Great work lads

Vocês merecem!

How do you enter the competition?

[@jesssealey6552]

Font size adjustment is so very appreciated as a handheld exclusive player, thanks Devs and cheers Mark for letting us know about it.

[@ruthurban1959]

Can you also invert x and y camera if playing in 3rd person?

[@jesssealey6552]

@@ruthurban1959 ooh good question 🤔 hopefully an answer is forthcoming or available online 😀

[@FarmerSlideJoeBob]

It's pretty important but not many devs gives you the option, which is sad😔

[@ConditionallyUsed]

woot!

[@johngalt2069]

Agreed. So many games end up unplayable in handheld when you can’t get through tiny menus.

[@aus86]

Being an 80s kid my brother and I fell in love with this game instantly. We spent a lot of hours in this when it was in alpha/beta testing on PC. Each time they released new content we would dive back in and love this game even more! I don't have much time for the PC anymore since the 2nd child so I feel this could be a good investment due to the switches portability.. Can always have a sneaky play while I'm rocking the little one to sleep lol 😂 Cheers for the video guys 💚

[@OneColdMonkey]

Obsidian are such an interesting company. Their games go in so many different directions, and they always manage to pull them off!

[@SiobhanR28]

You guys are crushing it!! What a sponsor. You are the best 🎉🎉😊

[@1smileaday771]

I LOVE the fact that they made it able to play in 3rd person. It's hard for me to enjoy first-person games. I always wondered why it couldn't be optional.

[@ruthurban1959]

Me too!!

[@7Write4This9Heart7]

Same! First person games make me dizzy and nauseous, so I always love when games that either are first person or have it as an option give us third person! Thank goodness! lol.

[@ruthurban1959]

@@7Write4This9Heart7 me too 🙂

[@switchingitup_]

Nice one guys!! Well deserved sponsorship. Knew you would be my go to for the Nintendo Switch version of this game. I am slightly interested in this now, especially as one of "those" Micros games.

[@electricsheep2882]

Nice. This takes me back to the 80's and the wonder I had watching Honey, I Shrunk the Kids in the theater on my birthday. Congrats on the sponsor too. Cheers!

[@zar-cough448]

That looks absolutely delightful! I remember wanting to play it a long time ago but never had means to do so. It's pretty sick that it made its way to switch

[@jamesbrincefield9879]

Possibly my earliest childhood memory is from the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids ride/exhibit on a trip to Universal Studios in 1995. I was obsessed with bugs and watched the movie regularly when I was a kid because of how fascinating I thought the idea of being that small was. Growing up I always wanted a game that captured the experience of being shrunk down to the size of a bug. There have been brief moments in games or entire games that came kind of close like the ant hill in MediEvil, the A Bug’s Life game on PS1, the Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes series, It Takes Two, and Terraria always made me feel like I was exploring an ant farm (I may be the only one who feels that way 🤷‍♂️ ). I’ve always felt like shrinking the player down to that size would make for a really interesting game and it’s always baffled me why it’s so underutilized. When this and Smalland were announced I finally felt justified for feeling that way. I feel like I’ve been preparing for this game my whole life and I’m so happy it’s finally on consoles. I’m downloading it on my PS5 right now. If any developers happen to see this, thank you for making my childhood dream come true.

[@Ken-yg2nr]

I have been playing this the last two days and loving it. So happy they brought it to switch

[@cerra74]

I was waiting only for your video. You guys are the best.

[@jamess6549]

This looks really cool. It reminds me of Toy Story because of the tiny perspective. Amazing channel and congrats on the sponsorship!

[@JamesKennedy-wu7gj]

This was a great video, ive been watching you guys for about a year now and it has never been dull watching a video from you guys. Have a good rest of your day switchup.

[@hsejester]

As someone who owns and plays Grounded on Steam Deck, I kinda just want it on Switch. Why do I want to play every game on the switch?!?! Also, grats on the sponsor friends, you guys deserve it, definitely the best Switch channel out there!

[@juniperwool]

I am so excited about this game!! You guys are worth working with! Your videos are great!

[@Nathd1367]

Congrats on the sponsorship 😀

[@AndresBadel1]

Very cool to see Microsoft (by extension) sponsor this video, but not going to lie I'd been selfishly hoping you all would give a proper review of the game once it released

[@Twinflameascending]

I was waiting for your review. Buying it so thank you for this video ❤

[@BellaDonna420]

So happy to hear your positive review! Looking forward to reliving my childhood in game form!

[@unitearica]

Gotta say, your guys reviews have been fair for any game you’re reviewing. TY for this review as I have been interested in it, but really wanted to see it running on the Switch first.

[@regisk]

I was hoping for a real review. But congrats on the big sponsor anyway! You guys rock

[@JaimeTheHood]

I am so proud of you guys! You deserve all the best, fr!

[@sherry8414]

Great review! I'm definitely getting this one.

[@ppbunt]

Obsidian as a sponsor? Nice one guys, gg!

[@Geffry993]

i don't like that on sponsored video you don't speak about performances (while is your main focus on personal reviews) and from the footage they honestly look not that great. Keep the integrity up for your community :)

[@huyjustin99]

Same, they don't show up the real performance and negative things about the game at all, when the game has sponsored.

