[@jesssealey6552]

Budget and economy being what it is, I wasn't able to pick up any new release games this year unfortunately. I am thankful however, that there are SwitchUp reviews of these so I can make an informed choice when things get better. Cheers gents!

[@WelshDag]

Got a Switch OLED for Christmas and used your store to get points for a few games and DLC - loved earning “coins” as it felt more economical

[@jordanlane8699]

I just picked up Romancing Saga after watching your favourite games of the year video. Wow. It’s phenomenal.

[@PaulGaither]

Audio is left ear only when using headphones. I just double checked, and other videos are fine.

[@adrianvictorv]

same

[@jyesucevitz]

you know how many times I reset earbuds thinking my right one was messed up?

[@jond7691]

Same even without headphones for me.

[@magimus13]

Guess I got lucky. Only had my left in lol

[@XhoowieX]

Audio left, music right! Embrace stereo 🤣

Absolute ESSENTIAL | HIGHEST RATED Switch Channel of KZbin 2024!

[@SwitchUpYt]

❤

[@Chubby-chinZamboni]

Channel period for me 🤓😎

[@DylanWatsonSoftware]

Chanel N°5 (the best one), you might say? 😂

[@Justin-TPG]

@@DylanWatsonSoftware A bit more professional than Chanel 9

[@alexdev518]

Also guys a hidden gem called Megaton Musashi is 50% off. Both standard and deluxe edition. If you're a fan of mecha I thought I should just let you know.

[@Skruffee]

Perfect timing my mom gave me some money for Xmas and she was specific that I should spend it on household essentials! Thanks for the giving me a loophole 😈

[@julianjuez]

Lol😂

[@juniperwool]

Haha!

[@QuestionThings123]

If you don't leave the house with your switch your golden

[@charlieg6913]

😅😅😅

[@Nedwig747]

Lol, well said!

[@ppbunt]

I’m unashamed barjan-hunter and rarely buy games for full price when they come out. There was one exception this year: Balatro!

[@Dan-360]

This is the way 🎉

[@sherry8414]

It's definitely time for me to pick up Balatro with it on sale.

[@SiobhanR28]

Ohhhh this is an awesome idea. Having a great night opening pokemon cards and now a SwitchUp vid! Yay 🎉🎉

[@elliexvidia]

Opening Pokémon cards is such a treat, hope you got some good ones!

[@jean-francoisrioux847]

Thanks to you. You made me play astlibra that is in my top 5 this year. Unicorn overlord is incredible and deserved at least a nomination this year.

[@XhoowieX]

I like what you (definitely intentionally...) did with the stereo audio this time, but next time you should put Glen on one ear and Mark on the other for ultimate immersion.

[@adeadbush]

Crazy to think Prince of Persia even came out this year, damn

[@GruseligerZigeuner]

Yeah but it’s more like 1 year ago minus 2 weeks

[@DylanWatsonSoftware]

Playing the DLC atm and it's as good as ever!

[@FletchMo7]

You guys keep producing! Hope you’re getting some time off over this festive period! Appreciate the content as always

[@aethersurfer6793]

Might be a bit sacrilegious to say, but I’m so glad they gave you the option in Tomb Raider to change from the tank control system to a more modern fluid one. Made it much less frustrating when you’re jumping from platform to platform!

[@roybatty4687]

Modern control was severely broken

[@ThroneRoomGaming]

Prince of Persia was incredible. I'm a fan of the franchise. I really enjoyed the version that hit the Xbox 360 waaay back. Sands of time was iconic as well. I'd love to see remasters hit the Switch.

[@EsraThorne]

Still can’t get over how good Prince of Persia TLC looks on the Switch. Great to see it originally be developed for the system, and then ported to other platforms. Truly a shame the development team was shut down by Ubisoft 😔

[@ed61730]

Nine Sols and core keeper! NS also seems somewhat like a successor to Dust: An Elysian Tail. UC is my goty! Love strategy games and this one was so unique in its delivery.

[@QuestionThings123]

Haven't gotten nine sols yet gonna wait for a sale probably but core keeper is absolutely in my top picks for the year

[@Grubkiller35]

The holiday just keeps getting better an better!

[@xergei]

OMG I can’t believe I missed Starwars: Dark Forces. It was a fave of mine when I was a kid but I completely forgot about it until I saw it in this video 😅 Thank you so much for reminding me of a very important childhood game

[@justaspectator2]

You never stop! Thanks guys!

[@Creation33]

This feels like a 12 days "bonus" episode and I'm here for it. Hope you both are sailing into the new year!

[@jemmadavies3226]

Highest rated gaming channel of 2024? SwitchUp! Amount many great games in this list, Balatro is excellent. I am not a deck building game fan, but was convinced to try it after seeing your videos where you spoke about it. So glad I did, and thank you once again for finding me a game I love. Even got my non gamer fella playing it!

[@eleonoreconstant]

And just when I needed to be cheered up your video pops up!! 😁☺️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Switch up to cheer me up!

[@mariovj1764]

This is the top list of games you can add to the wishlist, as a gift or even just to check it out

[@gpw6287]

Ah yes a Switch Up fix, missed you guys last night.

