[@kcant65]

Unicorn Overlord is my game of the year. It's the game I needed since I beat Ogre Battle 64. So yes a long wait.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yes it's so damn good! Mark

[@Pete-vz5uj]

I really want to see the original Fallout and Fallout 2 on Switch

[@Alex-pm7eq]

For sure, along with the community fixes!

[@davidhawkins5834]

😢

[@gh0stmike37]

"- my backlog" I felt this negative in my soul. Love your channel!

[@threeswordssama]

Finally starting Unicorn Overlord this week and I'm already about 20+ hours into it. It's just fantastic and a ton of fun.

[@WiiFan20XX]

You guys never reviewed Balatro. It's one of the best games of the year

[@Geidi174]

Yeah what gives

[@SiobhanR28]

They did mention it in a video but no full review. Guess they can't have time for every game :(

[@LordPsyduck]

Kingdom Come Deliverance brought back that High Immersion Experience that I have been looking for inawhile. Stealing Wench clothes in the Bathhouse is an 10/10 experience.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Completely agree haha

[@JohnSanborn-y2n]

I'm having a blast with Unicorn Overlord. Never since Final Fantasy Tactics has U.O. has been almost equal to FFT for classes and individual unit equipment. The story is great too.

[@jean-francoisrioux847]

Unicorn overlord is excellent. The online system adds really something to the game. Building your team for online will actually helps. And the gambits system is soo well done. I bet it's the goty. Definitely in the strategy category.

[@vanishing_girl]

I bought Unicorn Overlord because of Mark's review and wow what an amazing game

[@SwitchUpYt]

Ah glad you enjoyed it! Mark

[@sparkypack]

Welcome to Drakenhold 🦂

[@ajimmick]

Unicorn overlord GOTY for me so far! It's amazing

[@nineswords]

Just here to second Unicorn Overlord. I’m playing it at the moment and it’s phenomenal.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Fantastic game that one. Mark

[@sparkypack]

Amazing game indeed. A tiny bit felt like receptiveness in the liberation battles at the end and more dramatisation wouldn't hurt its story. The least used characters will sacrifice themselves in a cutscene for example. Bye Lex.. 😄

[@nicholasadamson2103]

I haven't stopped playing since I got it. It's a modern classic.

[@glue7225]

I watch your channel more than I play my switch at this point. You guys are great narrators and it calms my anxiety.

[@nicholasadamson2103]

Unicorn overlord is the tactical rpg Ive been waiting for.

[@concretecurse6594]

Can't wait to play Unicorn Overlord. Just recently replayed Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber, which still holds up great

[@ChinDogToshi]

It's a fantastic game! Music, gameplay, story. I actually never played Ogre Battle at all but really enjoy Unicorn Overlord.

[@jemmadavies3226]

Unicorn Overlord def has a physical, that’s bought I got my copy. Beautiful game

[@sparkypack]

Yeah, saw physical mainly online. The Collectors Edition is possibly sold out already.

[@TinaCentaurides]

HIGHEST RATED NINTENDO CHANNEL FOREVER AND EVER EVER EVER 🔥❤🔥

[@SwitchUpYt]

Woopwoop! Mark

[@bkillinm]

Just finished my play Thru of unicorn overlord, 65 hours to basically 100% and worth every hour. Might give kingdom come a try now

[@ThaCyNiQ]

I like how the Australian prices are the ones that are always the most expensive in every case.

[@michachemowski8518]

Only slightly. Like Unicorn Overlord is $62 converted to USD which is only $2 more. Also the Aussie price includes sales tax, which is tacked on later on the us price. So realistically it’s cheaper.

[@traversal6881]

@@michachemowski8518 Yeah but that doesn't fit the teary narrative that Aussies pay more for games, so people won't break it down like that ;)

[@ThaCyNiQ]

@@michachemowski8518 what are you talking about? Unicorn Overlord is $99 in Australia...

[@ThaCyNiQ]

@@traversal6881 we live in Asia yet we have to pay more for Nintendo products than the US lol

[@Skills_Loading]

Twice I really noticed game length after finishing a game. Resident evil revelations 2. Wished it was longer. Resident Evil village. The game length felt just right.

[@quiddity1977]

For some reason I've never watched moomins! Though I knew of it & loved the art style. Now I see in the his video (after you mention the music is the wonderful thing about it) that it says its by sigur ros!!! I now MUST play the game & watch the series! I've only been able to goto 2 glastonbury festivals so far. One was 2016 when sigur ros played, someone I thought I'd NEVER see live! That set was the most moving & magical experience I've ever had. So beautiful it made me cry.

[@Ray__E]

I love Mud Runners. Never played Snow Runner. I'm definitely interested in Expeditions. I'll pick it up on a discount

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yeah they usually see a discount pretty quick. Mark

[@retrogainz]

Have to give a shoutout to Outward Definitive Edition! No doubt a clunker on the Switch, but I'm finding it very hard to put down. An underrated gem for sure.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Definitely! Mark

[@charlieg6913]

Revising reviews after patches is EXTREMELY important. Especially for those of us who look to these reviews as solid advice in regards to making a purchase. We really appreciate it big time. 👍

[@SwitchUpYt]

You're most welcome! Mark

[@Nedwig747]

Pretty damn solid month of games. Damn! I loved unicorn overlord so much I beat it, then started true zenorian mode and beat it again!

