16 MUST OWN Nintendo Switch Hidden Gems!

[@Garthantula]

Your “Hidden Gem” series is the coverage of Switch titles I didn’t know I needed. I swear, you’ve sold me on $250.00 worth of games that I never would have noticed.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

So happy you’ve been able to find some great games you like! Thanks for the support!

[@robinsonsonic]

Mad respect for the hard work you put into this channel and these lists, Ren. I've gotten a handful of games off of your suggestions. Keep up the excellent work!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Wow that's so awesome to hear! So happy you've found some games and I appreciate the feedback!

[@alexamorenodelucio8484]

Just discovered your channel, great video! I’ve never heard about the majority of those games

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Glad you like them! And thanks for the sub!

[@RwnEsper]

Man, I love videos like this. I don't know how hidden they are, but the Cat Quest games were a ton of fun. Simple action-RPGs loaded with silliness and goofy puns. They are available physically in a double pack, and the second has couch co-op.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

So happy you are enjoying them! Thanks for letting me know! I have got to dive into Cat Quest, thanks so much for reminding me!

[@YaBoyMajorGlory]

Just recently found your channel, and definitely picking up a few of these games! Thank you!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Glad you like them!

[@AICookiez]

Loving these videos! I felt like I was running out of stuff to play on my switch, but you've help me fill my backlog. Thanks!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Glad you like them!

[@VolcanorCasts]

Note about the Fate Estrella Link game, there is actually a pretty thriving discord with people who are glad to talk the game or even run custom multiplayer lobbies. I highly suggest joining it if you play as they have a dedicated section for Switch players!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Dang had no idea, Tysm!

[@howardsmith9165]

I enjoyed this video so much!! Glad it was in my feed. Liked and subscribed. Please continue this... and take all the time you need to upload the next video. It takes time to form and select a true hidden gem.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thank you so much!! So happy you enjoyed the video!

[@thepaper888]

4:17 I'm convinced. In all seriousness this game looks fun ps2 Era beautiful.

[@DaakkuuYRS]

Daemon X Machina sure shows lots of love for Mecha anime. For example, right on the second mission appears two super soldiers who saves the mission. Their voice actors are Ikeda Shuuichi and Furuya Tooro; The voice actors of Char and Amuro from the first Gundam, and it is hard was done not on purpose.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

That’s so flippin cool, I hadn’t made that connection. Thanks for sharing!

[@jclown17666]

I couldn't agree more with you having Poison Control on this list. Picked it up on PS4 after seeing the gameplay. Got hooked on it instantly and ended up getting the plat for it. Fantastic video btw.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks so much! I love Poison Control, kinda took me by surprise how satisfying it was to play.

[@vitaspieler469]

The original Langrisser battle animations were more satisfying, but the remake art is nice.

[@jeffpeyton8983]

True

[@zigrakudo4092]

I still prefer the older art style. Im a big fan of Urushira Satoshi's illustrations (blame Growlanser for that). The newer art looks and feels generic to me. Im glad that they included the option to switch back to the old art. I might just grab this game for that.

[@bobmckoolky5346]

DUDE! I fully love your content! Like a few others down here, I had straight up bought (or added to the wish list) several games based entirely on your recommendations. I am very grateful for your channel, keep it coming man!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thank you so much for the feedback and letting me know! Hope you have a great day!

[@Brandon667x1]

I’m with you on the Compile Heart games. I love them. Can’t help it. There is a certain charm to them that keeps me coming back.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

I totally know what ya mean, I can't quit them lol

[@UltimaXVI]

I’ve played Megadimension Neptunia VII & the Mary Skelter trilogy I did enjoy my time with them despite their roughness at times (copy paste areas, numerous typos, missed potential etc)

[@Brandon667x1]

Poison Control is pretty cool too. It’s one I picked up at launch, on a whim & liked it quite a bit. It’s not for everyone but I think it’s unique enough to warrant a play.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks for the backup!

