Bear and Breakfast Nintendo Switch Review!

[@SwitchUpYt]

A MASSIVE patch has been submitted to Nintendo - as mentioned, there are a few crashes currently. That should solve the issue in most cases. Also, installing to internal memory is a must. Well if you’re watching this one a second time I love you! Appreciate the support - can’t actually believe we’re still able to tell you about games at all, let alone doing it as a job. Much love! Mark

[@FullMetalB]

Not for much longer if you keep ignoring embargos 🤣

[@kaidorade1317]

So the 3 bears ate Goldilocks and turned their home into an inn to hide the evidence of said crime? Sounds about right

[@blizmo2]

Deja Vu 🤣👍

[@ParanormallyAwesome]

You guys are my go to for anything switch, absolutely well done videos, and clear and well written reviews 🎉❤ you guys rock.

[@MrHusky86]

Haha thought it might have been an embargo things. Was watching and then the review disappeared! Well worth the wait though!

[@GojoStiglitz]

When one of the most reliable gaming channels on KZbin says “if you loved Stardew Valley you’ll love this game” and you start downloading the game before the video completes. That’s the kind of trust that I don’t even have with my closest friends.👏🏾

[@SwitchUpYt]

Love it mate - just make sure you watch the part about the controls as well, they need work but once you’ve got them it all clicks. Mark

[@Caffeinated_Warrior]

I did the exact same thing. Just downloaded straight after "If you loved Stardew Valley...".

[@the77th]

Very True! This is what INTEGRITY looks like

[@samwithkats]

My heart beat increased significantly after he said that lol

[@joshuaadrian8225]

If im not sure wether or bot to buy a game .. i go straight to switch up!

[@aliiiem7184]

So happy you've done a review of this! I've been waiting for it for AGES and I know SwitchUp will always give a fair review - so happy it's as good as the trailers made it look!

[@magimus13]

Seems like a chill yet frantic game. Love those. I’ll have to pick this gem up at some point. Thanks for an awesome review as usual!

[@SwitchUpYt]

Cheers Magnus! Mark

[@hughjorgen1051]

I hope the devs take your feedback to heart, and make some tweaks to the menu controls. I’m a Stardew fan, so this game is on my wishlist.

[@Torikakae]

"It made me feel happy!" might be the best review and recommendation any game can get

[@silla42]

This looks like something I’d love to play! I just bought Ooblets though, and I also still haven’t finished Graveyard Keeper or Two Point Hospital, so it should probably go on my wishlist for now. Hopefully by the time I’m ready to play it they will have increased the text size, because that looked pretty small even on my iPad screen. But your enthusiasm for this game really showed and I’m looking forward to trying it out!

[@Em-fz5uh]

How do you feel about Ooblets ? Judging by your comment, I think we like the same games 😄.

[@silla42]

@@Em-fz5uh I’m loving it so far! It feels like the perfect combination of Stardew Valley and Pokemon, and maybe a little Animal Crossing. And the art style is super cute. A lovely cozy game that I want to play all the time when I should be doing other things 😂

[@adiaslife]

I heard two point hospital is supposed to be a really fun one also so it’s definitely a game I’d have to put on my wishlist also

[@grimeval1429]

that walking-bear animation so simple yet so adorable

Absolutely

Incredible review as always, I’ve been anticipating it! We can always count on you for a fair, balanced, and enthusiastic commentary on your feelings about a game. Much love, and congratulations on the subscriber milestone! Most definitely deserved x

[@SwitchUpYt]

Thank you mate! Mark

[@jipiboily]

Well said! :) 100% agree. SwitchUp is my goto source for great, fair, and fun reviews!

[@aaaaston]

4:20 it actually made me stop playing after 5hrs. I couldn't let my mind wander off into the woods, always had to actively think about which combination of buttons to press for any action... I soooo wanted to enjoy this game !

[@Nedwig747]

Yup, this game looks like a lot of fun. I loved stardew but the farming sim type game is getting to be a bit saturated. Running a bed and breakfast seems like a breath of fresh air!