[@thegary9756]

Kingdom come is an awesome game but it crashed 5 times already! I hope there will be a patch soon or something like that.

[@SwitchUpYt]

No way!? That's not right I've got 200 hours on Switch and nowhere near that. Having saud that tho I play hardcore mode so no fast travel maybe it crashes in fast travel or loading?? Mark

[@HappyMSI1]

Crashed once for me. Édit : Twice now.

[@thegary9756]

@@SwitchUpYt You play in handheld or dock?

[@Wil_Dsense]

Doom Eternal used to crash often for me when I first D/L. Then I read somewhere to hold down the power button until ‘power off’… turns out I’d just been putting the switch to sleep instead of turning it off, until then. And since then, the Game never crashed again. I was quite surprised that it actually worked. Worth a try, and good idea to power off the console occasionally too.

[@ericbarnett6220]

I've got roughly 100 hours in and have about 4 crashes under my belt. Usually when I am galloping my horse through rattay or out in the woods. Really surprised it didn't crash during the talmberg horse race. But all in all I'll take the crashes since this game runs amazingly smooth on the switch. So glad I get to enjoy this game now!

[@flyingplantwhale545]

Kingdom come is one of the most impressive ports on the console. The draw distance, lighting, and scenery is absolutely beautiful. Been playing for two weeks straight and can’t put it down.

[@grahamwalker2168]

Not a bad month. There's life in the old nintendog yet!

[@ppbunt]

Four of these games made their way onto my wishlist. My backlog does not need this 😂

[@benalvis6722]

You guys keeping the community alive! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Ser-Smiley]

Oh fine! You win Mark. I'll buy Kingdom Come Deliverance the 1st chance i get. 😅

[@SwitchUpYt]

😂 just be sure you learn the game and I'd also watch a nooby guide. Mark

[@josephhood1591]

Fun fact the dude that made Ogre Battle was a Queen fan, Ogre Battle and March of the Black Queen are two of their lesser known songs.

[@punymagus]

The game you meant was Ogre Battle 64 - Person of Lordly Caliber, I believe.

[@mike6899HD]

Kingdom come is my style of game, im gonna grab it first chance I get, I’m waiting for a review of biomutant on the switch, those 2 are the ones I was expecting

[@rwillmottrw]

I picked up kingdom come deliverance royal edition and absolutely loving it. Happy gaming everyone and thankyuo for all the reviews.

[@zar-cough448]

Im excited to see the all patched up for Expeditions! Snowrunner was one of my favorite games I've played on the switch, but I'm hesitant on Expeditions till it's fixed up Kingdom Come looks like a load of fun, I love a unique game quirk so I think the swordplay of it would be a delight

[@kennygaming208]

I wanna see Wreckfest on here. The devs worked so hard to get that game running on the switch even delaying it. I played it for like 10 years when it was called next car game

[@UndeadEggmiester]

Fractured but whole sounds like what happens when I don't eat enough fiber.

[@Earthling247]

Nice one guys. Always looking for Switchup reviews on games when available. Trustworthy opinions I feel.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Appreciate it mate! Mark

[@juanpecan7089]

New Star GP is awesome - my gaming sweet spot. Everyone buy it so they keep developing the concept.

[@jguerrero7033]

Defo gonna check out Contra soon..I've been playing Contra 3 recently - I hate those exaggerated complaints as well -

[@thebradman4662]

Been checking out vids (including on here!) for KCDD and am highly considering a purchase, it looks right up my alley!

[@SwitchUpYt]

Great game. Mark

[@FacelessFolk]

Pshhh you don't need to make excuses for other creators who rush out a review in 5 seconds and then never touch on it again regardless of amy updates. What you guys do with all patched up and videos like this one where you go back and talk about improvements should absolutely be the standard rb and is why you're my only switch channel I watch. There's way too much rage bait out there and you're proof you don't need to partake in it to do well Anyways, someone get this soap box away from me.

[@jadusiv]

Little weird to click a top games video and have it open with snow day… a game being universally panned. Do you guys just…. say everything is good?

[@SwitchUpYt]

It was the lowest ranked game of the month. Was in last place.....

[@SwitchUpYt]

That's why it was in last place for the month!

[@jadusiv]

@@SwitchUpYt Ok I forgive you, but you’re on thin ice! (this is a snow day pun)

[@illustriouschin]

​@@jadusivYou're dismissed.

[@jesssealey6552]

Despite the tantalising March releases, i have managed to resist making new additions to my backlog but thanks to SwitchUp for keeping me informed of new releases and those upcoming that I can add to my wishlist. Cheers gents!