[@aedenspear2394]

Dude, it was so fun to just sit down and work my way through this. Plus, the different endings are pretty cool. I'd totally play this over again anyday.

[@bristow4784]

And the music absolutely slaps

[@kcamargopiano]

For horizon Chase turbo: It's a spiritual continuation on the Top Gear games from Kemco. In Brazil, Top gear (or top racer) is very loved, and the brazilian studio that made Horizon Chase, even went as far as having the composer for Top Gear tracks to do the music in the same style.

[@SimplyAJ]

Another solid list, dude! I absolutely ADORE Infernax. I know the guys that made it, and used to hound them for years about when it was coming out, so glad to see that it did as well as it did once it released haha.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Woh dude, that's sick! Game slaps so hard, flippin' excellent!

[@SimplyAJ]

@@HallowedBeThyGame Also I'm definitely gonna be lookin into 3000th Dual, so thanks for showcasing it.

[@lukedelameter7961]

For being a near-launch title, I’m shocked that Daemon X Machina has slipped under the radar.

[@skysix5733]

This was one of the BEST hidden gem videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you for not being a know it all, too corny, or too cool for school. You were genuine, funny, informative. And the best compliment I can give is this, you made me interested in some games I would normally have zero interest in playing. I love having an open mind and trying new things, and this was amazing. Thank. You. 🎉

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Wow, thank you! I really appreciate it and hope you have a blast with the games if you pick any up!

[@guyvandermire4146]

Smelter is amazing. You should try it if you enjoyed Actraiser.

[@Migdo14]

We need more videos like this, you did an excellent job.You convince me to get Langrisser because I wasn't sure to get it, thanks for the video.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for the feedback!

[@sikevillain]

Infernax, Blasphemous & A Robot Named Fight are really great games. Some of my favorites and really glad you got to play these gems & add them to your list. That's really awesome 😎 have you played Monark? I think it's a underrated jrpg gem that's rough around the edges but has a fun combat system & a interesting premise.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Monark is for sure a total hidden gem, I completely agree. Rough around the edges, sure, but still quality. Thanks for sharing!

[@jbgrimlock75]

I dig your videos quite a bit. I’m a big fan of the Switch and you’ve turned me onto some games that are awesome that I’d not even heard of before!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

I'm so happy to hear! Thanks for letting me know!

[@GoatV8]

I love these lists and appreciate the work you put into them! I always find some great new games to grab. And Metroidvanias are one of the best genres imo Also Blasphemous is great! I've started it about 5 times but can never beat it (because I suck lol). I will one day though!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks so much for the feedback, really happy they are of some help! Blasphemous definitely isn't easy but you'll have to let me know if you give it another try!

[@bubbahoteppy1423]

Love this series, hope you keep releasing them!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks, will do!

[@MrManInATie]

Played Momodora 4 some years back and loved it. Gorgeous pixel art, fun combat, a sobering atmosphere, and the finale after the final boss honestly left me stunned. There's a sequel coming out sooner or later, so looking forward to that. Also glad you brought up Lost Ruins, since that game reminds me heavily of Momodora 4, so much so that I thought they were by the same developer initially.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

That sequel will be so excellent to jump into! I also hadn't realized Lost Ruins is already on Switch, I need to play it there as well lol. So happy you enjoyed the games and helped share the love!

[@arondyte318]

I’m a diehard Fate fan so I gobbled up Extella and Extella Link and sunk countless hours on it on their launch days 😂 If you want a traditional JRPG under the Fate franchise, Fate/EXTRA Record should hopefully be finally coming out this year. It’s a remake of the old PSP Classic Fate/Extra. Can’t wait to finally see Nero and Tamamo rendered in the latest unreal engine and in 4K!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Holy moly thank you so much for letting me know! I had no idea! I really appreciate it and I gotta get on it because yet Tamamo ftw.

