Switch Hidden Gems

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Severed Steel looks really cool, and Record of the Lodoss War I keep hearing nothing but great things about. I need to check both of these out! Really cool seeing the varied picks here, some of which I never heard of! Great video man!

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Glad you found something new my friend 🙂

[@garlicblue6797]

Always great to watch TVGS. This channel always helps me get through the overnight and brings me back with nostalgia and also brings game never seen before. Wonder Labyrinth with Deedlit of ROLW is definitely a game worth playing. It’s amazing.⭐️

[@vodkaffee4856]

Phantasy star has its definitive edition on switch and on sale is lika a dollar. That game has some charm

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks for the tip!

[@vodkaffee4856]

@@thatvideogamesshow is the Sega ages version sold apart from any bundle. Is the only version with an in game map. Characters stats on screen at all times, an online manual and an offline explanation of every item and skill

[@wadejohnston4305]

This channel made me finally buy a switch lite and it's probably the best purchase I've made in years. Soooo many games in my pocket and while laying in bed😂. Witcher 3. Borderlands 3. Dragons Q11s. Astral chain. Sea of stars. Persona. And many many more. I've been mostly buying digital but im trying to build my cart collection up seeing as literally every old nintendo systems games thatvare out of print are worth soooo much more than their original retail.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Glad it’s helped out!

[@BillB808]

Kuso, Pinkman+, Neko Navy, Fight N Rage, Block Knockers, Rolling Gunner, are all solid gold and worth a look Switch fans.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks for the tip, I’ll check them out for part 2 🙂

[@streetmagik3105]

Fight N Rage and Rolling Gunner are excellent!

[@shawn284]

Thank you for sharing these, there are so many games, sometimes overwhelming. This video helps showcase some of the more obscure ones.

[@csikocska]

After seeing a few games I know like "Haiku the Robot", "Severed Steel" and "Record of Lodoss War", I recognised one indie fighting game which title's "Blade Stangers". Aww, I remember I bought that game on Steam Sale a few years ago, but I didn't have time to try out. After hearing a lot of good features of this game, I should try out when I can have freetime. I played Street Fighter, Killing Instinct and Tekken games long time ago and I could enjoy Blade Strangers too. 🙂

[@davidknight3826]

Haiku the Robot is straight to the wishlist. I've never seen it on MetroidVania lists for the switch

[@joeromero3890]

I always look forward to one of your videos coming out. It's nice to relax and see so many games I haven't heard of

[@DoorsInTheLabyrinth]

I'm a huge Lodoss War fan, so unsurprisingly I loved Wonder Labyrinth. I had a lot of fun with Fairy Fencer F too. I haven't played the sequel yet, but I'm not a huge fan of tactics RPGs. I think the last one I really liked was Arc The Lad, so it's been a while!

[@TomatePasFraiche]

Dude yes!! You will have so much material on the switch, I can’t wait

[@thatvideogamesshow]

More on the way 🙂

[@evilblader7]

Just what I need underrated games to my switch... Drainus looks so interesting, sounds like Darius series don't you think? xDDDD I'll check it out Drainus I'm a big fan shot em up games 😊😊😊

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@diegodias1998]

I did not know that Severed Steel ran that well on Switch, I've played it on Steam and absolutley fell in love with the game.

[@theultimategamer95]

Cheers for giving Gunvolt a shout, LOVE that series! Gunvolt 3 was one of my favourite games last year, actually :) Loved the art and characters in Trinity Trigger but sadly never finished it due to... putting it down for another game, coming back to it later and then getting lost in the desert map lol. Oh well.

[@joegt123]

Fairy fencer's combat system reminds me of Quest 64. In a good way. It was a fascinating way to handle turn based combat, and I miss it.

[@Nolasco.]

I was watching this some day ago and suddenly it stopped 😅 Great you got it back and thanks for the video 😊👍

[@gukstan11]

Lmao no intro no vaseline, just pure content. Nice

[@esteban026]

Great Compilation. I must add. If you don't own a Switch, all of these games are for PC too

[@ShinSHOGO]

Surprised you went with Wonder Labyrinth as opposed to Team Ladybug’s other Metroidvania - Touhou Luna Nights. It’s very similar in visual style and gameplay, but ultimately feels a lot more well put together, more fair in the difficulty, and has a very even pace overall. Plus it’s wonderful soundtrack that always is a delight to hear, both in the main areas, as well as the boss fights. ❤

[@knightsabre2k]

I would actually argue that Wonder Labyrinth had smoother progression and a much better difficulty curve, tho Luna Nights had more flexible abilities to play around with. Overall though, I prefer Wonder Labyrinth, mostly because it didn't add a completely BS final boss like they did with Reimu in Luna Nights... damn that boss annoyed the hell out of me

[@Tasuke]

Trinity Trigger looked pretty fun! Might have to give it a try.