[@JamieSnow-j5o]

it's called being a Shill... ​@@huyjustin99

[@TheFrankm3]

This looks awesome. I re watched Honey I Struck the kids fairly recently. It holds up well, forgot how much of it contained practical effects. Hopefully this will take me back to my childhood.

[@WhispyWoods.]

I would not have guessed this was such a deep game. Thanks!

[@Assassinbrothers50]

Ive been waiting for this to come to switch!!! Finally I can play this wherever I go ❤

[@Gambit2483]

Appreciate you guys not giving a proper review since the video was sponsored...but was really hoping for a critique specifically for the Switch version, i.e. how well it runs and if there are any issues. Great video regardless 👍

[@Salmonell.a]

These videos always keep my attention, this game look interesting I'm waiting for your review!

[@Jojopenguin89]

Thank you for the overview of the Switch port of this game, gents! I loved playing this game on my Xbox One, and it looks like I will bee picking it up again on Switch! Cheers!

[@DisguisedSheep12]

I've been thinking about getting this one for a bit. It looks so interesting! I always love survival ganes

[@jaymondo]

This is one of the best games I have ever played, so glad it's on switch. Amazing - how did they do it?

[@tomcurtis7799]

This has surprised me with how good it looks and smooth it seems to play. Definitely on the wish list!

[@joatagewin]

I've always been curious about this one. I had no idea it was by Obsidian tho, that's cool.

[@David-kb8vh]

I played this a few years ago on game pass and did not like it because it was in early alpha. I am very interested in revisiting this game after watching your video. Playing in hand held is also a big plus. Keep up the awesome videos

[@paulstreet5750]

Looks good, increasing the font size is ideal for handheld. Definitely one for me and the kids.

[@ChillT0kyo]

I am so excited this game is on switch, I absolutely loved the look of this when it came to Xbox but never got the chance to play it. Can’t wait for when I can get this!

[@euden]

I'd love to give this a shot on switch, played some on Xbox when it first came out but it's been a while since. Thanks for the preview guys! I could see myself putting many hours into this!

[@majorasecho]

Glad to see it running as well as it does on switch. This was a game i wanted to play for years on my xbox but never got around to it but i definitely will once that switch physical comes out!

[@PlayerPren]

Ooooh I’ve been waiting to hear what you guys think about it👍

[@joshuamorrison2719]

Looks cool! Love your guys' content😊

[@Gamer-G27]

I'm glad this game was ported to the Nintendo Switch. I’ve been updated on the development on this game from my friends playing on pc, so having cross platform support is definitely a huge benefit and night even be the reason I pick up the game! Glad this review came out so I didn’t miss that!

[@scrambamble7309]

I’m a long time fan of this game and I’ve been wanting it on Switch forever. I’m so glad to hear performance is solid. Thanks for the review!

[@jaydig2]

Sold. I definitely need this! I knew it was on the Xbox, but now we have it on the go.

[@Nikinjapan]

Really appreciate all the accessibility options to lower water/food requirements and even to make yourself invulnerable to attacks. Will definitely be getting a copy or 2 to play with my kids

[@derrota]

I didn't know this game was coming to switch! Great news

[@_Ukiyo_]

"Worm.... Worm Never Changes." I loved that reference to fallout :D

[@alx.burgir]

I was super excited when I saw the announcement. I'm glad the port is a success, can't wait to play!

[@zombea_jones]

i preordered this one, kept checking after midnight to see if it could run, but had to wait until the next morning. thank goodness i was off that day, because i spent hours playing lol

[@PFialho]

another greate game from Obsidian and it's now available on Switch, clearly a game to buy!!! and with the perk of taking us back to the early 90's with the Shrunk the kids vibe. thanks for the review

[@chelseap9970]

I immediately texted my wife telling her about this game. Being able to change from 1st or 3rd person removes any motion sickness issues and I’m pretty stoked! This sounds awesome and it’s on my wishlist before the video even finished.

[@dannygoodrich8065]

What a cool looking game. The nostalgia of the honey i shrunk the kids similarity doesnt hurt. Live the idea of being able to switch between 1st and 3rd person.

[@StiffAftermath]

Blown away at this gem of a game. So happy to play this and pre-order the Limited Run physical edition which is still up as of this comment. Amazing game! 😊

[@arbitrarynightjar2788]

I'm arachnophobic.... but I'm still gonna fight the giant spiders..... if I did it in Skyrim, I can definitely try it here. *shudders

[@NickybobGames]

Loved this game on GamePass! Looks like a real banger for the Switch! Definitely a must have for any survival game fans!

[@JohnWestIV]

Was curious how this was gonna run on the Switch, I'm glad to see it's not a let down!

[@definitely-a-b0t]

I have been waiting for this game ever since it was announced on steam. Now I have a daughter to play it with! Thank you for this review

[@Basilboy64]

Winning this game would be sick. I’ve been wanting this to come out on Switch for ages and my prayers have been answered! 🙌🏻

[@mekman4]

Great Stuff, as always!