[@UltimaXVI]

Really? I’ll have to keep an eye out for that. I’m a casual Fate fan so I’m hoping for another Extella musou game one day with even more Servants! As much as I like Umu & Padoru Padoru, I’m Team Tamamo

[@schar1024]

Tbh i didn't watch all your videos, so you might've showcased these games already. But when it comes to hidden gems for he switch you might like the following. 8Doors: Arum's Afterlife Adventure (Metroidvania) Demon Turf (3D Platformer, with sprite characters) Supraland (3D Action Adventure) Coromon (a good 2D Pokemon Clone) Crosscode (Not sure if it still counts as hidden gem - Action RPG) New Super Lucky's Tale (3D Platformer) Omno (a game for someone who looks for a tranquil adventure, with some puzzles and no time limit) Blue Fire (Zelda-ish Action Adventure) Super Pixel Racers (Top Down Racer, similar to Micro Machines) Little warning, i played all of these games only on my Steamdeck/PC, but i checked if you can find these also on the Nintendo Shop. Point is, i'm not sure about the performance on the Switch, but i guess they should be fine.

[@omnomgamer8633]

If you have a pc or nes, you should get Micro Mages. It is an Nes game that was made in 2018. Available on Steam and as a cartridge. I've gotten hours of enjoyment out of it and the creator has a KZbin channel and a video showing the developement process.

[@ataridc]

Couple of suggestions for the future: Siralim Ultimate - an old school dungeon crawl / monster tamer. Very fast paced where you're kind of setting up your party to almost autobattle as efficiently as possible. Monster Rancher DX - I went back to these games and they actually have a super fun loop of training, working, fighting in tournaments, that gets super addictive. I planned to just dabble and I found hours melting away. Anyway, just wanted to throw a couple out there.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Golly i'd never heard of Siralim Ultimate! Thanks a ton for putting this one on my radar, I'll definitely be sure to check it and Monster Racher DX out! Really appreciate the shoutouts

[@meppi64a]

Hi Ren, Andy here from Out of Print. Just want to say that I adore these types of videos and I just ordered two new games just moments ago thanks to you. (Poison Control and Maglam Lord) :D So as for wanting more in this series, despite it costing me money every single time you create one, I would say: absolutely! Keep em comming!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Hey! Thanks for watching Andy! Happy you enjoy the series and really appreciate the feedback! I’d love to hear what you think of those games when you can get to them!

[@paralysis_demon_hunter]

The “hidden gem” series is probably my favorite that you post :) id love to see you continue!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thank you! Will do!

[@paladin075gaming]

Nice list!! Fairy Fencer was a blast. We are getting the sequel coming west later this year too in case you hadn't seen that announcement yet!!! You might also like Death End re:Quest 1 and 2, think you might have mentioned them in another video, but wasn't sure. Those were both great too and don't always get a lot of love! And while you are in metroidvania mode (always a good mode), you should check out "Unsighted" if you haven't already. That game came out of nowhere last year and sucked me right in. And the pixel art graphics just complete the gaming experience. I think you'll dig it! Keep up the good work!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks for the heads up! I really appreciate it! I love the death end games, so I’ll be sure to check out Unsighted!

[@kurtjensen4661]

Definitely keep up with these hidden gems videos. I bounced off Poison Control hard at first as I found it unplayable in handheld mode. However once playing on a screen with a controller I enjoyed it a bunch.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Appreciate the feedback, happy to hear!

[@WaruiDeshou]

Love these Hidden Gem and Must Own type list videos. Keep em coming.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

I'm so happy to hear you are enjoying it! Thanks for letting me know and I'll definitely keep them going! I hope you enjoy Poison Control!

I find myself getting a couple of gems from each of your videos. it helps that I agree with your assessment and the games I pick up are truly fun. please keep it up!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

I’m so happy to hear! Hope you have a blast with the ones that caught your eye and thanks for the feedback!

