[@thorneneil2553]

Hey guys, thank you for yet another quality video. Happy new year.

I keep thinking how do you put up 12 days of Switch up with all the tiredness by the year and, as fathers (both of you I suppose?) and with all the partying! But I think yours is a party similar as mine: taking care of kid (and wife😂) and hope to confront the back (front... Sides...) Log in between 😂

[@SiobhanR28]

Dredge and Dave the Diver are UNREAL. Just shows how good indie games now are. I'd take those games over certain AAA games all day. 🎉🎉

[@MTG69]

I picked up a physical version of Dredge, and now I can't stop playing it.

It’s been an epic year with some awesome games looking forward to tuning in with you guys for another year of reviews and sales !

The real fun, for me, with Tears Of The Kingdom is building crazy vehicles... I followed an online guide to build a flying scorpion lazer death machine and it's awesome! Best Lego game yet!

[@jaydig2]

I finally picked up tears of the kingdom and I'm very happy with it so far. The new features are pretty fun already

Dave the diver is top notch. Brilliant unwinding game.

Thank you for the excellent work this year guys - amazing how you keep us all posted on the world of Switch. I have just picked up the Persona 3/4 sale bargain (Less than £20 for the two, yes less than an Aryton for each one) and yes I used switchup to buy my credits. Great stuff, Happy New Year and hope you are both having a decent knees up tonight.

wow great pick, I got on october sale persona 5 and 4, just missing p3p, i will get it next year for sure :D

it was on sale on black friday, i think right now is on sale 30$ for it, the game is awesome, i cant put it down, its a lot easier tho, but in harder difficulty settings its a nightmare, so is good, after i finish this one i have to get back to p4, because i got bad ending back when i played on ps2 haha@@DS-cf1zc

I'm having so much fun watching these videos. I love all your individual series but vids are so cool when you're both together. Surprised not to see it here, but Dredge was my favorite game of 2023 and I only came across it thanks to one of your videos.

[@LordTenebrum]

Awesome vid! Thanks for the BEST of the BEST of 2023!!

[@TheyCallMeAamir]

I stumbled upon your channel a few weeks ago and am loving every video you guys have been putting up! Thanks for showcasing some real gems! I got a Switch earlier this year and have been hooked onto it as I've not been able to play much on my PS5 (my TV is basically a cartoon machine 95% of the time now, thanks to my toddler lol)

[@SwitchUpYt]

Welcome aboard!

[@daniellebackus819]

Not to say you shouldn’t play your switch, but if you have an iPad, you can play your PS5 using remote play.

[@Coley666]

Happy New Year guys! Thanks for all the videos this year, especially the run upto Christmas they've been great!

[@neilmcdermid8799]

Fantastic video to end 2023. Thank you, SwitchUp, and Happy New Year!

[@vhalrougelarfouxe]

Dredge and Dave the Diver should be the indie game of the year. There's so much fun in those games that it's basically a must have in any consoles.

[@dontobby89]

Dave the diver isn't an indy game

[@vhalrougelarfouxe]

@@dontobby89 wait, I checked it again and its someone under NEXON?!

[@brotbrotsen1100]

I looked a bit into dredge but can't really figure out what it is.

[@withoutthejuice7193]

@@vhalrougelarfouxeyea there’s been quite a bit of controversy surrounding Dave the diver and the definition of an indie game. It’s still a fantastic product tho, and it not being fully indie shouldn’t take away from the hard work of the developers.

[@creepyp9457]

All the best boys. I’m currently starting Wartile…proper blast from the past. The first digital game I bought for my switch. I’m gonna try and finish it properly this time.

[@shoked99]

Thanks again for highlighting these games. Happy New Year.

[@Caffrey90]

Mark opening like a poet. "Lambert, Lambert..." If you know, you know 😂 What an amazing games we had this year. I honestly didn't expect this Switch year to be as good as it was. *Happy New Year* 🎆

[@WovenBrute]

F-99 was such a pleasant surprise! What an incredibly fun twist, without taking any of the original flair away!

[@USCSS_Nostromo]

Wargroove 2 for me was a very very good build on the first game and with so much content. Loved the rogue like mode too but overall, an incredible year. Outlook for 2024 is looking a bit light however there's so much mystery surrounding the next console it's almost like something is on the horizon, but out of reach at the same time. Looking forward to see what this year brings. Oh, and Happy New Year to all!!

[@BunchaNothin]

It really shows you how great 2023 was for the switch as I keep learning about more incredible games I'd never heard of before. I didn't know about Wargroove 2! I keep thinking 2023 was the "final" exceptional year of the switch, but I honestly don't know about everything that's coming out this new year. The next console feels around the corner, but I'm excited about all the surprises waiting for us in 2024. Happy new year everyone! 🎉

[@Reelzy]

Beautiful recap to end the year , Happy New Year to everyone and especially to the switchUp team 🎉🎉.

[@chickenfortress7956]

Thanks for putting this list together guys. I will be coming back to this list latter for sure!!!

What a year of switch gaming! The one game i very much need to pick up is Star Ocean second story - it's featured so much in your vids and looks great (another game i played first time round on psx - i feel old!)

Happy new year guys! Can't wait for the content in 2024! 🎉🎉🎉 Obviously some absolute bangers in this list, got a few of the games mentioned but definitely going to grab vampire survivors looks pretty similar to Brotato and I love that game!

[@DrScotty85]

Happy new year guys! You mentioned the switch successor- I’m not ready for it, my backlog is too large!

[@davidkpayne]

Although not on the list, I see people talk about it in the comments and it’s a big +1 for Dredge. What a game! The mixture of cosy but tense is beautiful. No loading times, lovely style and scenery and I love the RPG levelling system. Making your boat faster and faster is so rewarding and gives you confidence to go slightly further out each time, whilst still being terrifying! Brilliant game and one I can’t put down.

[@TheAppifier]

Thanks for this, and an excellent year of content. Happy New Year lads!

[@Swankenheim]

[@HOTHEADstudios]

Again, it's been an AMAZING year for Switch. Dredge was something I didn't think I'd enjoy as much as I have. I put in a TON of hours already and even picked up the DLC over the weekend. Bomb Rush is another game I've enjoyed but I'm just finding out it has a physical so I'll pick that up next payday. My backlog is crazy stupid right now but at least I won't be bored during some downtime. Happy New Year gents and looking forward to another successful year of gaming.

I'm definitely interested in several of the others too, except I haven't finished their predecessors yet!

[@schmingles]

Yeah between Eastward and Sea of Stars you really can’t go wrong. Two of the top ten games I completed this yr. To my shame I’ve not even started TotK, but I wanted to wait until I’m able to give it the time it demands/deserves. I put over 300 hrs into BotW and given what I’ve seen TotK will likely be higher.

[@minjod]

I spent around 100hrs on Persona 3 on original PSP. Such a gem

[@TheFrankm3]

Great list. It’s been a great year on the switch, which says a lot given its lifespan. HNY to you.

I’m finally playing triangle strategy and I got Star Ocean on sale so I’m excited to dive into that.

[@CookieRaider1325]

I recently played Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and I think it’s a very good game. It has the hifi rush vibes and the gameplay, visuals, and soundtrack are amazing. It reminds me of Jet Set Radio, one of my favorite games of all time. And guys, If you haven’t played it yet, I highly recommend it. You won’t regret it. Keep up the good work and stay funky!

I really need to try Dave the diver. Looks great. My switch goty is definitely octopath 2. I loved it
