and by the way... those game are not new. clickbait even

Die Hard is legit! I have an ugly Christmas sweater to prove it

[@n1nj4l1nk]

Honestly, I'm not a fan of fps at all but I do like watching you two (from a distance)😲😳 as your banter reminds me of hanging out with my best mate that I haven't seen in 5 years. I've said it before but inXile has gone way out of order with the lawsuits over the word wasteland. I think their are 4/5 games that they've gone after so far. I would have watched this last night but I was on a bad rabbit hole trying to figure out where all the Zelda maps go on the the BotW one. After hours going down the wrong way I realised that from official sources that the bottom part of the Zelda II map is the top N.E of the BotW (from the path going upto the last woods down to the kakariko graveyard then across below the Zora domain). Which means the very first dungeon ever was where the Zora throne is now. It also means the top part of the Zelda II map and the eastern continent are out of the playable map in BotW (but do kinda line up with what has been mapped by people going out of bounds in BotW). I'm so good at staying on topic 😂

[@Under_Sky_Third_Gaia]

Tha KS foe the pin 📌 guys 👍

[@WitteDeWith83]

One of my favorite genres! Like, I already said...need Half-Life 2 on the Switch 😊 Have a good one guys!

[@terminalpower.]

Yea either of the first 2 Half-Life games would be awesome on Switch.

[@SwitchUpYt]

FR we need that and Half Life 3 😂

[@christov8752]

There should be an orange box port for Switch

[@WitteDeWith83]

All with gyro controls off course! That's the only reason I didn't buy the Bioshock collection on Switch.

[@QuestionThings123]

​@@christov8752it is strange we just got the portal portion of it and not the whole orange box, one can hope I guess

[@WovenBrute]

Bulletstorm is an absolute underrated masterpiece. I remember grinding the games online play, to get all achievements and 1000 gamer score, when it released on 360. Thank you so much for including it! Cheers gents, exactly what I needed after work!

[@TheAppifier]

Yeah, to me Bulletstorm, even with the janky insert of the Duke, is still a better Duke Nukem game than DNF.

[@zombieplague1266]

Bolt gun, Bioshock, Borderlands, Goldeneye are all amazing games. I’m really glad you included Dusk also

[@esperago]

I appreciate that they include Boltgun. I had it noted under my "to buy" list but then began thinking it was a RTS game, which is not my bag. Was gonna remove it. Glad I didn't, as it turns out it's a FPS. Who knew? Not me. Lol

[@poneymagique5978]

So many good memories with Golden Eye on N64, like my first memories of my parents going out for dinner without me and letting me and my brother play the N64 during that time. We also used to play Perfect Dark. That was sooooo nice ❤

[@esperago]

I just love that blocky N64 style, too. Doom 64 on Switch was a real gem.

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

Owned both Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, very good games and Rare at their creative peak.

[@poneymagique5978]

@@Adamtendo_player_1 i wish we could get Perfect Dark on the Switch, just for the memories ❤️

[@jesssealey6552]

Another morning made infinitely more bareable by the fine SwitchUp crew with the witty banter and insight I've become accustomed to. I am rather keen on both the Bioshock and Crysis remastered Collections and its great to see the positives here towards them. Coincidentally I have just finished the main story in Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition and am enjoying the DLC; Guns, Love and Tentacles which, after a slow start, has managed to refresh the experience and provide a greater challenge. I can recommend starting the DLCs if you find the main story antagonists a little grating. However, personally I feel Borderlands 2 is the best experience for the series so I can recommend getting the Legendary Collection if you are interested. Eight days down, only five left, keen to see what they'll be. Cheers guys!

[@Mim-id5um]

I wish there was more shooter games on the switch, it's kind of tough to find one right now. Thanks for making this list.

[@SwitchUpYt]

There are SO MANY hopefully this helps. Mark

[@shallows529]

Agree. I would like cod to come to the switch soon.

[@melaniapina6368]

I’m terribly bad at this kind of games, so I must say they are not my favorites, but your natural and chill way of telling never fails to entertain, no matter what the topic is! This videos are such a nice moment of the day and the music you use deserves some love too ❤️

[@duckwaffles7447]

I got borderlands this year in January and played through it with my brothers and was quite pleased with how it ran on the switch. I’d highly recommend any of them (though I’ve not yet bought or played borderlands 3 on the switch)

[@ppbunt]

Never played many console FPS games , and then I discovered gyro-aiming. Happy days! And yes it sucks that Bioshock doesn’t have it, such amazing games.

