Following a PEGI rating in May, the Mighty Switch Force! Collection for Switch and multiple other platforms has now been confirmed. The collection will launch digitally on 25th July, for a total of $19.99.
As already revealed, it will include four games in one. You can expect Mighty Switch Force!, Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition, Mighty Switch Force! 2, and Mighty Switch Force! Academy.
The last title (Academy) was previously a Steam exclusive and is a part party, part puzzle action game on a single screen. In the other games, players take control of the cybernetic law enforcer Patricia Wagon as she works her way through various side-scrolling puzzle platform challenges.
Here's what WayForward creator director Matt Bozen had to say about the announcement:
“Fans have been asking to see more of Mighty Switch Force! for a while now, so we’re very happy to finally answer those requests and bring the series to current platforms. With four games’ worth of content for less than $20, Mighty Switch Force! Collection will have more action, challenge, and savings than you can throw an Ugly Twitching Dog at!
Key features:
- Four fantastic games in one: Mighty Switch Force!, Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition, Mighty Switch Force! 2, and Mighty Switch Force! Academy
- Use your Siren Helmet to switch around level layouts and solve tricky puzzles!
- Blast enemies with your Pellet Shooter and extinguish flames with your Infinity Dousing Apparatus!
- Encounter colorful characters like Corporal Gendarmor, Ugly Twitching Dog, and Ugly Secret Baby!
- Avoid hazards and interact with elements like Launch Blocks and Force Field Blocks to navigate more than 70 levels!
- Aim for the fastest time! Perfect for speedrunners!
- Up to four players can join in locally in Mighty Switch Force! Academy!
- Newly added HD Rumble effects on Nintendo Switch!

I have two of them on 3DS. Really fun games!
Lol with names like these you think they would've hit this system long ago!
Four for the price of one? You listening Capcom? Wait they're not... They never listen.
I don't normally play platformers, but I loved playing the first two on the 3ds.
"Alright just gotta embed the video into this Switch article..."
Inserts PS4 version trailer
"Break time!"
The YouTube channel Switchforce is sure to cover this
Oh man! Great games, but my 3DS versions will suffice. Love how they use the 3D effect.
Loved the first one and HyperDrive Edition! Never played the other two. Might pick this up just to try them.
@Kal_ Your comment made me laugh - I've swapped the trailer now.
@N8tiveT3ch - They're too busy testing the waters to see if it's safe enough to test the waters for testing.
I died when I saw "A franchise so monumental they named a game console after it."
Definite day one purchase.
Awesome. I love Mighty Switch Force and will definitely grab this.
Very happy about this news. Both Mighty Switch Force, its Wii U Hyper Drive Edition, and its sequel are actually some of my favorite games on 3DS and Wii U. Nice to see them with Academy in one package.
Yay I was waiting for this! Haven't played Hyper Drive or Academy but the first two are great and worth replaying.
I hope the voice actress got payed a decent amount for this...even if she just says "collection" for the title screen
I have the 1st game on 3DS. It was pretty good, for what I played.
I CANNOT CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT
@RedderRugfish I ironically have that game pak. never did complete Rocket power on it.
AWWWW YUSS! Hose me down, because I'm hot for this game!
NICE I'VE BEEN WANTING TO PLAY THESE FOR A WHILE WAIT WHY IS MY CAPS LOCK STILL ON
WayForward is way awesome, definitely getting this for sure.
@RedderRugfish The GBA? Everyone knows it was the Sega Genesis that started this collection-a-thon and not only that they did it better by giving you six games instead of four.
@retro_player_22 @RedderRugfish
I humbly present the Xonox double-ender Atari 2600 cartridge for the win:

Can I just say Amen brother
@retro_player_22 Does piracy count on this fight? Because on the golden days around here in brazil piracy was ungodly strong and we had lots of a bunch in one catridges on GBC and GBA. On PC it was a whole another level with CDs with 100s of old games.
By bunch in one in GBC and GBA I mean like a lot. Like 20+ and all.
Awesome did like the first one, going to try the rest also day one for me
No Hose It Down!?

I’d like to see a level creator game one day.
@Bass_X0 Mighty Switch Force 2 is hose it down.
@RedderRugfish You're a more patient man than I am then.
Great. I only played the first two ones on 3DS, but those ones are really good.
More platforming puzzle action with perky blonde criminals for everyone!!
I’m surprised this doesn’t include Mighty Flip Champs from DSiWare. That game is just going to get lost to time eventually.
It was great, so maybe someday WayForward will bring that back too.
@imgrowinglegs I'm guessing the problem with Mighty Flip Champs may be the dual screens, not sure how they would change it for a console. Mighty Milky Way is missing too but that wasn't as fun.
Think I'll be buying depending on how much it costs. Hyper Drive Edition is my favourite so far.
@wazlon Ah, yeah. You’re right. I haven’t played Flip in years, so I kinda forgot about the main gameplay hook. I just remembered loving it.
Oops!
@retro_player_22 I used to have the 6 Pak. I usually only played Golden Axe though
@imgrowinglegs You're making me want to dig out my DSi and play Might Flip Champs now, it's a great game.
