   I'm a sucker for WayForward games, so when I saw this on the 3DS eShop, I knew I had to get it. But, I realized that it was also available onI'm a sucker for WayForward games, so when I saw this on the 3DS eShop, I knew I had to get it. But, I realized that it was also available on Wii U, so I held off on it so that I can get it on Wii U whenever I got one. Well, when I finally did, it didn't let me down. It's a great puzzle platformer and easily one of the best Wii U eShop titles available right now. The HD graphics look so kawaii, and the bonus challenge stages add more replay value. If you already have the game on 3DS, it's up to you if you want the HD version. For some, don't bother. But if you want an extra challenge, then go ahead. 9/10… Expand

   Some might make the claim that Might Switch Force: Hyper Drive Edition is lacking in content. I have come to fully disagree with thisSome might make the claim that Might Switch Force: Hyper Drive Edition is lacking in content. I have come to fully disagree with this assessment. At first glance, the game appears minimal. I played through, what I thought, was half of the entire game in just a few hours. A couple hours later and I beat the main story to find that there were extra levels waiting for me to complete. I thought what a nice bonus it was and beat those more challenging levels a few hours later once more. Now, I have unlocked "hyper" levels. The addition of these levels have effectively multiplied the amount of levels I had previously had by two.
   
   As one plays through this astounding game with its beautiful graphics, unique and challenging gameplay he or she will constantly be stumbling on levels to complete. If you are like me, then you just can't put the controller down! The levels are not too long, but are also not so short that they are easy. They provide just the right balance of length and challenge to make you want to play more without overwhelming you or underwhelming you.
   
   Another feature that will keep players coming back for more is trying to complete a "par" on each level. To do this, one must finish the course in a designated amount of time. The game is so challenging that I have yet to be able to do this on a single level. I am curious to know what happens when I do and I will certainly keep trying.
   
   The only drawbacks in the game that I have noticed are that the enemies become bland and most do not provide any sort of challenge. The real challenge in the game is the platforming, but the badies that the main character, Patricia Wagon, has to face seem to be shoehorned into the experience. I would have like ed to see a larger variety of enemies and a greater threat level from them.
   
   Overall, I feel I made the right purchase in choosing Might Switch Force: Hyper Drive Edition and I will certainly be picking up its sequel Mighty Switch Force 2. Great gameplay mechanics, original design, keeps me coming back for more and provides a much needed challenge among the slew of less challenging games that hit store shelves in this day and age. Well done Wayforward, I will have to check out some more of their games in the future.… Expand

   Cheap, it has gorgeous visuals and the strong gameplay may keep you busy for a while. However, there aren't many reasons to replay the gameCheap, it has gorgeous visuals and the strong gameplay may keep you busy for a while. However, there aren't many reasons to replay the game and also it's too short, if you try to complete it without breaking records, you should finish it in five hours or less. It's very cool, though, specially for those who love the platform games.… Expand

   In this celebrated WayForward gem, you play as a cartoonish female futuristic cop, taking on levels of varying sizes to re-capture escapedIn this celebrated WayForward gem, you play as a cartoonish female futuristic cop, taking on levels of varying sizes to re-capture escaped female inmates. That's pretty much all the plot in the game, but the good news is that it doesn't really need a detailed story. The focus here is 100% on the gameplay, which is delivered in spades.
   
   The heroine's limited moveset (jumping, shooting, and switching blocks) are put to work in increasingly neat ways. The level design is absolutely spotless, and will keep you on your toes the whole time. The stages are short and frantic affairs, and usually very easy to complete. The real challenge lies in matching the time limit for each stage, a task which gets tougher and tougher (and more and more satisfying) as the game goes on.
   
   In fact, the platforming ideas on show here are so good that I can't help but wonder what could be made of a longer, more in-depth version of the game. Why not add extra worlds, more varied backgrounds and stage moods, and (especially) epic boss battles?
   
   Be that as it may, if you're on the market for an addictive little affair that can grab your attention for shorter bursts of play, look no further. This is definitely worth a download, and the current American price tag of $7 is more than generous for what you get.… Expand

   Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition is a very good 2D-platform game. The goal is clearly outlined and is the same for every level. TheMighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition is a very good 2D-platform game. The goal is clearly outlined and is the same for every level. The melodies in each level are very catchy and don't ever get irritating. And the puzzles which involve causing blocks to disappear and reappear are quite innovative, despite their simplicity. Not a difficult game to grasp, it serves as a relatively good game for beginners in puzzle games and 2D-platformers alike. However, with all it's shiny positives comes the truth that the game is, in fact, very short and, for most people I fancy, lacks sufficient replay-ability. I mean, it goes without saying that one can try and beat the par times in each level for a bit of added challenge, but it's just you doing the same motions again a bit quicker. Overall, Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition is not a must-buy. But it certainly has some intriguing details that could persuade you to enjoy it. Even if for only a short while.… Expand