[@theMeshtar]

On the 6th day of Christmas my SwitchUp gave to me A perfect headshot and a flawless victory (This flow is worth a like)

[@jtscharf48]

fantastic list. not a first person shooter, but splatoon 3 is fantastic. had its hooks in me for a long time

[@jonsawyer6977]

Dying Light, Nightmare Reaper, Chasm, Rico, Exodemon, Immortal Redneck. Genuinely surprised Dying Light was omitted. Not enough people know about Exodemon or Nightmare Reaper, it’s a shame. Glad to see Fashion Police though.

[@r_apt_ure]

I know it's not a FPS but Rad Rodgers also let's you play as Duke Nukem, I think he was added later. Great FPS list and I have quite a few and now will have to add at least one of these I don't have.

[@MattTheHun]

Another great list, you guys are killing this 12 days countdown with an absolute killing spree 😅 I love to see that Switch has such a fantastic lineup in one of my fav genres. Prodeus and Boltgun are sick in the best possible way 😈

[@SwitchUpYt]

Ultra kill kill kill

[@marcosmeza04]

Seeing Doom being one of the best FPS series on the Switch is so satisfying! They've come a long way since the classic SNES games. In other news, I am looking forward to Star Wars: Dark Forces!

[@davidkpayne]

I’m pleased Dying Light got an honorary mention! Deffo not a straight up FPS so I get why it’s not in the main list, but it’s one hell of a game. Thanks guys, loving this series x

[@pheonix9372]

Boltgun is an excellent example of a throwback style. Used to love Doom with cheat codes and this brings me the same visceral joy. Def a festive season fav... The snow starts falling, and a cozy glow fills the air as we sit surrounded by the trappings of the holidays. Then time to whip out the ChainSword and maul all comers, slathered in gore, a pumping soundtrack the backbeat of the slaughter.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Hehehehe. - Mark

[@peternajim8822]

Love the Doom and Borderlands games on handheld. Doom 3 and Eternal are just magnificent! Also a big fan of Hypercharge and Dying Light.

[@darrenparr2967]

I've been craving an fps. I didn't realise we had this many options on switch. Thank you gents

[@SwitchUpYt]

So many! Mark

[@GBR715]

I love watching people play fps games but I usually suck at playing them. That being said I really enjoy playing borderland games with friends. Great video keep up the good work!

[@kevinbriones1431]

Playing Borderlands, the bundle is a great game, plus the additional content it has, is great.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Heck yeah - we’re moving on to Borderlands 2 now I think. Mark

[@danclifford1027]

​@@SwitchUpYtany possibility of joining in on co-op play on borderlands 2??

[@mattallen3097]

I spent many friday nights until 3am with mates on Goldeneye, with 4 TVs strung together and paper over 3 quarters of each screen. Great times but i think that game is best left as a memory now! Things have moved on so much but it's such a defining moment for 90s gamers!

[@malcolmar]

Great review. Merry Christmas everyone! As a whole, just looking at the variety of games you covered just reminds me how much fun can be had on the Switch and just with FPS alone. Now a days I think too much emphasis is put on how powerful a game console is. Nintendo has always been about fun games and this video proves that and on top of that you not only have the fixability to play these games on the TV but on the go as well on a system that has the best battery life of any major portable gaming console out there. The fact we are at this point with tech is definitely something I don't take for granted. Thanks again.

[@bwittykatt]

I loved Borderlands 1 and 2 back in the day. Haven’t gotten around to try 3 yet, I’m waiting to pick it up when it goes on sale. So glad they brought it to the switch!

[@BazBrown]

Probably my favorite Christmas memory is spending the whole 2 weeks off school playing Golden Eye while listening to angsty 90's music when I was in middle school. Simpler times.

[@paulblyth9793]

The first Metro and Bioshock 1 & Infinite are fantastic. Gotta say, Mark must he feeling rough - a whole video dedicated to first person shooters and he only says “gyro” twice?! Feel better soon dude

[@GamesOffTheShelf]

Not really a fps player. Maybe some call of duty back in the day on playstation. I do appreciate the list though, it shows just how many are available on Switch for those into the genre. Thanks for another video. I look forward to these each day when I get home from work.

