Mighty Switch Force won’t be the only WayForward title for the eShop. CEO John Beck has said that the store “will be a major part of our strategy for handheld games going forward.”
Beck told Gamasutra:
“When you have certain content that is available exclusively on dedicated gaming devices, it really helps to set that content apart. The eShop will be a major part of our strategy for handheld games going forward.”
Will WayForward make a Mighty Switch Force sequel? Will they make a completely original game? Only time will tell!
It looks like Activision has rights to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles license. This means they’re in a position to make games based on the IP.
The photo above, taken at Toy Fair 2012, implies that we might be seeing a TMNT title from Activision in the future. Activision would be partnering up with Nickelodeon – the main license holder – to make this happen.
As it turns out, the speculated European release date for Dillon’s Rolling Western didn’t come directly from MCVUK. Nintendo actually placed an ad inside the magazine, which makes the rumor much more credible. It’d be odd to see Dillon’s Rolling Western on the eShop given how little attention its received in recent weeks, but I wouldn’t complain if it happened!
