Nothing here for me despite the variety but thats ok, my wallet is empty and backlog is overflowing 😅. No more game purchases until the Switch 2 has been out for a good 6 months lol. Cheers SwitchUp!

[@SiobhanR28]

My budget says no but my impulses say yes 😂😂

[@patogordo1385]

Buy everything don’t overthink. You will always figure it out how to earn money. To play a game paying for it with a lot of money instead of playing it for free on your computer downloading it is the way to go. You need to do the best you can to help Nintendo get the money and pay the developers

[@unLoaded_Games]

Dude. This has become a lifestyle.

[@t.fernbach602]

After 100%-ing Astrobot, Boti honestly looks really appealing.

[@kennethzeranski2833]

Blade Chimera is definitely my type of game. The concept of StarLair seems amazing, but I really want to see how it turns out in practice. Hopefully they'll have some planets already built, and the world building tools will increase with exploration and experience.

[@SwitchUpYt]

@@kennethzeranski2833 yeah it looks really excellent. Mark

[@Mr.Vetkoek]

I feel like the movement in Blade Chimera looks a bit odd but other than that it looks pretty dope.

[@derekgonsoulin116]

Deedlit does look smoother than this, but there seem to be more mechanics involved here. They may want the main character to feel weightier vs a fantasy elf.

[@jesssealey6552]

I think a DK game as a full 3D adventure like Mario Odessey would be a pretty fun time

[@MrNaldop]

Do you have any plan to review freedom wars?

[@berentlabrecque4641]

I was wondering this too!

[@TheL1arL1ar]

Is that the vita game….i still have it, i hated it overall….beat it and put it away. But someone else might like it.

[@QuestionThings123]

What??? I didn't know this ever had any plans of moving past the Vita! I've been griping about wishing it would be brought to the switch since the switch released! Is there a physical release? Besides all the Vanillaware games this was my favorite Vita game, so underrated and unique for being a Hunter-style game. I'm absolutely picking this up

[@Reddotzebra]

Starlair sounds very interesting, basically like Mario Maker but with Metroid levels. I might pick it up come pay day.

[@Mr.Vetkoek]

Uh Starlair and Picomix could both have a lot of potential. I put them on the wishlist but I will need more Information before buying.

[@ozloner8777]

I've been hyped for Blade Chimera since it was announced and I'm eagerly anticipating a Japanese/Southeast Asian physical release for later this year.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yeah it looks great. Mark

[@chujiwu68]

@@SwitchUpYt It'd be nice if you guys reviewed Blade Chimera. I love Ladybug's pixel art style.

[@SwitchUpYt]

@ we’d like to

[@TruckDumpy]

Happy to see Blade Chimera is coming out. Been looking forward to that one.

[@jemmadavies3226]

Great week for new games!!! I’m sad I’ve finished Astrobot so may pick this up

[@Vendidurt]

Picomix looks alright, but i want UFO 50

[@ZamWeazle]

You and me both

[@Crushing511s]

Starlair looks cool if they can build a good community around it. I've seen games with a similar premise struggle due to lack of a player base, Meet Your Maker being the first that sprang to mind.

[@ppbunt]

My New Year’s resolution is shrinking the mighty backlog, so the wallet is staying closed!

[@paulblyth9793]

Can’t be dealing with the Nintendo premium price for Donkey Kong. Not when I’ve been enjoying the likes of Broken Sword Reforged for half the price

[@Multipurpose_Bagel]

PicoMix reminds me of last year's UFO 50!

[@ZamWeazle]

You mean one of the most anticipated Switch ports?

[@MFBBSubEsp]

The concept of Starlair sounds very interesting indeed, not just have a hge ammount of planets to explore but also be able to create them and share with the world, i really wonder how well this will play

[@unLoaded_Games]

Cyberpunk, metroidvania, beautiful pixel art. These three things belong together. Yes its now in the wishlist thank you Glen

[@bastien-]

Been anticipating Blade Chimera for a while. Sci-fi SotN? Sign me up.

[@devonbewley7753]

Starlair looks really interesting. I wonder if the space part is any good or if it's more about the planets you land on.

[@Pickled_squirrel]

Tales of graces sounds like when u get so drunk and your friends tell you what you stupid things you did the previous night

[@Nedwig747]

Just make sure somewhere along the way you decide to name a girl tiger festival

[@alienanxiety]

Is Folk Hero not available in North America?

[@uwekliem8695]

Hey, i was looking for it in the Swiss / German shop, can't find it. Is it already out?

[@ThroneRoomGaming]

Thanks for the great content as always! I'll be keeping my eye on Dread Out. I've spent enough and will be working on my backlog before any more big purchases. I have some I'd really like to get finished before the Successor arrives. All hail the Switch Successor.

[@gilpauloabracia]

Really getting tempted with Blade Chimera since seeing the trailer a year or so. I would really like to know the average time to clear it and as completionist. A review would be awesome!

[@etgripper]

Thanks, I'm going to look into Boti, but my January list is basically DKC and Guilty Gear. Also thanks for mentioning your Lego channel, I had no clue!