[@theevildude666]

I really love the quake games! They have been so ahead of their time. The gameplay is so much fun single and multiplayer

[@silla42]

I haven't yet found a first person game that I can play without feeling sick, but this was an enjoyable listen as always. I wish I could listen to these videos at work, it would make the 3am shifts a bit more bearable.

[@mayralex18]

to be fair Glenn, when i think of christmas related media the first thing that comes to my mind is that scene from "home alone" of the kid watching that ganster movie and the guy saying "merry christmas you filthy animal" so i say this video is very christmatsy for me

[@SwitchUpYt]

Hahaha same! Mark

[@bradleyperry1923]

SO MANY great FPS games both old and new. Man just watching this video hit me with nostalgia and excitement. Thanks guys ❤

[@ph111hud0]

Guys talking of PlayStation, do you remember 'Timesplitters'? I think it may have been PS2, I bought it and had a go for 15 minutes and it was making me feel sick, it seemed to be too fast and too colourful for me, lucky me took it straight back to the shop, because I was always in the shop the guy knew me and agreed to change it for me, can't remember what I changed it for. The good old days hey.

[@terminalpower.]

TimeSplitters 3 is my most wanted game on the Switch.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Timesplitters was so damn good. Mark

[@ph111hud0]

@@SwitchUpYt ouuhh god nooo, it made me awfully sick, you rebels !!

[@sevensyns7732]

I was worried that you forgot Void Bastards but your explanation at the end reassured my faith in the channel. Lovely list, can't wait to see what is next.

[@icca871]

One of the first game types I remember playing on a computer as a kid. Lots of hour’s playing doom. Not a genre I play a lot anymore but I do still enjoy them.

[@mackers_855]

Awesome list, need to give that Warhammer a go missed that. Still waiting for the Orange Box collection and will finally have all the classics I need on Switch! (Maybe rare replay as well actually:-) )

[@Rinnk]

Perfect Dark remaster, please! Thank you for another amazing video.

[@nicked_fenyx]

Some really great games. Borderlands is the one I keep going back to. There are also some decent FPS roguelites available as well. It's not my favorite genre, but it draws me in from time to time.

[@huzcer]

for fps roguelites what do you recommend outside of immortal redneck which I like?

[@nicked_fenyx]

@@huzcer Since you like Immortal Redneck (I do too), definitely check out Ziggurat 2 if you haven't already. The first Ziggurat is good, but I'd recommend just starting with the second since I feel like it's the better option. A lot of people love Risk of Rain 2, but for some reason it never stuck with me. Might be worth a try though if you haven't yet done so. One that's a bit different but a personal favorite of mine is Void Bastards. I know there are others as well but I'm blanking on them atm, lol. Hopefully this helps at least a bit?

[@huzcer]

@@nicked_fenyx cheers

[@icecreamcake5381]

It's crazy because last night I was just thinking about what FPS game I should try during the Christmas break and this was your next video. I don't really play FPS games so this was nice and informative!

[@DracoBudSmith]

BioShock is always my comfort game for FPS. Been playing the New Game Plus multiple times.

[@ToddSupplies]

Great list of games. Love a good pick up and play first person shooter.

[@uvin2730]

Such a good list, some absolute pearlers. I do love some Wolfenstein. Underrated franchise for pure fun

[@cmcsdf]

Bright memory looks incredible, I remember the demo but didn’t realize there was a full game on the switch out. Those graphics are so crisp you could bite into them

[@DrNZodd]

Bioshock is one of my most favorite series of all time. The music, environments, the ambience it just all adds up to make such a cool world. Played through them on PC but definitely worth the price on switch.

[@JPalinkas1993]

I am surprised Half Life 1 & 2 are not on the Switch. I'd buy em immediately.

[@ggburnside]

Well done for wearing the Xmas jumper

[@minjod]

I've been waiting for this video. Kinda hard to believe Switch has so many great ones. Quake 2 is one of my all time favorites, one of the first FPS games I've ever played back in.... LAN multiplayer matches with neighbours. Oh and also, Bioshock 1 and 2 are pretty much perfect games.

[@FacelessFolk]

I absolutely love the quakes and dooms. I've no idea how dusk has slipped through the cracks for me but I'm all in. Love me some horror in basically anything.

