Fighting Force Collection Physical Release Confirmed for Nintendo Switch by Limited Run Games
Limited Run Games, renowned for their dedication to preserving video game classics through high-quality physical editions, has officially announced the physical release of the 'Fighting Force Collection' for Nintendo Switch.
Originally unveiled in 2023, this eagerly anticipated compilation brings together the celebrated PlayStation 1 beat ’em up titles 'Fighting Force' and its sequel, 'Fighting Force 2', for a new generation of players. The Fighting Force Collection will be available in both a standard and deluxe edition.
The standard version provides fans the opportunity to experience these iconic titles with modern convenience on the Nintendo Switch.
For collectors and enthusiasts, the deluxe edition offers a curated assortment of memorabilia, including the game cartridge, a CD soundtrack, a double-sided poster, game case keychains, and an exclusive enamel pin, all packaged for maximum appeal.
Limited Run Games is overseeing the production, continuing their mission to deliver premium physical releases for Nintendo Switch and other platforms. First released in 1997, 'Fighting Force' quickly became a staple of the 3D beat ’em up genre, allowing players to assume the roles of Hawk Manson, Mace Daniels, Alana McKendricks, or Ben “Smasher” Johnson.
Players team up to take down the nefarious Dr.
Dex Zeng, utilizing each character’s unique skills and strengths.
The game features engaging cooperative gameplay, a wide roster of moves per character, and seven dynamic levels set across 22 stages.
Weapon variety is a highlight, with players able to wield rocket launchers, shotguns, pipes, grenades, and more as they progress. Its sequel, 'Fighting Force 2', launched in 1999, pushing the series towards a more action-driven narrative.
The story follows Hawk Manson on a covert mission to expose human cloning experiments at the sinister Knackmiche Corporation.
The game is recognized for its visually impressive R&D facility settings, advanced special effects for its time, aggressive hand-to-hand combat mechanics—including devastating combo attacks—and an arsenal of over 20 powerful weapons that can be used to neutralize opponents or wreak havoc in the destructible environments. Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch physical release of the Fighting Force Collection will open on December 12, 2025, via Limited Run Games’ official channels.
This announcement is a significant moment for retro gaming enthusiasts and collectors, particularly those who have followed the legacy of these classic titles from their original PlayStation 1 incarnations to modern consoles like the Nintendo Switch.
