[@Wynters387]

Been playing tactics ogre

[@PhantasmThe]

Just finished Sonic Mania and now I'm playing Diablo 3, never played a diablo game before but so far so good

[@ryarock2]

Star Wars Hunters took over my week. Really unexpected. Looking forward to SMTV:V this Friday.

[@alienanxiety]

Currently addicted to the Etrian Odyssey HD trilogy and Logiart Grimoire.

[@Kurizu204]

Twilight Survivors. Cute and addictive

[@jesssealey6552]

Need an addictive game, i miss that feeling where, when you're not playing, you're thinking about it, strategies, stats, weapons or just excited to get back to it 😢. Cheers SwitchUp!

[@jesssealey6552]

The last time this happened was Kingdom Hearts 3 on PS4 as I chased my first ever platinum trophy but that was 2019...

[@Xxlibra1018xX]

Warframe is a hard game to get into the good meat of, just due to the sheer amount of time it takes to get through a lot of the early game and really get a feel for, but it does have that effect once there. Also free to play with a unique twist, the only f2p I really ever enjoyed. It's also 99.99% PvE which I much prefer the co-op aspect of. Builds/strategies galore. If fast-paced games aren't your thing tho I'd steer clear of it, it gets very fast-paced once you get into the meat of it...which will provide take a minimum 50hrs to do. It's kind of a diablo 3 meets borderlands meets destiny mashup. Constant huge updates expanding it as well

[@anthonyjenkins2001]

Are there bots for offline play? ​@Xxlibra1018xX

[@jesssealey6552]

@@Xxlibra1018xX oh wow I had scrolled passed Warframe but from your description I think I'll jump in! Thank you for the recommendation 👍!

[@Xxlibra1018xX]

@@anthonyjenkins2001 it's an online mmo game, but it is PvE (player vs environment) so the enemies are AI. It is very mob heavy, so you're killing hundreds of enemies at a time once you get good at it. Some tough boss fights too, and most of the game modes are infinite so enemies just keep spawning in through the levels and they're enemy levels will just keep going up as long as you can stand it before bailing out basically. Most everything in the game can be acquired by just farming and not paying real money for it too. Sorry for the rant lol I haven't played it in a while honestly but I've put thousands of hours into it so I'm fairly familiar with it still

[@astrona77]

What I love most about SwitchUp is not only the great reviews and showcases, but your voices. I've grown very accustomed to the way you guys sound. Always a great way to grab a cup of coffee, relax, and watch your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@SwitchUpYt]

Thanks man that's kind of you to say! Mark

[@melaniapina6368]

I totally agree with this, there is a very good use of the voice here, it deserves some praise!

[@Jedbullet29]

Yep, my commute home is made with these guys voices.. Just..m calms me after a stressful day in London

[@lupo5529]

Star Wars Hunters was a big surprise, I started playing it on Sunday and I'm loving it despite not being a big fan of multiplayer games. Great video SwitchUp, hugs from Brazil.

[@AdmiralBeethoven]

That ''see yaaa'' was just gold - Mark was probably relieved he reached the end of the editing process, haha!

[@peteb9912]

I already have a backlogged backlog and it keeps backlogging, thanks to you guys! Keep up the good work! 😊

I am still playing TOTK every day, and there is always another new quest to complete! Frigging Gannordorf, I am coming!

[@Xxlibra1018xX]

​@@SwitchUpYtI think I could build a small doghouse with my backlog...kinda literally by stacks of physical games + microSDs 😂

[@Skruffee]

I’d say Paper Mario, and No Man’s Sky look the most interesting. Added them to my wish list to grab once my backlog clears out a bit. Currently playing Tunic and Deaths Door.

[@Brianybug]

I keep playing (badly) Rogue Legacy 2 again and again. This video was exactly what i was looking for. Adding some stuff to my wishlist!

[@tlaranjo]

Still completing my Tomb Raider I-III Remastered play through. I think my next purchases will be Sea of Stars or possibly TTYD depending on what’s announced at the next Nintendo direct to add to my backlog.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Oloh nice it's on sale right now. Mark

[@tlaranjo]

@@SwitchUpYt yah I have about 9 days yet to grab something during sale or get a shadow drop at a potential direct

[@DonkThikkness]

I was addicted to Lorelei and the Laser Eyes from start to finish. Great story with a mystery to unfold. Surreal presentation. Challenging logic based puzzles.

[@CookieRaider1325]

I cannot fathom how much SwitchUP has helped me throughout the years. Every time I think of a game that fits my needs, I simply go to this channel and end up buying exactly what I wanted. This channel is straightforward and will tell you if there are issues with the game, if it's a steal, or if it needs to be played. This is arguably the best channel for any Nintendo Switch content. Not only do Mark and Glen provide us with quality, top-notch content, but they also continue to engage with their community. Long live SwitchUP, and may there be more content to come for us! 💗

[@castoffcrown]

💯

[@RobertRoweMusic]

Been afraid to start Animal Well yet because of Splatoon 3 splatfests and events. Splatoon 3 was a game I didn't think I'd like, but can't quit playing it!

