This year is WayForward's 25th Anniversary, a notable landmark for a studio that's among the elite of active eShop developers, particularly. Of course, it did plenty of retail games in past generations, while its Shantae and Mighty Switch Force franchises have been key to its success in more recent years.
The studio is currently busy at work on Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, of course, but some recent tweets seem to be teasing a fresh entry in the MSF series. You can judge for yourself from the tweet below.
It certainly seems like teasing a new release to us, though we're hoping it'll be a dedicated portable or home console release; there's always the dreaded prospect of smart device spin-offs. If it does transpire to be a third full MSF title, though, that'd likely generate plenty of hype.
Are you hoping to see the Mighty Switch Force franchise continue?

Well, I haven't played the first two but the more games the better!
Hell yes. I thought the first 2 were generally underrated and are some of the best games on the eshop. I'd buy another one in a second. Hope they make it a bit longer/bigger though.
I'm pretty sure I had my school photo taken in front of that background in third grade.
It was a radical era.
You had me at Mighty Switch Force. My money is in my right hand right now as we speak.
Hope its a Nintendo release. They did do a mobile game after 2 after all....
I own the first two but haven't had a chance to give them a go yet. They look amazing so another game in the Mighty series is certainly welcome.
I prefer to play safe and fear it's gonna be some smartphone or smartwatch app, but my hype and excitment are ready in case they'll confirm it's a 3DS or Wii U game!
Patty as a school marm? Yes, please.
Looks cute, looking forward to it.
I have both MSF games but only played the first one. It was enjoyable. I'd pick up a third one without even playing it if it was as reasonably priced as the other two. One thing that got me is how the file size is so different between MSF1 & 2.
Excellent! I loved the first two.
I've wanted more from this series ever since I finished MSF2, so another game sounds great.
I hope it's a third main entry ala MFS 1. I loooove that game, one of my favorite on the eShop
They're both fantastic, so a third entry would be much appreciated.
Right now, I'm imagining the Hooligan Sisters in school outfits... and that thought alone is enough to sell me on whatever this is.
However, I kinda can't shake the feeling that this is more like an internship project or a visitor day of sorts that is themed around Mighty Switch Force, and possibly involves assisting in creating content for a new entry. Just a hunch, though...
Well, there's a listing for a "Mighty Switch Force! Academy" on the Steam Database...
1 and 2 are just behind The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds as my favorite 3DS games, so I'm definitely looking forward to more if this turns out to be true.
Mighty (back to)School Force!
As long as I can punt a baby I'm buying this.
I am curious. Hopefully we find out soon what it is! The "Mighty" games are awesome!
I've always said that I wish we could learn more about Patty's history and her world. Maybe this "Academy" project will finally be the game to do it? Though, I know it's a long shot, but a backstory would be cool to see in comic or animated format over a game, at least once.
Yes please. Love these games and I hope whatever this is comes to Wii U.
i keep thinking of getting this every time, i see it at the Eshop!
It's easy to convince people to play the Mighty Switch Force games. You just have to post the main theme

I thought Mighty Switch Force was pretty good, if a bit overrated imo. I'd be happy if the gameplay was different than the first game, or if was just an entry in the overarching Mighty series rather than the MSF sub series.
This series has been labelled as both "overrated" and "underrated" in the same comments section. Pretty interesting.
interesting. I like both games, so I might get a third, if that is what it is.
I love these games. I'm going through Shantae and The Pirates Curse at the moment as well. Enjoyable game.
