***Mitchell Van Morgan: The Brotherhood Of Redheads HD*** (ミッチェルヴァンモーガン：赤毛の兄弟HD, *Mitcheruvu~anmōgan: Akage no kyōdai HD*?) is a 2020 upcoming role-playing video game based on the Mitchell Van Morgan franchise developed by Behaviour Interactive and Gunfire Games Inc., and published by THQ Nordic Inc. in association with Nickelodeon for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 & Xbox One and Microsoft Windows PC. The iOS and Android versions of the game will be developed by HandyGames and Nickelodeon for mobile devices with gameplay updates and more. The game initially focuses on the events surrounding the kidnapping of Martin Moody and the disappearance of the Power Stones after the defeat of Doctor Marquessa, before moving on to follow the cast of characters across two dimensions as they encounter a new ally, Morbis the Redhead-American girl, and seek to stop the invasion of their world by Ix, the leader of Morbis' tribe, the Nightshade tribe.

The game itself is a High-def remaster of the original game which was originally released for the Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable & Microsoft Windows PC in 2009. it features updated graphics and added stereoscopic effects. The remastering was highly acclaimed by critics, receiving perfect scores from over 20 publications, with some calling it one of the best remasterings of all time.

The game was released in September 2020 in Australia, Europe and then North America. It was released in Japan on August 6, 2021. It was generally received favorably by critics, who appreciated both the graphics and environments, as well as Mitchell's overall transition to the role-playing genre; the music and story (seen as somewhat "lightweight" for a role-playing game, possibly to be more suitable for younger gamers) were received with mixed reactions, as were some gameplay elements, such as the combat system.

## Gameplay

*Main article: Mitchell Van Morgan: The Brotherhood Of Redheads*
The gameplay for the remastering is very similar to the original version, albeit with some modifications made to the game. As with many RPGs, there are two main types of the gameplay feature: adventure fields and combat. In the adventure fields, a character is controlled by using the Joy-Con on the Nintendo Switch (or by using the mouse on the PC version, or by using the PlayStation Move Remote on the PlayStation 4, or by using the Xbox Kinect on the Xbox One version) where the player wants the character to go. Action bubbles appear when near obstacles that can be interacted with, and are used to traverse certain features of the environment. The Navigation can also require a certain character to be in the lead for progress to continue, taking advantage of that character's special ability, be it flying, climbing, or dashing. The Puzzle elements also feature, allowing the party to work together to complete a task, usually involving pressing switches in various areas to make something happen.

Enemies can be seen walking around in the adventure fields. Depending on the party's level, enemies may be aggressive and move towards the player. If an enemy is touched, combat begins. Battles are fought in a close-up, turn-based battle arena. Standard attacks are available as well as special attacks, dubbed POW Moves, which can be performed by following the on-screen prompts and tapping the stylus when and where you are indicated to. These moves use up POW Points, in a manner similar to "Magic Points" in other RPGs. Both solo and team Pow Moves exist. Team attacks require two, three, or all four characters, and drain Pow Points from each. All of these POW moves requires the player to perform real-time events on the touch screen with the stylus but are extremely powerful if performed successfully.