[@isaacsh789]

I can’t wait to get into the turok remasters

[@NicholasHutchings]

Great video guys. Love the format and gives me a great overview of the best FPS for switch. I don't even like FPS if I'm honest, but this vid makes me think I should pick up one or two!

[@cantoniodasilva]

I’ve just realized how much I like fps games, I’ve played most of these on various platforms already. Many great games on this list, thanks!

[@mcnutty6031]

Doom 2016 got me back into FPS, was a breath of fresh air when it released

[@Reelzy]

We need more fps games on the switch , definitely one of the most iconic genres.

[@Jahranimo_]

COD in 2025 should be nice regarding iconic ones eh?

[@n1nj4l1nk]

​@@Jahranimo_CoD/Activision support grooming, have some self respect, morals and integrity and stay away from them.

[@AlexDayz]

Not really a genre I’m into but it’s always fun learning about new games. Good gift ideas for someone who might be more into FPS games

[@harryala2872]

The jumper returns... 5/6 games that I've literally never heard of, which I feel like never happens anymore - Fashion Police looks insane. Seconding Untold sponsor segment, Golf Club Wasteland/Nostalgia was one of my favourite games I played this year.

[@BlaqueT]

12 days of Switch-mas is always a gaming highlight for the year 😂 keep up the great work, and fingers crossed for the 'Switch 2' next year and many more SwitchUp puns

[@detuner33]

Loved Golf Club Nostalgia, played through it once… listened to the OST a zillion times! It’s like an old school radio play 😮

[@markharrison2315]

Prodeus for me! The only 1st person game that's on Switch that I've played all the way to the end this year. Loved it.

[@Setsuzoku]

Hypercharge, that one tower defense toy themed FPS, is one of my favorite Switch titles

[@codypowell8432]

Boltgun is one of my favorite fps on the switch! The taunting and chainsword just make that game so fun

[@aaronklein6788]

Golf Club Nostalgia got me too. It's an interesting name change that completely passed me by.

[@ania96157]

Love how this series look at so many differnt games even tho FPS is not my types of games, keep up the good work

[@MMH21998]

Fashion Police Squad looks like it could be a blast. I'd never heard of it before now. This 12 Days has been great.

[@liahbobita]

Ive never been too into the FPS genre but splatoon has been really catching my eye recently, i love how charming the art style is!

[@JohnD131]

A genre I'm terrible at despite my real life being lived in first person. Thank you for the video. Doom 3 looks tempting even with my weakness in the genre.

[@ArcadeCreative]

I’m just happy to have the Borderlands series. Trying so hard to love it during the Vita years knowing it only needed a tiny bit of time thrown at it. So worth the wait!

[@EarhirX]

Gol Club Nostalgia looks like the kind of game that does a lot of environmental story telling. Yeah, I'm going to buy it

[@jmz2144]

It's a great game, really unique soundtrack

[@DanMawdsley]

Doom 2016 is an absolute essential play for any first person fan! The gameplay, the music the speed and pump you get for playing is absolutely amazing, going back to any other game feels sluggish and slow paced after experiencing this high octane shooter! Bearing in mind im playing alien isolation at the moment which has amazing immersion but obviously a lot slower paced

[@dabestspaceman]

I really liked void bastards a ton a real nice gameplay loop and a cool comic book art style it was really unique and I had a lot of fun with it. Seems like there’s more coming with the wild bastards announcement from a bit ago looking forward to it!

[@AG10631A]

Glen's humor on Mark being ecstatic about first person shooters during Christmas really made me chuckle.

[@yis8fire]

Bioshock and doom are great, and if you have steam you can pick all the half life games for cheap as dirt in the winter sale tomorrow

[@jonathanstone3915]

Man this one took me back to the day of playing duke nukem death match against my friend on the PC over the modem. Such good times. Once I got on the keyboard mouse controls I never looked back to consoles for FPS, but there are so many good ones on the switch I feel like I’m obligated to give one a go.

[@taglor]

Prodeus was an unexpected delight! Well, in a first person shoot things in the face kind of way 😆

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yeah for sure haha 😜

[@Chris.in.taiwan]

Am I the only one who would really love far cry 3 or 4 on the switch?