[@Tambrose0405]

yes it's extremely over saturated! I'm so tired of the same formula over and over with out any other new ideas or creativity.

[@repeekyraidcero]

Saame I only got SDV so I can alway say "Wait. I already have a farm game !"

[@jynx1891]

there are a lot of farming sims but... stardew is the only good one since harvest moon (thats how i feel about it), dont talk about mytime at portia or crap like that those games doesnt exist to me ^^" i could really use some more GOOD farming sims... :

[@adinakruijssen3056]

@@jynx1891 it's not as in-depth as stardew valley, but if you like minecraft too then I'd check out Staxel. It's basically the sdv/harvest moon/farming mod I always wanted in minecraft, and the building and town design/customization I always wanted in farming games. It's also super cool because it's not just your farm that you have control over - you can renovate (build like in minecraft) every building in town, or just the paths and parks outside. which I really liked to use as motivations/goals and never got bored because of that. If you don't like building at all though, then the game wouldn't be for you because even though the farming is pretty good (between harvest moon/story of seasons and stardew valley level quality I'd say), but it probably won't keep you engaged for long if you're not interested in the idea of designing the town/surrounding area. To be clear, the game does start with a fully built town (but run down farm of course), and the buildings aren't like ugly, so you can certainly play the game without worrying about that, but it's fun to dabble in changing interiors or expand the museum so you feel motivated to catch all the bugs and stuff and put them in there. After playing the latest animal crossing, the museum in sdv felt a little lacking (it makes sense for the town but is a bit lame just being on pedastals and bookshelves. And you used to not be able to move anything once donated, but thankfully concerned ape changed that). So it's fun to play a farming game and change the museum to be more like AC - like building little habitats for the bugs instead of just having them in a cage or something.

[@jynx1891]

[@lotheravanti4295]

This review convinced me that this game is worth it for me. Thanks guys, you do amazing work. 3/4 out of everything I have on Switch and played and enjoyed is thanks to your channel.

[@robertportis6881]

Yup... this game is now on my list of wants. It looks incredible! Thanks switch up!

[@sarahnaomieart]

I love this game too, I've been playing it on switch but I agree that there's a bit too many buttons/menus, I find it a bit confusing when decorating and having to go into my inventory each time and accidentally backing out or pressing Y a lot, I think they could maybe re-work the menus and overall feel of the game, even having to press "take all" everytime you want to pick something up is a bit tedious, otherwise, super fun!

[@Swiss_44]

Haha I saw this review pop up yesterday, then was like "I'll watch it later". Thought I was crazy when I couldn't see it on your channel anymore. Anyways, excellent review as always. Definitely picking this up today!!

[@SwitchUpYt]

I’m glad you came to check it out mate. Really enjoyed this one. Mark

[@2am_cinderella]

I've been waiting for a while for this game, thank you so much for your throughout review ! I'm worried about the controls and the UI and text scaling since I mostly play handheld. I might wait until the game gets an update to address those issues and play ooblets until then. It looks amazing though!!

[@terrancejohnson7289]

Great review man, thanks! Love the happy bit of it. Deff buying right now!

[@SiobhanR28]

Yay take two! Thanks for being so awesome 👌

[@SwitchUpYt]

Thank you mate! Markb

[@exzisd]

This is the kind of game that desperately needs a demo. Part of me is holding off because I have so many games and part of me is holding off because I know how long I spent playing Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing. I can easily imagine getting hooked on this game. The main concern I have is how frantic or overwhelming the micro management gets. It's cool they have NPCs to help with the hotels; would be even better if they gave you options to improve the performance of those NPCs in some way or with some form of in-game currency so they would perform to your standards or go above and beyond just filling the rooms.

[@RichardCCampbell]

It's on sale right now! Thanks for the review!

Just purchased because of this review, looking forward to playing! This game and minekos night garden were two ive been waiting so long for and im so happy this one is out!

