The Witcher 3 Nintendo Switch "NEXT-GEN" Update Patch 4.04 Review!

[@SwitchUpYt]

Update: Cross save does work with steam I totally missed that just click on “Rewards” and login. The first save will be in your other versions once you’ve also logged in using the same method. Aside from the real clanger they made with the sounds - let me know what you think of this one! Mark

Thank you mate! Mark

[@kerpoise]

Totally. It seems like so many games are released too soon, get a bad score, look terrible on metacritic, and so no one buys them. In the meantime the devs are patching them all up, and the games are significantly better than their score suggests.

[@BloodlessJG]

Played whole game & dlc on the switch in handheld, perfectly good experience. Great game 👍

[@Neko123Uchiha]

I love that they still got the update on the Switch! Lots of quality of life improvements. But I do hope they fix the missing ambient sound bug. This is super distracting and takes away the atmosphere, especially in forests (which is pretty much the whole game lol). I noticed this bug right after updating, because I had the normal music turned down, and my game was just ... eerily silent.

[@Neko123Uchiha]

I know this is late, but the audio got fixed a while ago! :)

[@Alex-pk1iy]

YES. I knew I wasn’t crazy in thinking the ambient sounds were broken on Switch! Otherwise, welcome update that brings life back to Switcher 3! ❤

In the menu, the sounds when navigating up and down are also broken. I noticed it in the Bestiary.

[@cryptocharity106]

Really glad you made a video addressing this patch. Similar to you I started playing the Witcher 3 again after half a year. I literally had the same thought the game seemed a bit more choppy than I recalled but it’s been so long it’s hard to know for sure. Regardless, still love the game and appreciate the updates but another patch would be amazing. I play with AA off and Sharpening on high, definitely the best setting on switch IMO.

[@SwitchUpYt]

For sure that's the way! Mark

[@johndoe8785]

I just got done playing through and i counted 6 full conversations without audio and dozens of areas with absolutely no sound. Pretty crazy if you ask me.

[@chokedbybacklog5433]

Performance is definitely worse. Before the patch it was solid 30, barely any drops to like 27, 28 or 25 at the worst of times. Definitely wasn't hovering around 20.

[@consumeproduce]

definitely going to come back to this for a second play through when we get to winter in the UK. nothing better than eacaping to Novigrad when its dark out at 5pm

[@SwitchUpYt]

Absolutely agree - such a lovely world. Mark

[@marcw3852]

It's kind of magic to get this on the Switch, with what is essentially a chipset from a 2015 android tablet. I did complete it on the console... But playing it in handheld, found it unplayable on the TV due to the graphical and performance cutbacks being laid bare on the big screen.

[@Chubby-chinZamboni]

Respect! Love to see this kind of effort on our beloved Switch.

[@DamichiLP]

And I thought I was crazy! I knew there were some performance issues with the "next gen" update.. I noticed 3-4 fps drop on average, which might not sound like much, but when you have got only 30of them, it can be quite tough😂

[@Papibife]

Brother u can change the subtitles size now with this patch for the Switch lite ?

[@Bassywassy20]

2:39 The hair! xD I actually used this review to choose if I'd buy Witcher 3 for switch, already had it on PC. All the things said here are spot on. Primary issue is the obvious graphical downgrade, which is solved by either blur or taking the sharpening pixels. Second thing, not as bothersome, is that you can tell the hardware sometimes struggles a bit with cinematics and certain area's - but it doesn't get in the way of your playing. Besides for then having to get used to the button setup, which is different but rather well done - its a legendary game you can now play laying on your bed or a couch. Think thats all you need to know. Thanks for the review guys!

[@Tones_24]

I’d say my favorite addition is being able to upload my save and continue on the ps5 version

Crappy, overpriced version that lost its novelty with devices like the Steam deck releasing

[@cozzy4447]

​​@@jimmyjay689how many times 🤦‍♂️. Obviously you'd call it crap if your comparing it to every other version which is just stupid because of the hardware differences of switch vs every other system. But if you own nothing other than a switch the witcher 3 is incredible. Considering it runs on 2016 mobile phone hardware the game runs extremely well. Looks beautiful Considering its 720 and has everything every other version has DLC and all. And best of all it runs completely off the physical cartridge. And if you don't like it get it on any other system. Personally I love being able to just pick it up and play whenever I like and I can take the downgrades as overall it doesn't diminish the experience at least for me.