[@ambyramenra]

Oooo. It looks good. I’m excited to play this one. 🤞🏾

[@Hahvayz]

Awesome video as always guys, how about the Kingdom Come: Deliverance II reveal though!?

[@Mario00064]

Would be great if you could post your usual performance evaluation of this game.

[@NathanaelRibeiro]

Honey I shrink the kids is a great movie, I showed it to my son a few months ago and he loved it, thanks for the video.

[@ivancho5854]

I'm really looking forward to this and I think that I'll have to rewatch Honey I Shrunk The Kids too. Thanks guys. 🐞

[@philnolan9903]

Great video guys, gonna channel my inner David Bellamy on this playthrough 😊

[@petertaylorarts]

I really hope Valve bring some games across. I love that big tech are reaching out to you guys. You deserve it. My go to for all gaming content

[@Ace-yx8ut]

Looks great, had it on my pc wishlist for a while. But would be nice to play it in handheld on the switch 👍

[@XiaoPichu]

I have a funny feeling this is going to be one of the few games the FPS for others don't live up to the SwitchUp report... I was really hoping to find more Switch deep dive info on the game vs explaining what the game is for any platform, nevertheless thank you for the video.

[@theunknown6412]

Another wishlist 😁😁😁 can't wait you guys review it on Nintendo Switch and the game looks perfect Switch 👍👍👍

[@chillieans6474]

I've tried playing this game with friends but I didn't have an Xbox to play with them, and since it came to other platforms witch is nice maybe a switch copy would be nice especially since it has cross platform. Love the videos they are always great to watch. ❤😊

[@patrickkille1675]

Everyone I know who plays this loves it. Excited to have it on switch!

[@CornySR]

what a gem of a game. looks awesome. thanks for the video.

[@Joehamer8]

Played this a bit on Xbox a while ago. Sounds like it would be great on switch to play it on the go. Lots of nostalgia too!

[@lewisbyrne599]

This game had somehow passed me by and after watching this video it will be my next purchase. Looks great fun

[@PatrickJohn94]

I have played this game on PC for over 50hrs I enjoyed it looking forward playing it on switch

[@HOTHEADstudios]

I was expecting a full review but an overview is just as good. I always go to you gents for your fair reviews regardless and this game has been on my radar since Neebs Gaming. The price is not bad and the performance looks solid. I guess my biggest challenge is whether to face it solo or try to find friends 😅 Happy Gaming 🍻

[@DerpyMcSquirtle]

This game looks great, one of my friends plays this on Xbox and has been wanting me to play too so may have to pick this up and hopefully play with him

[@samuelcarcasses2619]

I appreciate the content. Game is great, seems to run well on switch

[@pupunoob]

Obsidian is one of my fave studio ever.

[@GryphonPatterson]

Watched this game a lot on streams when it came out, but alas no PC for me. Was worried that it would be a meh port and while the visuals are definitely toned down, it looks like it plays well! Thanks for the preview.

[@weslyn1021]

I can't wait to check this one out

[@Mikeymikesyeah]

Looks good, definitely interested in playing this.

[@dangruca2766]

Honey I Shrunk The Kids was the first thing that crossed my mind. Looks awesome.

[@TheProlificA3]

I used to play this on Xbox and it was pretty dope. I’m glad it’s on handheld now.

[@tdotran]

I love the idea of the game. You getting shrunk is such a cool idea. Not my type of game but it’s definitely on my wishlist.

[@videogamechangers605]

I'm old enough to remember Honey, I Shurnk the Kids and this game looks like it hits that feeling for sure.

[@SirEvilestDeath]

I never thought this would come to the Switch. It seemed like a perfect fit but Microsoft wanted to hold on to it for a while. I’m glad it retains its charm and playability on the Switch.

[@jesssealey6552]

*shoots giant Ant* Oh no Anty, I'm sorry but at least this is quicker than a scorpion tail through the thorax.

[@MrAllansito]

What a lovely game! I’ve never heard of it but looks very interesting, I would like to give it a try!

[@robertnorton7198]

I still have this game on VHS 😅

[@chrisdiokno5600]

I'd love to grab a copy, seen gameplay of this for the PC edition for ages

[@Fiercedeity3101]

It looks fun. Will probably wait before buying since my backlog is screaming 😂

[@girthvader1551]

Reminds me of a computer game i played as a kid on the 90s - bugdom

[@angelfieseler5358]

The review I’ve been waiting for

[@superwaynem]

Visuals aren’t brilliant but it still plays decent and I’m throughly enjoying it. I could’ve bought the PS5 version but I just want the handheld chilled experience, well. Until those pesky spiders chase you 🤢. The only main issue I’m having at the moment is not being able to turn on cross play, keep getting an annoying error message but I think they’re aware of this and working on a fix. Great video as always 😊

[@Ubobbob]

Wow reminds me so much of the movie, i watched it so much when i was young lol.

[@damienkrawczuk1435]

Oh my giddy aunt I thought exactly the same thing, a playable honey I shrunk the kids, yeah I heaps want this game

[@ania96157]

this sounds a bit like subnautica but you're small and not in the water, sounds awesome
