Forever Entertainment, the developer’s behind the upcoming House of the Dead Remake for the Nintendo Switch system, has revealed more about what players can expect from the reimagining of the classic SEGA arcade game. The game will be exclusive for the Nintendo Switch system and naturally supports gyro aiming with the Joy-Cons along with multiple endings and it will also feature a Performance Mode to provide a smoother frame rate. Here’s what Forever Entertainment has revealed so far.
How will the controls work in HOTD Remake?