[@jase276]

@@jimmyjay689 Calling the Switch overpriced when you have Steam Deck in the same sentence, lol... I have both and the Deck is definitely a headache. The only real reason to get it is for modding games, IMO, and Linux is the worst thing on the planet so that makes it hell. Can't even handle current gen gaming, so idk why people fluff it up. The Switch is cheaper AND comes with a dock whereas with the Deck you need to buy it separately on top of an already expensive device

[@ot9523]

Lol you played the game so much the screen stopped working only joking but I’ve had my original switch since 2019 the joy cons still work fine and I’ve played it tons over the years the only thing wrong is with the right joy con when you take it off you don’t see the little light on it but they still work i got the split pad pros to i play my switch docked mostly it’s just better on the big screen you miss so much on a small screen

Hope they fix the ambient sounds but otherwise such a solid game and extremely happy for cloud saving!

[@tecstalinramirez]

Does this happen between PS4 and switch?, The cross saves?

[@TheTOShow1]

@@tecstalinramirez I think it might. Do you have the game for both platforms? You'll need to create a GOG account first which will allow cloud saving. Try and update the PS4 and Switch versions to the newest patch and then make a cloud save. If it works then you should be able to load that save state on Switch.

[@danielludwig647]

Ugh…it sucks when a patch itself is botched x.x I really hope they can fix this. You know, I also hope that someday they consider new ports of the Witcher 1 and 2. Maybe those would be less of a technical challenge to get running on the Switch.

[@bayleyinc]

There remaking the first one I believe

[@djspacewhale]

Witcher 3 on Switch is already wildly impressive and it feels unfair asking for *more* features, but as DOS2 and a lot of first party games have surround sound I wonder if adding that would be accessible here or if it would balloon the file size even more than it already is

[@winfriedmaus]

The GOG account does not only sync between PC and Switch; it also syncs to Xbox and Playstation.

[@Bobby-Dingers]

This game is soooo good, personally it's my number 1. Can't wait until the next installment comes out. A remake of witcher 2 would be nice as well. And to think, I almost gave up on it, 20 hours in. Luckily I pushed on😅... probably 500hrs deep now.

[@rushpatriot2866]

I gave up on it probably ten hours in the fighting mechanics seemed off or maybe hard or clunky that's why I dropped it but I hear so many good things about it and I like the universe of witcher. I just tried to buy it at Walmart but they don't have it I'll have to wait until GameStop opens

[@nechikuokami106]

Hey Switch Up ! I'm pretty sure the game already supported cross saves with Steam, even pre-patch. Maybe the update is that they added support for GOG ? Or have they removed it for steam ?

[@jaspindergrewal9962]

I really recommend you give it another try. Played this game on Xbox and just couldn't get into it. It was on sale on day for the switch so I gave it another go and absolutely fell in love with the game. I think I logged something like 200 to 250 hours into it on the switch after not really being a big fan on the Xbox. I think the portable aspect of it aloud me to play it anywhere I wanted and then and only then I found out what an amazing game it was. And the DLC's are amazing themselves

[@Khalil-Ibrahim21]

Same here. Tried it on the switch and 2 times on the series X but somehow couldn't continue

Hi SwitchUp ! I have been following your work since I adquired a Switch Lite back in 2019 and i wanted to thank you for you amazing and constent Work 😊 Thank you for your work through the years, i have been watching a lot of your Reviews on a plethora of Games and sometimes i just cannot believe the Switch have so many Good Games .. there are Games for absolutely and everyone and Witcher 3 is a > on Handheld .. I remember the days i was playing with Gameboys , as well as Ds and Psp and Handheld Gaming improved SO much when i see what developers are able to do with a Handheld from 2017 still nowadays .. I have been Playing 40+Hours of Witcher 3 before giving up because it was way too long for me, but i was barely a few hours in on Ps4 .. Many Games are just better on Handheld , nowadays i get fatigued in front of a Tv screen and i am obly 26 years old ahah 😅 So I do not Play Much Nowadays but I plan to buy again Dbz Kakarot on Switch once every Dlc are going to come out ( Finished it on Ps4 ) ; But for Now Monster Hunter Stories 2 is going to be my new pick 😊