[@Crafty_Cookie_Bandit]

Strong final year before a Switch 2 reveal! Let’s close this year out with a bang! And let’s hit 400k for the channel by 2026 😊😊

[@elliexvidia]

I hope you two are resting during this holiday season, so much content has been produced! Love watching with my dinner 😊

[@Openreality]

Ironically got back into MTG in November and am playing more card game games on the switch as well as Tetris...... Good video.

[@k_DEDb07]

cool format. enjoyed

[@Ratboyslim]

Just ordered a pizza! Perfect timing! Happy almost new years good folks!

[@leemorse7851]

Great wrap up of the year. I bought Unicorn Overlord and Prince Of Persia yesterday, there are a few more from this video on my wish list.

[@mrpmp5384]

Tomb Raider collection (never played the series before) and TMNT Splintered Fate (what an incredible game). I never would have known about the Turtles game if it wasn’t for your channel.

[@Sparkypark]

Got a few of these thanks to Switch Up reviews. Keep going strong in 2025.

[@michaelsmith7473]

I love that you’re listed such a varied set of titles, some big devs and many small ones. I really enjoyed Prince of Persia, but I feel like I hit the middle and the difficulty spiked. I have to go back and see if I can’t finish it out before the end of the year.

[@juniperwool]

Thanks for the list! I just purchased Core Keeper recently, and I was hoping to sink some time into that one!

[@AlexanderKlimenko-y2s]

why every latest video you put out in lech channel mono only

[@Mechonblade]

It's nice to go back and see just how many great games came out this year! Glad to see gems like Unicorn Overlord and Romancing SaGa 2 make the list! 😊👍🏽

[@russdrew5752]

Just picked up Core Keeper off the back of all love shown by both you and the viewers on switch up! I think it’s going to consume so much time - in a good way!

[@arthurwulfrun]

Unicorn Overlord, that game looks incredible and really fun and your reviews on it have been stellar. Really piqued my interest. Will be starting my new year with it I think.

[@Nedwig747]

I hadnt really realized how spoiled for choice we were this year, my goodness. So many good games and this was just the tip of the iceberg

[@baked88]

Is this one in Mono lads? Cue Spinal Tap ‘Dobly’ memes 😂

[@jonk4255]

Your audio seems to be off centre again? PoP is the only game I own here, played a little, really enjoyed it. Would like to try 9 sols but maybe in a year, backlog is massive with 100 hour games 🤦‍♂️

[@HanaNoMaude]

Prince of Persia, Unicorn Overlord, Balatro and so on - might not have been a banner year for Nintendo themselves, but still a great year to be a gamer on Switch!

[@MaybeeT]

Solid list, unicorn overlord was probably the breakout title of the year for me

[@brendonbecker1735]

I got the Tomb Raider remastered collection (I have nostalgia from playing it on my mom’s PS1 back in the day), and I’ve gotta say the clunky tank controls are so integral to the way the game is designed that it’s hard to imagine playing it in any other way.

[@travicy]

Lost Crown is good.

[@Rinnk]

I just received Prince of Persia for Christmas 🎉 I'll ask for Unicorn Overlord for my birthday.

[@arobbie30]

Most of the highest rated games each month are what I picked up this year thanks to your reviews.

[@kevinphelps5807]

So fantastic games this year. Still need to pick up a few you mentioned not to mention finish the ones I started!

[@jamesedwards2394]

Man there were some great games released this year, both old and new. Thanks for bringing us another 12 months of awesome content switchup.

[@timrowley2039]

Thank you for the years of content. Because of your review I got SO 2nd story R. It is awesome. You guys are the OG’s of switch!

[@travicy]

I need you in both ears. Its as if you are so distant. Comforting only half my being.

[@sabrilearningprocess5919]

Romancing saga, nine of sols, legacy of kain, prince of persia, core keeper.. so many good games this year🤩 If i have to choose one, maybe it's prince of persia for the nostalgia

[@_godfall]

got unicorn overlord, balatro, paper mario, shin megami tensei, and core keeper. all still on my backlog. 😅 planning to get marvel vs capcom so i can have a fighting game, and i'm gonna check valfaris. SwitchUp became my fave switch channel. honest and unbias reviews. happy holidays and looking forward for the next switch videos. stay safe everyone 🎉

[@UndeadEggmiester]

Honestly this was a great year for the switch and here people we're worried that nothing would be out this year

[@disalazarg]

Amazing that, as good as Drova was, it didn't make the list. Ah well, gonna pick up Romancing SaGa 2 remake to add to my jRPG backlog along with Unicorn Overlord.

[@BillScott-rc9bu]

It's not been a bad year to be a Switch gamer really, as that essential list shows.

[@jesssealey6552]

Hope you both are recovering ok after xmas, sickness and the 12 days of SwitchUp. You both still sound a bit rough in this one so take care boys. Cheers SwitchUp!

[@MsKornkitty]

Completed The Thousand Year Door, and I did win at Balatro but I don't know that it can be completed. 😅 But thanks for calling us all out guys!

