Absent from the collection is the iOS and PC spin-off Mighty Switch Force!: Hose it Down!, although this may have been because of its use of touch and pointer controls.

The Mighty Switch Force! series, which saw some success on the Nintendo 3DS a few years ago, has finally made its way to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in the form of Mighty Switch Force! Collection, a collection of the first two main entries in the series, the Hyper Drive Edition enhanced remake of the first title and Mighty Switch Force! Academy, a multiplayer-focused spin-off. However, while we wait anxiously for Shantae 5, WayForward has managed to bring one of their lesser known franchises to contemporary platforms. The Shantae series continues to be one of the most unique 2D platforming/Metroidvania franchises of the past two decades and has garnered tons of critical success and a dedicated cult following, leading to the huge success of Shantae: Half-Genie Hero‘s Kickstarter and sales and the announcement of the upcoming Shantae 5. Whilst beloved not only for their licensed titles, such as the Nintendo 3DS Adventure Time games, and underrated gems, such as the Nintendo DS’s Thor: God of Thunder and Aliens: Infestation, WayForward is arguably most known for their original IP, such as the wonderful Shantae series, and rightfully so. For almost thirty years, WayForward has been developing cult classics spanning systems such as the Super Nintendo, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS and even the Apple Watch. As far as independent developers go, few have the diverse history of WayForward.