[@DanofWar101]

Awesome! You know you put some amazing lists together when I open a Switch tab in order to add some titles to my wishlist to not forget about them when they go on sale! Langrisser 1 and 2 are 2 games I've beaten last year and they were so good! I was one of the earliest adopter of Horizon Chase Turbo as it wasn't supposed to come to the States so I had my PS4 copy imported from it's country of origin, Brazil! But then like all great games a company realizes that they can make some profit so it got an American version printed about a year after it's original release! Maglam Lord, Marenian Tavern Story and Smelter have been added to my wishlist! I now have someone to blame for my empty wallet LOL! Great video and keep up the good work!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Heck yes! I'm so happy to help put some quality games on your radar! I love those games so much and I'd be so stoked to hear what you think of them when you get to them. Have a blast and hope you have an incredible weekend!

[@MiamiSunrise]

Ren not only have i played Poison Control but i have the Switch physical which i bought at release and also the PS4 physical as well. I think its charming and fun though i havent finished it. I would also like to get the collectors edition too. Fantastic video my friend!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Rock on man! I would love to have the CE for that one too, so doggone cool!

[@onesacker15]

Discovered a lot of games I never knew existed on the switch cause of these videos! So please keep doing what your doing. Appreciate all the hard work you do for these.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

So happy you enjoy the series and find it useful! Thanks for the feedback!

[@ZeroFksGvn]

Definitely enjoyed playing Marenian Tavern Story, kinda awesome how they modified a mobile game to be on console and made it to where the “currency gems” drop in game instead of being bought as a micro transaction. Definitely check out Blacksmith of the Sand Kingdom, it’s the same formula as tavern story but as a blacksmith.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Hey heck ya! I’ll definitely check that out, thank you!

[@respox2191]

I'd known of most of these, but definitely had not seen Smelter before. Well done. My suggestion for a future hidden gem video: Azure Reflections.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

I'll have to check that out, hope you enjoy Smelter!

I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts on Smelter if you pick it up. It really shocked me, hope you have a blast with it!

[@kirindas4691]

Thanks for the list! For Daemon x Machina and Fate Extella games, I know Marvelous is the problem why content creators don't talk as much about the game on KZbin. Before and even after release, Marvelous constantly issued Copyright Claims on videos for the games. Even big channels like GameXplain were hit with claims for their reviews. "If all the monetization is going to be taken away, why cover the game?" is the common sentiment I heard. So it was hard to cover and promote the game because of that.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Woh did not know that, happy they haven't hit my videos yet then!

[@timskay2]

Well done, grabbed me from the opening cutscene. Take my sub!

Yay! Thank you!

[@DarioKalen_Kagenui]

Amazing video and recommendations as always. I've played Horizon Chase Turbo (got it free in Epic Games) and I loved it, it's the classic racing style I love but with beautiful graphics and backgrounds. I got my dad to play it (cause he refuses to play anything "new" cause it's too confusing for him) and he 100%'d it. 😂 Maglam Lord looks like a great game to relax in between other games, I'll add it to my list. Momodora looks very interesting, 3000th Duel and Robot Fight too. Also, love seeing more Metroidvanias. 🔥 I have never seen much like Poison Control either, it sounds interesting. Smelter looks super interesting, the story and bosses look epic and the gameplay looks fun. I need to play Infernax, it's been on my watch since I first saw it. I agree with the Daemon X Machina thing, people were quick to hate but now more and more people are playing it and enjoying it. I've played both Fate/Extella games (and don't worry about not having watched Fate, Fate Extra/Extella is pretty much super isolated of the rest of the universe, though of course many characters are the same) because I'm a huge Fate fan and I really like the same things you said, but having played both Hyrule Warriors before (normal on both 3DS and Switch and Age of Calamity on Switch ofc) for hundreds of hours, I found the gameplay and level design quite lacking here, specially the gameplay (and I also had problems actually seeing what was on screen sometimes, don't know how to explain it, but it got to the point where I had to stop playing it for some moments lol). Regardless, they were very fun overall. I absolutely love Blasphemous, I played the demo and fell in love with it and bought it when it was on sale. It's definitely one of my favourite Metroidvanias, if not my favourite. And as a side note, it has many references to the province where I'm from and overall country too (because the developing team is from there lol) and that's pretty nice to see.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks so much for letting me know you are enjoying the series! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the ones you haven't tried once you play them! That's so cool you are are from the same area that Blasphemous is inspired from! The architecture and detail is jaw dropping and I'd love to do some research on some more of the deeper connections it has!