[@the-engneer]

I am soooo tempted too get No Man's Sky, but I already spent my money on Outer World's, and my back log is getting full lol

[@anthonyjenkins2001]

Outer Worlds is awesome. Can't wait for part 2

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yep I loved Outer Worlds I really hope Switch 2 can handle all these sequels. Mark

[@the-engneer]

I didn't even know they're making a part 2! Awesome!!!!

[@kingbutter42]

Great video as usual always can find some new games from you guys

[@sarahgobrecht1197]

Still playing my switch! Thanks for the heads up on new games to play…. I appreciate you. 😊

[@SwitchUpYt]

Thanks mate! Mark

[@Nathd1367]

There was a time when I was playing Mario Tennis Aces daily, clocking over 100 hours in the end 😯 The game is so mechanically sound, and when you'd find another player of a similar skill level online, the matches were action-packed, end to end, and a lot of fun. Very addictive 🙂

[@PikaDikaChu]

I am currently playing Dave The Diver and I absolutely love it, One of my favourite games I have played this year along with HI FI Rush.

[@SwitchUpYt]

YEah nice and they keep adding to that one as well which is awesome! Mark

[@bedrockcoffeegaming1548]

All of these games look like a lot of fun, but recently Monster Hunter is what me and my siblings have been playing almost non-stop. I have even been able to take on a Valstrax at hunter rank 5 thanks to their help. 100% Would recommend the game, it is amazing.

[@SwitchUpYt]

A fine choice that, quality game! Mark

[@alienanxiety]

The Lands Beneath Us is very addicting. And I appreciate the meta-progression.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yes it's excellently balanced in that regard. Mark

[@NicholasHutchings]

i never knew i needed a rogue-like mountain climbing game in my life until now. How has this never been a thing.... Take my money, please !!!

[@hansmarcelo5876]

I relate with the struggle of pronouncing Xuan Yuan Sword 7 lmao! I pronounce it like "Shoo-an Yoo-an" 🤣 Anyways, this is definitely the one I'm most excited for. As an action RPG fan, I've heard about this before but now that it's releasing on Switch, I'm going for it.

[@melaniapina6368]

No man’s sky has been on my wishlist for a long time 😊 but for now I have to put value on my recent purchase of My Time at Sandrock, I’m trying to focus on one game at a time! But it’s hard 😅

[@Crafty_Cookie_Bandit]

I’m hopelessly addicted to playing Fall Guys I blame them for my backlog. Eventually I’ll get around to grabbing TTYD.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Hahah I couldn't get too hooked on that because I'm RUBBISH at it! Mark

[@Crafty_Cookie_Bandit]

@@SwitchUpYt like most rubbish it compels me to play. Clearly I need a better alternative 😜

[@Simbaninogaming]

Thanks for adding more stuff to my to play list 😮‍💨

[@israelflores5448]

Would love to try insurmountable. Looks very addictive.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yeah that's a cool game. Mark

[@optimize0]

I wholeheartedly agree with you about Imagine Earth. The switch has an excellent selection of strategy games and I'm so happy to see more.

[@ircha]

Wow I need to download and play that Star Wars Hunters game right now 👀💯👍

[@felixfelix7178]

Just bought a switch, I'll add most of them to my list of games to play. Thanks!

[@timmyianni2309]

My backlog has just become a back-library! 😳 It's great you get to game with your daughter. Cherish that time cause they grow up sooo fast. My son's in college now and doesn't have time for his old man but those memories of our gaming time are the best. Love the channel and keep up the good work!

[@bkillinm]

Just finished playing thru the paper Mario remake and wow was it addicting, I couldn’t put it down. Such a smooth and pleasant experience.

[@geordienumber9s2]

The thousand year door is such an underrated rpg, and a reasonably timed experience for adults with less spare time.

[@perfectomega1]

I only started watching your videos about 3 months ago and I have to say I really enjoy the content. It's refreshing and informative without it feeling forced or fake like some other channels out there. I also really enjoy the review scoring format which allows for far more accurate scores being given to games.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Ah good stuff thank you mate - you'll like tonight's video it is due to go out in about 5 minutes! Mark

[@hamdidaud5552]

I'm addicted to see another switchup videos to play another addicting switch games.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Hehehe ❤

[@Honest_Grifter]

Xuan yuan 7 looks pretty interesting, I'm looking forward to eventually getting a chance to check it out... waiting until i finish morbid, hopefully it'll be on sale by then 😂

[@Aura-Of-Syrinx]

I've been loving Grounded! Picked it up on sale and playing it like a survival crafter, and it's just like playing through Honey, I shrunk the kids!

[@NicholasJones-gj2qm]

Another Crab's Treasure. I SUCK at souls-like games, but by just switching off the mechanic where I lose all the currency when I die, it's suddenly made the game massively more accessible to me, and I absolutely love it. I'm fully invested, can't put it down!

[@naseraltaee]

It seems like a great list of games to get started with the summer madness and sink some time into

[@metalliholic]

Have been playing Star Wars hunters on my iPad. Quite impressed with how fun it is.