[@zhanjohn9899]

Metro is my favorite, I’m so glad even on switch they managed to build up that dark ambiance

[@USCSS_Nostromo]

I'd love to see a port of F.E.A.R on the switch - very good and original blend of horror and FPS. I recall decent jump scares and when you're holding a gun, led to a lot of wasted bullets in the moment 😩

[@Arranvin9]

That's a fantastic game, been replaying it on Xbox recently, would love to see it on Switch! 👍

[@rickyt9255]

Not my cup of tea type of game to play on switch, however keep watching to keep the series going. Thanks both of you, keep it up!

[@jordankoss6081]

I love Switch Up channel. Your videos are always helpful & fun. This has been one of the hardest years of my life & your videos are always a nice distraction.

[@ben2rex]

Golden Eye, the golden times of all-nighters on the N64, along with Mario Party, replacing the bottles with the cones ;)

[@EugeneCRS]

My favorite FPS on Switch is Crysis 2. I still remember completing it on PS3 with 15 fps drops. It looks and plays brilliant on Switch, Saber Interactive did a great job. I've finished it while commuting to work, so I'm certain that it's perfectly playable for such portable game console.

[@Creation33]

Lol best intro yet. I almost spit out my coffee! Personally been working through dusk and it is a lot harder than I expected.

[@williammitchell116]

So many games on my wishlist! Have the bioshock collection and I loved being able to go back and play these wonderful stories

[@Jerichos7]

I've LOVED being able to play the Bioshock and Borderlands trilogies on a handheld. It makes my inner child just so happy. I will say that Prodeous and Bright Memory looks pretty awesome. I'll have to pick those up.

[@StuieHunter]

Bioshock is my favourite game of all time. I strongly urge anybody who hasn't played it to give it a go. The story is brilliantly chilling, and setting is one of the most iconic in gaming. Damn it......I'm gunna play it again now!

[@richissac8916]

Just picked up Doom Eternal again. I’m not a big FPS person, but just the ability to play that game in handheld mode on a smaller display makes it more attractive and fun. The classic couch-controller-TV approach just isn’t fun for me, but FPS’s in handheld mode might be the genre I explore in ‘24. Another great vid, guys. Thanks for the solid picks!

[@Hrmn8]

Day 8 was worth the wait. Duke nukem was originally on ps1, i' ve still got the disk. Still amazing how well the Borderlands games run on switch in handheld mode. Cheers

[@greenpacman71]

the duke nukem impressions were spot on holy hell 😂

[@BerodranG]

A lot of those FPS games gave me a trip down memory lane. Good to see them on the Switch!

[@craggl0rd]

After Doom, Quake and Duke Nukem and you didn't immediately segueway into Ion Fury, I was about to kick up a fuss! Good job I carried on watching. Glad that game got some love. Great vid as usual gents 👍

[@dololi]

You guys are going to have so much fun with the rest of the borderlands franchise. Borderlands 2 was my favorite of the group. From todays games Ive been wanting to try Forgive Me Father and Boltgun for a while now, just waiting for a good sale

[@l0s_n4ch0s6]

I swear you guys are reading my mind at this point cause I was just on the look out for some new FPS games for my switch hahah Ah either way merry christmas to you guys!

[@shannonhaworth2561]

Never, ever thought I'd have Doom Eternal on a handheld! My favorite FPS ever! Love it!

This is a great list. So many games/series I grew up with are still relevant and kicking butt today.

[@RobertRoweMusic]

FPS games aren't usually my bag, but BioShock is a series I've always been fascinated with. It's great to still see people enjoying the Doom and Wolfenstein series' though, after all these years!

[@KoollKam]

Not a genre I dive into all the time, but I do have the bioshock collection and 007 on the N64 online scratches the nostalgia itch in me. I definitely like the creepiness of the first bioshock and the maybe the scale of infinte.

[@jemmadavies3226]

I played Golden Eye on the N64 with my best friend from school, we are still best mates (many years later) and still game whenever we get together.

[@EpicOfEpicnessShow]

The Borderlands series will always be my favorite shooter series! In switch just makes it better!

[@freestylesfpv]

I think the RPG/Rogue-like FPS are my favorite... great job highlighting these incredible games.

[@FredrikBaberg]

Goldeneye and Duke Nukem brings back memories! Haven't played many FPS games on Switch, but I'll probably try to get through Borderlands at some point, as I've already bought it...
