Coming to the PS4/Xbox One/Switch/ and PC going by the ratings board.

Since 2011, players have been shooting, jumping, and solving level-switching puzzles across Planet Land as cybernetic peacekeeper Officer Patricia Wagon in the Mighty Switch Force! games. So far, however, the series has never appeared on PlayStation systems — but that's about to change.


Finally, the Mighty Switch Force! titles are coming to PS4 on July 25, and better yet, it's in the form of Mighty Switch Force! Collection, which features all four mainline Mighty Switch Force! games in one convenient package. At last, fans can enjoy the games' unique puzzle-platforming action in the same place, at the same time, all on a single system.

Mighty Switch Force! Collection contains four full games: Mighty Switch Force!, Mighty Switch Force! 2, Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition, and Mighty Switch Force! Academy. As series creative director Matt Bozon explains it, the original Mighty Switch Force! was conceived as a showcase for stereoscopic 3D visuals, so the idea of an action-platformer with multiple layers of depth was born. Initially, the idea was to allow Officer Wagon to use her Siren Helmet to "switch" blocks between four distinct layers to solve brain-bending level-navigation puzzles, and though that was changed to two layers during development, the overall concept remained (and it made the gameplay work equally well even without stereoscopic 3D effects).

With four complete games, more than 70 levels, plenty of challenge, and level-switching gameplay for up to four players, Mighty Switch Force! Collection offers a wealth of content for only $19.99, and it's a great way to experience the entire mainline series, whether you've been there since the beginning or you're discovering it for the first time. Mighty Switch Force! Collection is scheduled to arrive at PlayStation Store on July 25.

They reference the Switch in the actual trailer yet it's a PS4-specific one due it being hosted on Sony's channel. That's legit funny! LOL

I had a feeling there would be a collection of this series, and I'm interested.

Weird that Wayforward is treating the original game and the HDE as separate entries, though, based on the trailer.

Mighty Switch Force 2 has one of the best end credits themes in the business

I reckon there's some people out there who still prefer the pixels over the redrawn art, plus the HD version has some exclusive content.

For what it's worth, there is one other MSF game that's not on this collection but it's a junky iOS puzzle game, you won't be missing anything crucial.

Academy was an early-access game that it felt like they kinda just gave up on, I wonder if it's being touched up at all.

Great! Was hoping it was getting a physical copy, but hopefully it comes later.
Been wanting to try these games for a while now.

Loved Mighty Switch Force 1 & 2 on my Wii U and 3DS. I will definitely pick this up at some point after it comes out.