[@IDigGaming]

I'm surprised you didn't mention Freedom Wars Remastered 😅 great video though! 😁

[@shoked99]

Looking forward to Tales of Graces F. Thanks for the video.

[@jordanwalker2804]

Blade Chimera and Folk Hero look punt-worthy... When i got my Switch, I didn't expect metroidvania and roguelite to be in my catalogue. Now, they are practically as played as RPG and FIFA (i know, I should just a PS5 or something 😂)

[@pikachubread]

thanks for the video! graces f looks like something i would want to try

[@andrewfsheffield]

Somebody trying to sell Pico8 games is quite a choice. Isn't everything created and published for Pico8 free by default?

[@Leopez02]

Boti Byteland overclicked, YS Memorie the Oath in Felghana and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD defienitily Boti a colorful robot platformer that gives a small Astro Bot vibes, but not much and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD my first Donkey Kong game I've ever played in my childhood on Wii and now it's on Wii, 3DS and Switch all of them 3th time WOW! 😮❤

[@silla42]

The only one this week that interests me is Boti. Maybe I'll get Tales of Graces one day on a sale, but for now I still want to finish Tales of Vesperia first.

[@Bakuuren]

I haven't played a Tales game since Tales of the Abyss came out on 3DS. Graces F seems like it might be fun, though. Mostly just saving my money for later releases.

[@Reddotzebra]

Tales of the Abyss was so good! Now you made me remember that I lost my copy halfway through the game... Kind of want to buy a new cartridge to finish it now.

[@disalazarg]

BTW, both Tales of Vesperia and Tales of Symphonia are already on Switch and are considered among the best in the series. Not to mention cheaper :P

[@MrJimithee]

I can't see myself paying £50 for DKC Returns, given that I already own it on Wii... Shame, coz it's a brilliant game... A COLLECTION, with the NES, Gameboy, SNES, N64, Wii and Wii U versions? Sign me UP!

[@veganforever9703]

It will drop I'm sure

[@nicked_fenyx]

Folk Hero and StarLair look really interesting. I hadn't heard of those before, so will have to look into them. Thanks for the heads up.

[@Lucretia019]

Oh yeah, I’m an absolute sucker for Metroidvania games, and Blade Chimera is definitely calling my name! Adding this one to my wishlist for sure. Thanks, lads! 🍻🤘🏼

[@rikux27]

Have been looking forward to finally playing a new Tales game!

[@MsKornkitty]

$60 for a rerelease of a remake? (Donkey Kong) Are they mad?

[@1saacbcourt452]

The game that looks like astrobot seems to be very fun🎉❤

[@BradleyBartlett-s5x]

I am interested in Tales of Grace's F as I used to watch the original trailer back in the day, hoping it would come out in the west! Now I can get the chance to add it to the backlog!

[@charlieg6913]

With every old game under the sun getting a re-make/revamp/re-release, I wish so much that someone would make Eternal Sonata available on a current console, preferably the Switch so I could take it on the go. 😭

[@gagalover2k10]

@SwitchUp will you guys be reviewing Blade Chimera when it releases?

[@arthurwulfrun]

Dreadout is pretty good. Very reminiscent of Project Zero/Fatal Frame and Silent Hill. But set in Indonesia, I loved ghe setting. Awesome stuff! I have them on steam, fun games. I want to DK Country Returns! Just gotta wait until February I think, thanks for the video guys!

[@edmundosantos2421]

Name of the 2Dmetroid like game in the end of the video?

[@noisetv1863]

Interesting to see a Pico-8 collection on the Switch

[@kevinphelps5807]

After the last tales release I’ll be looking forward to hearing how it runs on switch

[@thepoppies2634]

I ordered Tales of Graces f on Series X as I think there might be performance issues on the Switch. I did buy Ys Memoire on the Switch, though. Didn't get round to trying it out today. I'm more hopeful for time on Sunday.

[@austinsheehan3994]

I wasn't interested in Boti as a 3D platformer because Splatoon 3 exists, but that DLC makes it more than just a 3D platformer, so I may Prague it.

[@TonyLaranjo]

Boti looks quite intriguing. I’ll have to check out some of its reviews on Switch

[@stormbringer4998]

And now the main question. Will the games bought online be available on the new switch? Last two games I bought were physical..

[@docc19]

I think they already confirmed full backward compatibility. Personally a grave mistake if it doesnt have it IMO

[@knightdriver3592]

Picomix is relevant to my interests.

[@Ray__E]

I've started working on my backlog. It's gotten out of control. I'll just wishlist the games that look interesting to me.

[@kingtrio21-84]

I could be just me but this video was really clear and good looking and I'm going to need a switch really soon I see some goodies in this one cheers mate's

[@123fakestreet3]

Blade Cimera looks so interesting and im grabbing Tales of Graces F

[@Sparkypark]

I’ll wait for your review (please) of Dreadout.

[@DrScotty85]

Folk hero looks interesting, depending on the level of meta-progression it has. Review please guys? Also, DK country returns at full price seems ridiculous to me!

