Mighty Switch Force Review
By: Julian MacDonnell
For Nintendo 3DS
To say the 3DS is still
lacking in the amount of games in it's library(let alone those that
aren't ports or re-releases) is slowly becoming untrue. With the
recent release of Resident Evil Revelations and Kid Icarus Uprising,
as well as a slew of other games being released over the 3DS's
E-Shop, it seems Nintendo has caught up to where they should have
been about three months into the life cycle for its newest system. As
to whether most of these titles are actually worthy of purchase or if
we're about to see a repeat of the shovel-ware released for the Wii
during most of its life span is hard to say just yet.
So when I went looking in
the E-Shop for new games to play, it should be no surprise that any
new title I saw would meet my hesitant stare. I know I could have
just as easily gone down the safe route and purchased a game from the
virtual console selection, but then again I didn't get my 3DS just to
play old gems I could still find for their respective systems today.
So when I saw Mighty Switch Force pop up after a little digging, I was
hesitantly drawn to it. As I would find out, this small download
title comes to us from WayForward Technologies, the same developers
of a little known title on the GameBoy Advance called Shante. Having
only played a bit of their earlier work, I was immediately hooked on
seeing what they were going to do with the 3DS's hardware, and
thankfully my curiosity was rewarded.
