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.

The Wii U isn’t Watch Dogs’ lead SKU, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be a lesser experience on Nintendo’s console. According to senior producer Dominic Guay, all versions will feature the same kinds of social features.

“So the connectivity between players with mobile devices, the way you can control the city, the immersion, all those are core and on any platforms we’re going to ship on we’re going to make sure we nail those pillars down.”

Watch Dogs is “already running” on Wii U, thanks to the porting work of Ubisoft Bucharest (Romania). The team previously developed the PC version of Assassin’s Creed III and helped out on Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.

As of now, the team is thinking about how the GamePad can best be implemented into the experience.

“We’re still investigating how we’ll use the tablet on the Wii U, but with the things I mentioned before, for us it’s not going to be a weird stretch. It’s natural. What’s really cool with Watch Dogs, when we start thinking of those devices, it’s not a weird abstraction, it’s not like I’m a space alien and now I’m using a tablet. Why am I doing that? Aiden Pearce is using a device to control the city, so it’s quite easy to imagine what we could do with that.”

A group of people are in the process of recreating Super Mario 64 in Minecraft. The results thus far are pretty darn impressive.

We’ve posted a few photos from the project above. You can find even more images here and keep track of progress here.

Consumers can purchase the Wii U Pro Controller from Amazon for $40.77. It normally retails for $50, so you’d be saving nearly $10 – close to 20%.

WayForward isn’t quite ready to provide a blowout of information for Mighty Switch Force 2, but director Austin Ivansmith did share a few nuggets on the latest “Sup, Holmes?” show.

Mighty Switch Force 2 will see the return of Patricia Wagon. But this time around, it seems as though she could be heading down a new career path. Jake “Virt” Kaufman will be in charge of the game’s soundtrack once again.

For now, Mighty Switch Force 2 has a tentative Q1/Q2 release date. Pricing will be “reasonable” and “in the ballpark of the original”.

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:

WayForward’s Austin Ivansmith has confirmed Mighty Switch Force 2. The news was announced during the latest “Sup Holmes” show. After making an appearance on Wii U, the Switch Force series will be returning to the 3DS.

A release date for Might Switch Force 2 hasn’t been set. It is, however, due in just a few months. Look out for more news “in the coming weeks.”