[@sarasabotage986]

Insurmountable looks like such a new type of roguelite! I am loving the look and gameplay style!! I never got to play the first 1000 Year Door im so excited for this remake, everyone saying its great. Ahhh Animal Well just looks so adorable and scary at the same timeee! Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is top of my wishlist rn, basically all of these games were great to highlight. Ahhhhhh! Great Video as Always Guys!(:

[@tdotran]

Ohhh one of my favorite series. Let’s go baby.

[@ningboch18]

Xuan Yuan Sword - you got the pronunciation right. It was a huge hit in Asia back in the 90s as the first Taiwan RPG with ancient Chinese story setting. The mountain climbing game is an eye-opener, amazed how this can be turned into a decent game. Looking forward to the releases of Monster Hunter Stories 1 and Moonstone Island. They will keep me busy till the end of the summer.

[@jesssealey6552]

I really hope the next Direct has some bangers in it.

[@nicked_fenyx]

I love several of these games, and have been on the fence about Insurmountable. Might have to check it out. Also, fwiw, you're actually pretty darn close on the pronunciation of Xuan Yuan Sword 7. Seriously, good job!

[@andrelarsen7282]

only youtube channel i check on every day , good work guys

[@SwitchUpYt]

THanks Andrew mate - it's appreciated, Mark

[@sarahcurrier43]

Thanks again guys, I was unsure about Insurmountable but after your description Im definitely going to get it. And also thanks for the reminder of Star Wars Hunters as my kids will definitely love playing that together. Im a cosy gamer mostly these days, and I can't seem to out down Lemoncake. It's very addictive and cute. Cheers Guys 😊

[@ryanhinkley1309]

Cheers to the most informative Switch KZbin channel! Thanks for everything.

I’ve started playing Skyrim again, can’t put it down… See, that’s what happens when you put the Anniversary Edition in a sales vid!

[@SwitchUpYt]

Ohhhhhhh man you've just made me want to play it again. Mark

[@shoked99]

Another good list. thanks.

[@romansommersacher5655]

Insurmountable looks very intriguing! Seems like a unique spin on the roguelike genre. I have to wishlist it!

[@AceSox07]

The Vampire Survivors OG looks like a great loading game.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Definitely, perfect actually but difficult to put down. Mark

The Lands Beneath Us does a good job mixing up tactical and action mechanics. Really interesting!

[@NachoManRandySausage]

Recently picked up Sea of Stars and looks so good on the OLED screen. I love the whole aesthetic of it.

[@cristiangarcia87]

I got my switch with points from my last job. I was a merchandiser for a beverage company. Our incentive was a point system base on our sales. With my points I got my nephew. Brother and me a switch. Growing this backlog is extremely fun and enjoyable. Late to the party. But worth the dive.

[@Ghost7065]

That mountain one looks really cool. I might check it out. I'm not sure what game play is like, but it seems interesting.

[@vidclarke]

Thanks @SwitchUp… here’s me sinking endless hours into Minecraft Dungeons and you’ve alerted me to a new Vampire Survivors DLC. I almost thought I was going to see sunlight this month… 👻

Borderlands 3 on Switch. EXCELLENT GAME.

I'm finally playing TOTK after all this time, and I'm not playing anything else anytime soon 😅 I'm hooked

[@orac1978]

Star Wars Hunters - you can use gold coins for a very limited amount of things in the shop. Totally agree, I haven't put it down. Play docked or on an ipad pro (2018) with all settings on full, 60fps using a switch pro controller.

[@murgurbo123]

I feel like I've been waiting for Hunters to come out for ages, I have little time to sink time in to game but I'm enjoying how well this is performing on handheld mode

Cant remember the last time i was proper addicted to a game 😢 Maybe one of these will do it for me

[@kevinphelps5807]

you weren't kidding there are games I never heard of, a rock climbing roguelike? And that Xuan Yuan Sword looks fun as well,

"Duck Souls" has been very addictive lately. Been really getting into the huge variety of platformers available now.

[@SwitchUpYt]

It is decent? Mark

These games all do seem interesting. Imagine Earth for that 'Civ 7 got announced' hype, Xuan Yuan Sword to finally live out one of my beloved cdramas, Paper Mario to follow my current SMRPG playthrough... And the Lands Beneath to follow up a journey through the Lands Between in Elden Ring???

[@aaronwetzel9702]

A few of those are on my wishlist, and as soon as I break my absolutely ridiculous addiction to Balatro I'll pick up one of those, but...I don't see that happening any time soon. Just one more run.

[@brufleth6299]

Not new, but Man-eater was on sale and I pulled the trigger. Not a super long game, but swimming around eating things is surprisingly compelling. I've been very tempted by Image Earth and will probably get it as soon as there's a sale.

[@CharlesJX]

I played the land beneath us demo and it was pretty interesting, how you choose and upgrade your weapons and stats, its pretty cool. Not that much variety of weapons, but idk, i just played the demo :P