[@Em-fz5uh]

I can't express how happy I am hearing that the game is Switch up approve ! It's been on my wishlist on steam for ages, I can't wait to play it !! On reddit, the devs said that they were aware of the controls problem and the text size (it was a bug apparently) so hopefully there will be a patch soon. I like that we run a bed and breakfast, it's something we havent seen too much. I played Little Dragon café a while ago, which had a similar premise but this one seems a lot better ! Between this, Potion permit and Harvestella in November, my poor backlog is going to cry lol.

Oh that's very cool just takes time to figure those controls out they're not right but they can be overcome haha

Been waiting for this one since it was announced way back at the beginning of this year (end of last year?) and your mark (no pun intended) of approval is the final convincing argument I needed to add yet another game in my backlog while I finish up XC3. Cheers indeed 👍🏻

[@CuttleFresh]

Awesome review guys, might pick this up tonight or if not definitely eventually. There seems to be a specific genre I become obsessed with every year or so, for 2022 it appears to be what they call ‘cosy games’ like this one! 😳😅

YES! Now I just need Potion Permit and Minekos night market to be as good and we have a veeeeery cozy winter in the horizon!

[@BlingBlingDubuLove]

Was waiting for this review! It’s nice to hear there’s a staff member who can take some load off you and that you can let them manage only one or two or however many rooms you decide. I’m wondering if you can control the rate of customers booking a room to begin with though? Like in graveyard keeper I could control when I wanted more corpses by putting a carrot out for the donkey or not, which really helped me take it at my own pace. Just worried that customers will come flooding in and I’d get too stressed. Otherwise the visuals and gameplay look great! Thanks for the review!

Yep you could book nobody in if you wanted to. Mark

Thank you for the honest and well written review, I was looking a game like this one to relax at nights or to play after work so I will give the game a try.

[@LifeOutward]

This review convinced me to get this game, and I really enjoy it so far. It's a lot to take in, but can see myself getting lost in it. However, after only about three hours in, I've had three crashes already. Also, feels like way too much dialogue for this kind of game. But as loveable as a big ol' bear, so I'm digging it. Thanks for the review!!

[@SwitchUpYt]

It’s such a pain when you get a lot of crashes, make sure you install to internal memory the patch is done and waiting approval from Nintendo apparently. Mark

great review, nice one switchup! cant wait to see more of zelda 2 in next months

[@switchunboxing]

What a glowing review! I was pretty much solving in the first couple minutes. I’ve only had this one in the corner of my eye. With so many games coming out, I didn’t give this one a chance because you have to prioritize, you know. But now I might be looking at this again! I do wish the visuals were more appealing. I know the style is going to depend on personal preference. But with so much decorating, I wanted this to look a little more pretty. But it sounds like there’s a possibility I will change my mind once I pick it up. Controls and tutorials are pretty important though lol so knowing you, we might have the same grape there.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yeah the controls take a while to get to grips with. A right pain but worth sticking with! Mark

[@stephenpoole1774]

Thanks for this review. I’ve been on the fence with this one, but am looking for something fun to take up time over my long U.S. Thanksgiving Holiday that will also entertain me in downtimes on our Viking River cruise next week. Your review made up my mind! I bought it and will be starting to build my own B&B’s with Bear❤

[@Ray__E]

What a charming game. I only heard of it recently from the channel's upcoming games video. It really looks like a game you can unwind and get lose so much time to. The controls seem overwhelming but I don't think that's a deal breaker. Thank you for the review. I will pick this up at some point.

Love the review! Though I shouldn't have watched it because I'm holding out for Aka - the cozy game where you're a red panda - but this looks oh so tasty! Also "Scores don't mean everything, do they?" Obvs not because you gave the clear Game of the Year 80%. (Yes, I'm still loving Cult of the Lamb).

[@SwitchUpYt]

Lol that scored lower because performance was abysmal on switch to be fair :D

[@austinsheehan3994]

@@SwitchUpYt I haven't had any issues with it. Sure, the combat would be a little smoother at 60fps instead of 30, but that doesn't really detract from it that much, and I've not experienced any other bugs, so - it might just be me - but I think 'abysmal' is a bit harsh.