[@ania96157]

thought this was a bonus 12 days of switchup video for a sec :) but no, I's judt a normal nice video

[@travicy]

Tizzy where I come for reviews before purchas 4 sure

[@Daley87]

Another cracking year for the Switch. Thousand Year Door one of the highlights for me this year 🙌🏻

[@picnicentry]

Great video lads. The switch is so stacked. Wonder whats in store for switch 2

[@mikeuk666]

Is it just me when listening with headphones that Mark & Glen are predominantly heard in the left ear channel?

[@devonbewley7753]

Are yall going to keep the channel name when the next switch comes along? Cuz super switch up would be pretty awesome.

[@watercolourbynumbers]

Star Wars Dark Forces, I loved it at release (big box White Label version tucked away in a drawer). I used to close my eyes and imagine what a Dark Forces 2 might play like. When it was released it was almost as good as my child brain could picture.

[@TonyLaranjo]

Damn I bought too many games this year… guess it’s good most are top quality… even with an IGN 5/10 thrown in for good measure 😜

[@robertmcnaughton7791]

A really good scoring year. Will definitely wait for a sale price on Turtles and Marvel v Capcom. Played two runs of Balatro and I wasn't convinced, then I said "I'll try once more" and now I'm absolutely hooked. Not been this addicted to a game since Enter the Gungeon.

[@mildhoof]

I’m just gonna be here pretending we’re still in the 12 days of switchup forevermore lol

[@Paige2]

My top list would have included She Wants Me Dead, Stardew Valley, Dredge, and BOTW. They may not have come out this year, but they have been my most played this year

[@jordanlane8699]

Love this list. What an incredible year! Looking forward to everything 2025 will bring (new system, great games, and you gents covering it all!).

[@_N3VAEH_]

Agreed. I totally forgot that prince of Persia came out this year. Especially beacuse it goes on good sales already. But it's lucky for people who don't have it.

[@crewealex1125]

Hope you had a great Christmas, and got to work on the backlog a little 😁

[@RealJeffTidwell]

Nothing but net, and no mention of Animal Well or Mario & Luigi Brotherhood. Underrated year for Switch!

[@MrJimithee]

I've been toying with the idea of getting a table-top style arcade fight-stick for a while now... I reckon Marvel vs Capcom could be the game that makes it happen! CLASSICS

[@Winniethepoohchic]

Great line up always get the best with switch up

[@melaniapina6368]

I really have to thank you Mark and Glen, for this wonderful year of daily videos! So much amazing content, you sure did work hard 💪🏼 hope Santa brought you some good gifts 😊❤️

[@Ser-Smiley]

Next year. Next year when i have some money i will buy Unicorn Overlord! Wryyyyyyu!

[@R0b3rtZX]

You are the best switch channel. Love all your videos

[@Zephyr_Weiss]

My right ear is lonely

[@destructioncam]

Can't believe I played prince of persia that long ago, have several of the others on my backlog am halfway through conscript at the moment, great game as you stated, am looking forward to what 2025 will bring game wise for the switch and beyond another top year coming and look forward to your coverage of the year and the games you add to my backlog...❤❤

[@brackenbushcraft5504]

I haven’t actually tried any of these games yet but there’s just so many good ones I’m knee deep in!

[@adamwragg4606]

Thanks lads! Love you too! I currently going through games I want to buy whole watching this 😅

[@DerpyMcSquirtle]

Picked up quite afew of these games over the last few days due to sales, some really good games on here for sure…really enjoying tomb raider at the minute

[@Grubkiller35]

Man I love indie games but it's almost 2025 can we PLEASE ditch the pixle art? It hurts my eyes

[@goeatlnola]

13 days of SwitchUp

[@chrislefty418]

Just got Core keeper!! It looks like imma be busy for awhile

[@Vulcanfaux]

Another year soon comes to an end, and another is about to begin, here is to hoping the backlog wont increase too much next year.

[@uvin2730]

Currently on SMT V Vengeance. Definitely worthy

[@graydanger]

Prince of Persia is so good. Very satisfactory.

[@djoneill5645]

Got Balatro. Hoping to get Nine Sols and Turtles (love the Hades vibe)

[@MonZterbacklog]

What a solid year 2024 for games some high rankers here 🎉

[@pilgrimspromise1132]

You guys really need to point out in a video that senuas sacrifice on switch is on sale for the first time in four years

[@girthvader1551]

Audio is only in my left ear. Just a heads up.

[@mattdanman]

Fyi Unicorn overlord has a generous demo. Personally I couldn't get into it; but if you're on the fence, you can give it a whirl first before dropping some coin.

[@pikachubread]

i'm a bar-jan hunter, but i'm getting tempted by balatro!

[@MrDestomp]

Happy new year mates!

[@ArchieGrant-l3b]

Is legacy of kain available physically?

[@sambotwan]

I'll play SMTV: Vengeance some day. Maybe. One thing's for sure though, I'm not buying any of that publisher's games again unless it's on a DEEP discount.

[@kamehamegamer]

Been enjoying coop vampire survivors with my daughters over christmas, hoping to get them onto monster hunter after new year

[@David-kb8vh]

I bought quite a few of these games. I also did the math and with my current backlog. I can get that completed 5 years after I retire. 🤣
