generation, but believe it or not they had initially planned on skipping the Wii U with their upcoming game Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien. The following comes from an interview with NES:
– Either Alex Neuse or Mike Roush; it isn’t clarified
They weren’t always completely happy with the system, however, and they say that if they had to complain about anything it would be the way Nintendo does online. They say it “isn’t as robust as Sony or Microsoft’s”, but note that it’s “WAY better than the Wii” and in the end it’s easy enough to work with once you get the hang of it.
