We need a JRPG Called "Hello word" Based on computer hardware and software. Your sucked into cyber space and have to fight off computer bugs and hackers.

[@lun_r]

​@@raypaulkidz1063There was a game kind-of like that. It had a visually weird style. I passed on it. Don't remember the name. I think it was a limited distro.

[@lun_r]

Thank you for the text. With so many games this will make it easier to sort out what I have and what I need to buy

[@djhenyo]

You mixed up which box art for Romancing SaGa 3 had the lower quality visuals in the editing of this video.

[@LesmondesduJV]

I can't even imagine the amount of work that was needed for this (real) ultimate video! Amazing job!

[@SwitchWatch]

Preparation is key!

[@BOOMERANG471]

Wow what a video!!! Thanks SwitchWatch for putting in the work to make these!!!

[@mysticizzm]

I love ambitious videos like this! Gotta get collecting some of these now. Wonder which ones are gonna skyrocket in value as time goes on.

[@ChrisRamlar]

Dude, I follow your channel mainly because of the imports. You are the import KING! Thanks for this and many more awesome videos.

[@gundambassexe31]

1:52:24 Melty Blood type lumina from type moon and persona 4 arena ultimax . Highly appreciated 👍👍

[@cardboardorigins]

Duuuuude ive been struggling to find good imports with english for months and this video randomly popped up ❤️

[@SwitchWatch]

I'm literally recording this year's edition. It has 100+ more games in it.

[@radio2rancid]

Im just never gonna stop buying switch games am i. Thankfully I have most of these and we have the Switchwatch team to thanks for that. You guys are awesome!

[@WMARUoriginal]

What an amazing round up Jordan!

[@avrilwilliams252]

👏👏👏Thanks for all your hard work making this video. Informative and entertaining 😄 This channel deserves 100k subs!

[@ericvtec-lb3mg]

Can't go wrong with Grandia collection ❤😂. Thank you for the 2hr jrpg reviews

[@DangerMoo]

As ever Jordan and the team at Switch watch a truely epic video. Going to watch it in a few stints this is the video we all needed. Keep up the good work ❤

[@chocolocojames213]

The artworks in Legend of Mana aged so well. Beautiful 😊😊😊

[@granallemo]

I'm about to travel to Japan and this guide is just perfect. Thank you Jordan for everything you do for the hobby, you're da best!! ♥

[@gundambassexe31]

1:49:49 just started the super robot wars T and 30. So far it's very addictive 😅😅

[@marcdmv]

Amazing compilation! I watched it all and added 3 games to my wishlist! Thanks!!

[@LocrianDorian]

Bro, niche as it may be, this is one of the best videos on KZbin, thank you for the massive effort to put this list together. I hope you will do another one once all is said and done in a few years. Some Japanese companies keep releasing niche games even towards the very end of the lifetime of consoles, so we might get to a 4 hour video by that point.

[@redlion145]

Solid video Jordan! I like watching these for many reasons, but I think the one that sticks out though is that you cover the old releases as well as the recent ones. I found some gems in this year's video, Railway Empire 2, touhou New World, and Metal Dogs among them. It's too bad about the hamsters being stuck in code-in-a-box purgatory.

[@tony_0088]

Great work! I almost feel ashamed of asking this after the amount of work you probably put in this list; but would you consider something like a top 10 or top 20 list of you most important imports? Keep up the awesome work!

[@punymagus]

Jordan is such a... cultured person. Respect, man xD

[@SwitchWatch]

✊

[@th3mmch]

Nice, thanks for this video. In this way i can see what i am missing and know the status of some titles.

[@JimBob-vg2og]

I ordered NeverAwake, No Place for Bravery, River City Girls 1+2, Blaster Master Trilogy & Bloodstained Curse of the Moon Chronicles. Came to £116 on Amazon Japan which I think is quite reasonable. Arriving Thursday as well, so quick 😊

[@Hero190909]

I had to take a second look.... Wasn't sure if this was A Bit More Jordan or SwitchWatch because of that run time. 23min in and I've made 2 purchases😅

[@gundambassexe31]

1:06:44 Kamen Rider ! Henshin! Love that so much

[@naomibrist3312]

This is an amazing list. Thank you so much for all the work that obviously went into this video. I greatly appreciate it 🙏

[@tjwolfe766]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but BOTW+Expansion had three separate releases. China, South Korea, and Japan. All different box arts as well.