[@SiobhanR28]

I just picked up Dysmantle on sale and omggggg its beyond addictive. Its so much fun. Still love the Switch after all this time 😊

[@SwitchUpYt]

That's a really good game that one. Underrated. Mark

[@SiobhanR28]

For sure. I'm spending hours just destroying everything 🙃

[@sierstilez]

Snufkin seems like a game that is slept on but amazing. I love music and it’s not very large. Must cop.

[@Tlaranjo]

My pick for the month has to be Pepper Grinder. I’ll grab it eventually tho working on my backlog for the next few weeks

[@MrJimithee]

I'm getting much better at going back to old games that I gave up on, or didn't "GET" (most recently Resi 4)... I think I'm ready for Kingdom Come. Well, I WILL be, on my fifth try! Just waiting for a sale :[

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yeah I think it's important to do that

[@kathrynk3314]

Waiting for my copy of Kingdom Come to arrive! Hopefully there’s an easy difficulty that will be kind 😅

[@shoked99]

Thanks as always for the monthly review.

[@originalulix]

Small nitpick: The first South Park RPG was actually created by famous RPG studio Obsidian.

[@philnolan9903]

Lovin KCD, 60hrs in , maybe 4 crashes, not so bad. Spending far too much time playing Chumps to up my archery

[@Justin-TPG]

4:46 OMG, lads, imagine GTA with vehicles! Would be amazing! Lads? ;) Love you

[@BLSFL_HAZE]

I'd love to see Nightdive's Blood: Fresh Supply get a cross-platform release to get it on the Switch. Although, at this point, I've COMPLETELY given up all hope that will EVER happen. Still sucks, though.

[@matthorwell]

I had so much fun back in the day with Star Wars Battlefront 1 & 2 that I was so excited when I heard it was coming to the Switch, it was a definite buy, but then they only release it as a digital download!? Why??? I'm going to have to hang off buying it until they release it on a cartridge, I'm old school, I like a tangible media that I can hold.

[@ippokratismargiouklas2791]

Damn i might have to cave in and get kingdom come deliverance haha I've been hearing it from you guys and it seems really interesting to me but i think you'd mentioned something about crashing which is why i hadn't tried it. Love your videos guys especially the eshop sales ones, greetings from Greece

[@dazzianocolucci3538]

It's my birthday next month and I'm on the hunt for a new Switch game. Some bangers recently.

[@markiimark6573]

Bought pepper grinder today actually. Can't wait 😊

[@ChinDogToshi]

I'm a new Kingdom Come player and Switch has been great! I finally learned how to read 📚 🤓

[@DB-vi7jb]

Caverns of Dreams made me miss Banjo, so I hoped on Game pass to play it.

[@hellnestor172]

The last month I just played Fire Emblem Heroes and Azure Lane in my phone 😂 and I hope to change my schedule to play another games

[@Lizot1014]

Kingdom come is one of my favorite games rn.

[@SilverShion]

Still waiting for Gwimbly remastered....

[@andylee1982]

Theres a few i want to play but im so hooked on Balatro that nothing else gets a look in.

[@taglor]

Yes Mark, all very well recommending Snufkin but what I need to know is Snork Maiden in the game or not? 😊

[@paulblyth9793]

Some really meaty games came out this month. Could really do with a couple of months to get through them!

[@danielmcclory8675]

I loved this follow up! Thanks you got a follow from me now too!

[@SwitchUpYt]

Cheers mate! Mark

[@caesarspqr5561]

How do we know highest rated? Is there a system like steam where the audience likes/dislikes and put s their input about the game? Thx for the reply

[@ThePaulineu]

It's based on the switchup ratings, those you find at the end of reviews on their channel

[@Skru057]

I think south park game runs into an issue I had w/biomutant were you just can’t feel when or how hard you hit enemies and so combat feels awful. Even with good sound if the combat doesn’t feel hard or like crunchy it just kills the gameplay

[@scotth4598]

I’ve just been playing KCD to be honest 😂

[@Kiteast1]

Great video as always!! 🎉😊

[@mrpmp5384]

This was a pretty decent month for games.

Guys Contra Switch isn’t “fine”. They’re going to patch it for a reason

[@SwitchUpYt]

But it is. I don't see the issue at all

[@Carlos_Jr1984]

@@SwitchUpYt Bah. It’s fairly sluggish in general and shouldn’t be like that. It’ll be fixed soon enough anyway and you can make an all patched up about it. 😀 Seriously, though, I like that series you guys should do more!

Awesome I never miss a show thank you 🎉

[@SwitchUpYt]

Thank you mate! Mark

[@OwleerSpelwerx]

Kingdom Come crashed one too many times that it took the enjoyment out of playing it. I play on the Nintendo Switch Original in handheld only. I tried Princess Peach demo not a bad game but definitely not worth that price in my opinion. Rest of the games I can't comment on because I never played them and some of them aren't my cup of tea.

[@landork1899]

like gta with vehicles? gta have vehicles. 😅

[@danschwartz7891]

Power of ten would get an 88from me.

[@CatFish107]

Come on, how can you give an unfinished game 78%? Co-op coming soon should be OK you can have the other half of your score then. Deduct fifty percent right off the go for that move.