[@packers12to80]

I love trinity trigger. It's alot of fun

[@ereviscale3966]

Spicy Intro this time!!

[@newageBoundhippie]

definitely enjoyed Deedlit when I tried it on game pass ( though the difficulty was a tad high for me & I had to give up on it ), and I have Jack Move on my Xbox wishlist. That Haiku the Robot looks pretty cool too... maybe a future part could include some personal favorites of mine...The Stretchers, Good Job, Part Time UFO and Boxboy + Boxgirl. I never see anyone talk about those gems!

[@lucykaede5863]

Last game's graphics strongly reminds me of the PS Vita for some reason. Gives me Trails of Cold Steel vibes.

[@LightMageMike]

I see Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, I like. Simple as that.

[@waynetttttt]

I've seen this list in a few other KZbinrs hidden gems.. did you play any of these games yourself.. just a question.

[@itshammertime5036]

It know it strays from your usual content, but could you do a Steam Deck Hidden Gems Compilation? I keep looking for great Games that are a Blast on the Steam Deck that arent the usual well known ones :)

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks for the idea! But I'll have to get a Steam Deck first!

Thank you for this awesome video 🎮🤩

My pleasure!

[@TiroDvD]

What stinks is that I would enjoy Metroivanias more if they were selectable stages rather than one continuous map. I.e. like Mega Man X or Demon's Crest. I like platforming, fighting stuff, bosses, and new powers. I don't like tapping and hugging every wall for a "secret."

[@chiarosuburekeni9325]

To each his own. The giant cohesive map and secrets hidden in walls are two of the major reasons why it’s my favorite genre of game

[@kodelagi-daniel]

is that even count as metroidvania anymore?

[@Simoss13]

Played Kaze and found the difficulty at the end of the 4th world to the 5th world too much and shelved it. But enjoyed the game and appreciate the PS1 pixel art style. Couple of games I thought that was 'hidden' were Dragon Quest Treasures, Astral Chain and Oninaki

[@BigFootSize]

In Trinity Trigger stamina restores as you dodge properly timed

[@chrisdiokno5600]

Keep up the good vids dude

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks Chris, more on the way 🙂

[@knightsabre2k]

I never got into luminous Avenger because of a fairly shallow reason, I absolutely loathe Copen as a character. When they introduced him in gunvolt 2, I could actually feel all the fun in the game get sucked out by his mere presence so the idea of having to play a whole game as him was about as appealing to me as jumping bare foot onto some lego pieces. Luckily, Inti Creates gave us Gunvolt 3 and that was absolutely wonderful and incredibly brave since they ditched the titular character and completely revamped the gameplay mechanics. Best thing tho? No Copen!!

[@treuzebits]

amazing list!

[@protodad6151]

Kamiko although short is really good.

[@burrger2007]

If you've enjoyed castlevania SOTN then you'll love Wonder labyrinth ❤

[@SorcererLance]

I guess a teensy-tiny little nitpick... Kaze is pronounced Kaz-eh, as it's Japanese for "wind", which is fitting for the game's theme

[@CuCuz305]

Funny how all of them look retro.

[@mysticizzm]

Was there something wrong with the first upload?

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Mistake in the first upload so had to adjust it. Apologies!

Kaze was a great looking game, but it is WAY too hard... some levels are near on impossible. Shame as could had been good.

[@seanr.6596]

Git gud

[@floatsyourgoats6200]

There's an easy mode that adds extra checkpoints and I think one more HP. Though that does kind of make trying to get 100% in the autorun levels more frustrating at times.

No said it was exclusive. We get it, You hate the switch.

[@PikaLink91]

I always appreciate obscure fighting games with a cast of obscure characters. Now, Blade Stranger's characters are not obscure per see, like Shovel Knight, Quote, and Curly Brace, but they are also not characters you'd immediately think of for a fighting game, nor characters you would normally SEE in a fighting game. Quote was a cool inclusion, but the selling point for me was no doubt Umihara Kawase from the fishing pole platform series of the same name. I love those games and how they give you Tetris syndrome with their sometimes infuriating platform challenges. As for other obscure fighting games, did you know that the anime character Shana from "Shakugan no Shana" appeared in the Japanese only PS3 game Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax?

[@1fightdragons]

I think you could squeeze another 'obscure' in there.

[@deiradinn]

So, why don't you cover Xbox at all?