[@grahamwalker2168]

Ah blade chimaera is finally coming out. This looks great ❤

[@Megorium]

Hey friends!! I hope yall get a switch 2 early so we can see a review of the new console from the greatest switch guys on KZbin!

[@springer1786]

They were lucky in Blade Chimera, it would have been much less effective if the demon could shapeshift into a stapler...

[@Murasakitsuyukusa]

Can't wait to sink another 100+ hours into Tales of Graces, this time on my Switch.

[@Ser-Smiley]

Tales Of Graces f babyyyy! Lets go! 😋

[@andrewhenry9013]

Can’t wait for Blade Chimera

[@eMceeMao]

Starlair looks quite interesting

[@grahamwalker2168]

Did picomox see UFO 50 and bash a game out in 6 months???

[@ZamWeazle]

Something like that. Hurry up Derek and take my money for the Switch port already.

[@grahamwalker2168]

@ZamWeazle 💯

[@paulhovey5094]

A few interesting ones, but I am eyeing Prince of Persia Lost Crown at 50% off right now.

[@uvin2730]

Every time I think Switch is drying up we get even more potential gems

[@jguerrero7033]

I’m waiting for Yobarai Detective Miasma Breaker and Warside to show up in the eShop

[@Mr.Warbot]

Tales of graces F was out on ps3 as well.

[@withoutthejuice7193]

It’s been a good run SwitchUp, but I finally got my first gaming PC and really don’t see myself using the Switch anymore, as it was purely my indie game console. Still waiting eagerly for the Switch 2, but I think it’s finally time I put the Switch to bed 😢😂

[@solonepeon5805]

I'll be getting DKCR & DO collection. The Grace idk yet, but probably not going to get it. I'll have to see if the story is better than the GameCube Tales game.

[@mariovj1764]

Donkey Kong return will be amazing

[@Zephyr_Weiss]

There's the Astrobot at home 🤣

[@thomasbalzer3179]

I think my wife is going to finally discover how many games I have accumulated soon.

[@GundamExiaDarkMatter]

I recommend Freedom Wars remastered.

[@eleonoreconstant]

Looking forward to the donkey Kong review!!

[@Grubkiller35]

Whoa, an early video today! 🎉❤

[@juniperwool]

This will be a year of trying to spend less, so I will be passing for now, but maybe I'll save up for a game for my bday. 😅 Xenoblade X will be out about that time! haha

[@decayedparadigm]

Eh Starlair looks pretty cool like a Metroidvania build your own lvl type craz but idk i may just purchase SMT5V steel book doe $40.. beat the base game. Expansion looks cool

[@FletchMo7]

Some decent releases still coming on the switch! Back log too big and just ready for switch 2

[@marktew5805]

Tales of Graces on Wii in Uk and PS3 guys

[@PhatBoyzClub]

xenoblade is the last switch 1 game ill buy , id like to move on to native switch 2 ports especially if they bring starfield im almost at 1k hours. I bought the switch 1 cuz of Skyrim had more fun on the switch than my full gaming PC, steam deck, ayaeo, gpd win. The switch is just so light and games are natively ported. Excited. for it.

[@ty_sylicus]

Oh cool. Another classic Tales game brought overseas.

[@Sini_s_picious]

DK returns on my birthday 👌 I won't be able to try it unfortunately but y'all need to thank me😆

[@travicy]

I'm findinout

[@Ratboyslim]

Wallet survives another week 🙏🏻

[@eleonoreconstant]

is they were all free i'd pick most of them so i wont pick any this week but maybe later as some of them look really fun! :)

[@leemorse7851]

Blade Chimera looks interesting. And I will be buying Donkey Kong.

[@ZamWeazle]

Oh dear. Feeding Nintendos deep pockets

[@Nedwig747]

Its not the best tales game Glen but my goodness its a good one. Each game is its own destinct story kind of like most final fantasies but its worth a gander and a pretty good spot tonstart the series

[@mrpmp5384]

Donkey Kong. Love these games.

[@Legofromthelowerlands020]

Tales games are always so much fun!!!!

[@r_apt_ure]

I can't afford new games, I will be using my time to check off some of my seemingly never ending backlog. 😅

[@generalbochii]

As a long running tales fan i have played all of the modern tales of games and Graces f was my least favorite. The battle system in my opinion is what holds it back, the flow of battle is super slow in some occasions and unforgiving in the early game. Fortunately the story and cast are strong so its like a 6/10 for me.

[@Grubkiller35]

You guys are killing me

[@Osman_jiel]

03:30 waiting for this one

[@Zeyad-uz7tq]

When it will be in store?

[@Osman_jiel]

@Zeyad-uz7tq Jan 16 I think, it's already in the store available for pre purchase

[@basajul]

Thank you for the video

[@hellnestor172]

I will share something about Hogwarts Legacy and this is a spoiler of a mechanic, Alohomora doesn't work like in any other game, casting the spell brings a LOCKPICKING screen, yeah, the spell let's the player LOCKPICK the lock😮

[@Words_of_discouragement]

Afternoon gents

[@asilver50]

Ths switch is really struggling to run Dreadout.

[@Joehamer8]

Lovely stuff