[@ophidianmind333]

3000th Duel is great and I would also recommend HunterX for those who enjoyed that game. HunterX was made by many of the same developers as 3000th Duel and it feels somewhat like a spiritual sequel to that game. I completely agree with what you said about Blasphemous, it is one of the best of the best in metroidvanias and it is a must-play for fans of the genre, it's one of those games I love so much that I really can't imagine my life without it. Langrisser I & II is also great, it would be nice if more games from that series got a re-release since most of them didn't get a Western release in the past. Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is a quality Metroidvania and I also look forward to the upcoming game in that series that might be getting a release this year. I've had a lot of fun with A Robot Named Fight as well. Infernax is a game that I am an enthusiastic fan of and it is a very close second to Soul Hackers 2 for my favorite game of 2022. I love everything about that game and I played through it 6 times last year and I'll probably play through it again before too long.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Oh heck yes! HunterX is on my wishlist and I think it just went on sale... I gotta pick that up already. Thanks a ton for putting all these switch and steam games on my radar. Still hyped as all get out to get into Spirit Hunter VN, so thank you so much again for that. Blasphemous was that doggone good and I'm like absurdly ready for the sequel. I need to play SH2 again but after you posted your end party for Nocturne i've been feeling that moth to flame like pull to go back and beat it again lol. I need some demifiend back in my life lol

Another solid video in this lineup of vids man especially reminding me to pick up Infernax at a later date. The one game I'm not sure if it is considered a hidden gem or at but at least to me is Lapis Labyrinth that I managed to pick up during NISA's holiday sale two months ago.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Woh! Thanks so much for the recommendation! I gotta check that one out!

[@Daniel_Coffman]

Yet another Metroidvania that I've never heard anyone talk about, but I love is FIST: Forged in Shadow Torch. A stupid acronym, given that you're playing as a rabbit who uses a giant mech arm as a punching weapon, but a pretty great Switch game. Granted, I have it and am playing it on PC and not Switch; very glad the Epic Games Store had it for free some time ago; but either way, I love it.

This is The Best video on KZbin i found with great exclusive switch metroidvania games. Almost all added to wish list thank you.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@ryanleeharrell]

Smelter is one of those games that's been on my Wishlist since it released, but I never pick it up. I think you convinced me to get it. Probably wait for a sale though, cause I'm cheap like that. Like the video.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Totally understand and I'm sure it'll go on another sale soon. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the feedback!

[@ryanleeharrell]

@@HallowedBeThyGame I'm always a fan of any indie games I can find on the Switch. Especially the ones that people don't mention very often. So, I really appreciate the confidence in buying another title.

[@rickhunter1614]

Totally agree Compile Heart & Idea Factory Games are absolutely the best for having fun without taking everything too seriously :). And I adore the character designs :)

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Haha hey! I’m stoked another fan is watching! Totally agree 😁🤘

[@SEGAblocks]

Horizon Chase Turbo is still on my list. Love me some Arcadia racing games! You’re right! It’s a huge nod to Genesis era racing games! AH! Fairy Fencer F looks so over the top and crazy! Definitely definitely checking that one out!!! Who needs a story when you have MECHS! Let’s just blow sh** up! Haha My buddy @HeaaapsOGames has been streaming Blasphemous here on KZbin and wow does it look great! I definitely need to get my hands more wet with metroidvanias. Having completed Ritual of The night recently it has me itching for others. Great list here brother! 🤘

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks man! So stoked you found some of these interesting, I'd love to hear what you think of Daemon X Machina if you ever give it a shot. And yeah Horizon Chase Turbo is so flippin good, I would LOVE to hear a review from you if you give it a shot!

[@felipeborges106]

My backlog always suffer with your hidden gems!!!! hahahaha the "A robot named fight" i got with a great discout and it's a game that i suggest to all my friends, i'm happy to see that i'm not alone :) great list!!!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Haha my backlog hates me too lol. Glad another Robot Named Fight fan is watching!