I'm so happy with the next gen update finally coming to the switch! I do still miss the new option to adjust the camera perspective to a more over the shoulder style, like the one you see when activating the witcher sense. For as far as I know, it hasn't made it to the switch release. I was also secretly hoping for a graphic preset, to easily change the post processing between handheld and docked mode (instead of fiddling with the options each time you change game style) but maybe that's for patch 5.0 😉

I have my original Witcher Complete Edition copy on GOG, but logging onto the server shows that you can link up with Steam as well. Either one is what they give you, but I like CD Projekt Red as well as their faithful game service. When I bought all of my old games like Doom etc, they are the original files that you can load up into a vintage gaming PC that runs Windows 95/98... Which I also have. I've played Morrowind using my GOG copy on my tablet using wine. GOG's no DRM makes things fun again. I have a heck of a time with the shrieker at lvl 10 (recommended lvl 8) outside the bloody Barron's place at the perch, but absolutely wreck the Ekki vampire at lvl 8 (recommended lvl 11) in the Griffin School Witcher tomb above the bog, East of Dranogslayer's Grotto. Wyvern, vampires, and everything else falls so easily... OP Uber Chicken Alarm Shriekers, bleed you out in minute(s)... That's the only thing I've found that doesn't scale like the rest of the game!

So for some reason I was feeling a bit reluctant about going back into the Witcher 3 and seeing what this update is about.

What a way of spitting in our faces😭 I want a proper DLC without having to compromise on the quality of the game, and I don't want to feel less than other platform players.

Where was 20 around 30 was there, and Leonardo da Vinci approved that any above 26 look as motion in our mind

[@StephlandDon]

I really appreciate the patch update videos I cannot wait to log in and get all them rewards ‼️

[@madness3795]

Pretty cool because I just ordered the big box can't wait thanks switchup!

[@mappybc6097]

It's cause you haven't played it in a while. W3 on the Switch has never been a stable 30fps. If you played at launch, you were lucky to hit those 20fps on busy places like Novograd.

Tnx for the update on this great game cheers from Sweden

I’m surprised they didn’t add the alternate 3rd person view like they did on the PS5.

[@Finn_Anwarunya]

Id just started replaying through this not long before this update and now I've gotta pause again until they sort this out. Im glad they brought over the new stuff, but you'd think this is something that would be caught in the process. Hopefully they get it squashed pretty soon. Otherwise is there a way to go back to the last version?

[@Rytom]

You can erase the content for Witcher 3 from your switch, that will delete the patch and go back to 1.0 if you want to find the previous one, you can't. your only hope is to align your switch on another one that hasn't updated the game. The only easy way would be to grab the previous patch and install it through homebrew, which requires a hacked switch.

[@Finn_Anwarunya]

@@Rytom Well I imagine the patch is around the corner. I don't see them releasing such a big update and not fix such a small but extremely noticeable issue as quick as they can.

[@ZeusTheIrritable]

I completely forgot this was coming. I was late to the Witcher party, but really liked being able to swap back and forth between PC and Switch, and I was bummed when the Next Gen update wasn't cross save compatible. I'll have to fire it back up again.

[@ThePlob]

Havent picked the game up yet might have to with it being on sale great vid lads

[@GoldenLeafsMovies]

Something I read was not in this version was the optional camera zooms, but I haven't booted up the game to check if that's true.

[@Damien_Paxton]

Hey Mark, is 3:37 the Witcher 2. Not 3?

[@pumpkin14]

Was looking to see if anyone else noticed this haha

[@MakanaMediaFilms]