[@alnsubuga]

Great video! Really appreciate the synopses. Valhalla is available in the UK e-shop if anyone isn’t able to get hold of the physical version, and I randomly found a European version of the Coffee Talk 1 + 2 single cartridge on Amazon UK in Dec.

[@Ser-Smiley]

T-two hours!? Welp. Good thing it's the weekend. 😅

[@Biggus__Dickus]

Hey Smiley

[@Ser-Smiley]

@@Biggus__Dickus hey hey! 🙋

[@Biggus__Dickus]

How's your backlog going. Mines grown exponentially and now I've buckled under the stress of it and don't feel like playing anything 😭

[@Ser-Smiley]

@@Biggus__Dickus Ah. I know the feeling. Im tackling my backlog as usual. Im currently about to finish Persona 5 Royale With Cheese. 😋 If you ever feel stressed about your backlog and dont feel like playing anything, you can do things like me. I would play something that i can finish in a short time. Usually roguelike games or monster hunter. Finish 2 or 3 runs in Hades or Deadcells or hunt 2 or 3 monsters in Monster Hunter. Doing this make me feel like i've accomplished something. 😄 Also, my ps4 is dead now. It's dead as a door nail.... super sad. 😭

[@Biggus__Dickus]

@@Ser-Smiley Forcing you to get a PS5 then, hopefully the funds will allow it. I just tip away at games. Currently playing Jedi 2, which is fun. Need to go back to Persona 5, that's a big one.

[@sephatu6521]

Holy. This is incredible stuff. Thank you so much for this

[@gundambassexe31]

1:14:08 samurai jack ! I remember that one 🕜🕜😎😎💗

[@RwnEsper]

Man, the timing on this is so hard for me! My birthday is in a couple of weels, and I do tend to spoil myself. That said though, I think I have to get Ryza 3 and Diofield Chronicle before I go for any more imports. I have a good few of these, this channel has been a lifesaver in terms of Switch physical RPGs for me. Thanks for putting this together Jordan! 👍

[@GamerFromJump]

59:27 - Yeah, people were thrown by Clementine being the protagonist, because she’s a villain that even the titular Overlord, an Elder Lich who crushes entire armies and nations with eldritch horrors, thought was a bit over the top in her villainy.

[@nozopoke1782]

The switch has so many games that it’s hard to keep up. Amazing list

[@gundambassexe31]

1:46:33 cardfight vanguard! By the same company who did future card buddyfight and the Kobayashi's dragon maid game

[@gundambassexe31]

Awesomeness! Kamen Rider, Grisaia and Atelier Marie remake . Good selection so far 😊😊

[@MrJimithee]

Ambassador, you are really spoiling us! I appreciate how long these big videos must take to assemble, dunno how you do it Jordan... Just send us a picture of you with todays newspaper, so we know you're alright (!)

[@-cassiel-]

Crazy video! Just some notes. Blade Arcus Rebellion from Shining, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax and Metal Dogs don't have english on cart. And Sanabi doesn't seem like it will have either.

[@fatpunenterprises]

Insane effort!! Thanks switchwatch !!

[@mooBaka]

Going to Japan later in the year. I need to know if English is in Asia or Japanese version (Or both). Sometimes it's mentioned in this video, but not for all games on the list

[@DankerTVTimeCapsule]

i guess you were tired at the 55:22 mark. You put Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 in the text editor twice.

[@SwitchWatch]

Yeah there’s a couple of mistakes. It happens with vids this long

[@BrianMills198686]

Could you have a "fan service" or "ecchi" category next time?

[@OneManAndHisDogGaming]

Great video Jordan!

[@zg-it]

It's funny how limited run only sells limited copies of unlimited amounts of whatever they can get their hands on

[@ryanstewart4444]

52:00 To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw, "Those that can't do, Teach"

[@johngavalas712]

Bullet Soul is so good and Batsugun will be mine tomorrow its also available on the United States eShop

[@luckydapirate]

ouch my wallet. i just added about 20 or so games to my buy list. why do you do this to me?? but seriously good freaking job to everyone involved, a project like this must take months of actual work to get done. i do have an idea though, a video series detailing exclusives in the U.S. and EU. i know there are alot of EU exclusive games that i have to import that are really good (waiting on my copy of Smelter CE from VGP) and i bet there are plenty of U.S. games that cant be found in the EU region. just a thought. still my favorite channel i love every video you guys put out.