[@stevered9659]

First video of yours I have seen. You have peeked my interest in smelter. A hidden gem that I will recommend to you is Cross Code. Don’t know if you heard of it but my goodness. It’s a good game good music good characters. A down side is that a lot of the side quests are the standard. MMO quest of get thing and give thing. But some of them are really cool like. Chase a goat around town, or get a hat from a snowman enemy to give to someone to decorate THEIR snowman.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

I've heard a lot of great things about Cross Code. I need to make it a priority to play. Thanks for reminding me!

[@agentofxehanort]

I finally picked up Blasphemous not too long ago and it is amazing. Worth picking up for Metroidvania and dark fantasy fans.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

I completely agree! So creepy and fantastic!

[@ozloner8777]

I have two games to recommend that I've played recently. The first is Tormented Souls. It's a survival-horror game that pays homage to the classics. It looks primitive on Switch but something about that low-res made me kind of unsettled. Like there's something wrong with it. The second is Kunai. A Metroidvania that you play as a cute little tablet. I've replayed this because I missed swinging from room to room. Made me want a modern Spider-man Metroidvania thanks to it.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Woh this is excellent, thank you for the heads up! I need to pick these two up!

[@Kobeii]

Started enjoying Langrisser when they released the mobile game. Definitely picking up the games for my switch.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Hey that's awesome! Stoked a fan is watching!

[@staicu2295]

I love Momodora, it can be pretty hard sometimes but I love the aesthetic, not enough people talk about it

[@3reddytop]

Relatively new here but some hidden gems I enjoy on switch are: Wizard of legend Vivid knight West of loathing Super bullet break Overrogue Monmusu gladiator Marooners Magic potion millionaire Love esquire Little Noah scion of paradise Dungeon munchies Cozmo player Z Brave dungeon +dark witch's story:combat Fantasy hero unsigned legacy

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Woh! This is awesome! Thanks for the recommendations!

[@ChicagoRetroGamer]

I totally started playing Horizon Chase Turbo a few months ago, and it is super fun! For only being a fraction of the cost of most Switch games, I'd highly recommend it!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for shouting it out!

[@ChicagoRetroGamer]

@@HallowedBeThyGame for sure, rock on!

[@roflBeck]

A Robot Named Fight looks just like Super Metroid. Neat!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

I agree! Have fun if you try it!

[@tylorian5168]

Heh, a lot of these games have been on my wishlist for a while. Maglam Lord was one I was always interested in, but getting it physically is quite expensive (it doesn’t go on sale often), and that’s really the only way I’d want to get the game. Fairy Fencer F I bought a bit ago during a huge IF sale, but haven’t started yet (although I’ve heard it’s gameplay is a lot like the Neptunia games, which I have played one of those). And Marenian Tavern Story… hmm. On 3DS is a game called “Adventure Bar Story,” and I’m gonna assume the game you showed here is a sequel / spiritual successor, as the two games are extremely similar in concept, and use the same crafting materials and interfaces. I love these types of videos 😁👍.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

So happy you enjoy these videos, I really appreciate the feedback! Hope you enjoy these games when you get to them!

[@SophisticatedPerson]

Awesome awesome. So Langrisser, Daemon X, Blasphemous have demos right now. I'm sure there are some i missed. But thank you for these, I have yet to boot up sword of the vagrant so ill be playing that soon. Cheers.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Hey that’s great to know! Thanks for sharing, hope you have a blast with them all!

[@dustynorman1581]

I'd love Langrisser series so much. Sadly never get to played the classic version of the game. Every since I've purchase the game on switch I was very happy playing it. Hopefully they'll release the 3rd chapter of the series and more. Thank you very much.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

I’d love to see more released. Thanks for watching!

[@markmedinabattletrix781]

Great stuff especially for a Switch noob who's growing his collection.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks so much for letting me know! Glad you enjoy the videos!