[@SwitchWatch]

I actually did like 4 EU exclusive videos a couple of years back. Might be time to do Some more 😅

[@2piecesnackbox]

What's the name of the game at the 1:09 mark ?

[@solonepeon5805]

OMG😂😂😂. Damn idk if I'll be able to watch it all but I'll try to do it 👍.

[@fredsorre6605]

I actually enjoyed Mugen Souls and it's sequel Z on Steam a long while back and I honestly wish there was another sequel will be great to be able to play them again on the go with my switch once I can get my hands on them.

[@gundambassexe31]

16:44 dot hack gu ! Nostalgia and awesomeness

[@JeskidoYT]

53:10 that game is out on English, on PC with a weird title 55:24 58:21 1:11:21 wrong title for the game oops 1:00:24 this game got re-released as Spelunker HD Deluxe and available on PS4

[@SwitchWatch]

Oops! My fault for not checking over properly

[@JeskidoYT]

@@SwitchWatch its okay. i didnt know there were so many japan exclusive games! sounds even bigger than the North american library!

[@whiteiswong]

Smashing the Battle Ghost Soul physical has both game which is pretty nice

[@gundambassexe31]

1:49:08 temped to get sd Gundam cross rays ❤❤❤

[@EugeneKurlikin]

2 hours of perfection 😁

[@Ngamergal]

Great list Jorden

[@itsgood2slide]

Those Romancing Saga 3 boxarts are the wrong way round. Could confuse someone into buying the inferior version!

[@elialexander-tanner5784]

This so great. Thank you.

[@elasmojones]

Can only buy Seven Pirates H so many times...

[@SwitchWatch]

😂

[@meh_so_what8943]

battle cats is available on phones. my japanese coworker and I used to play this a lot

[@lordeowstheking]

Getting more into switch imports I appreciate this.

[@jenscee7679]

Good job I’m off on leave this week.

[@HighFiveGhost50]

Which version of Battle Princess Madelyn is considered the better version? I have the ‘Royal Edition’ digital but the physical is the other version. Haven’t played much of them. I had heard the non Royal version has a better story mode than the Royal?

[@SwitchWatch]

Royal Edition is considered to be the best version, or at least in line with the developers original intentions

[@gearsprimed141]

Any chance you can ever do all censored switch games and where you can get the full uncensored version on switch or other console. OR Which switch games are not complete on cart and what console has the same game complete on disc? OR do any code-in-a-box games have actual physical carts?

[@wowgek7]

I can answer your lat question at least yeah some do

[@Ti7Vk3y]

So hard to find this info... So there is a physical US version of FF7? Can't seem to find it.

[@SwitchWatch]

No, but Europe has one

[@tojim_]

No mention of Gnosia nor Famicom Detective Club 🤔

[@SwitchWatch]

Sadly no physical English version :(

[@johngavalas712]

City Connection finally decided to release Akai Katana Shin on the United States eShop i finally own it and Devil Engine is so damn good and hard as hell

what's that game at the very beginning, it's beautiful!

Legend of Mana iirc. See 10:35

[@mrp1234]

@@redlion145that's it indeed, thank you!

[@vita4-life852]

What music do you use in these videos? It’s very relaxing!

[@SwitchWatch]

I think I used about 2 dozen songs in this video. They are mostly random downloads from Epidemic sounds.

[@vita4-life852]

@@SwitchWatch sorry, it’s usually songs I hear on your weekly release videos if that helps.

Im early this time! Let's goooo! 😋

[@silviuamuza3902]

Great list, though I hate that these kind of channels are so biased on Nintendo content that you don't mention which game is also on PS4/PS5, and maybe has a better or more complete version.

[@SwitchWatch]

Well that's also a lot of extra work. But i'm planning on making a PS4/5 one on my other channel

[@silviuamuza3902]

@@SwitchWatch Great if you could. 😄

[@geraldpaz08211982]

You called Final Fantasy “perhaps the greatest JRPG series in history” but I disagree, that title goes to Dragon Quest.

What the a 2 hour video need extra data 😂😂

Let me correct one thing Strictly limited ALWAYS has the best version....if you're willing to wait.

That's incorrect. I would accept MOSTLY but not ALWAYS.
