Got my switch (Lite) last year end of December as my first gaming rig, if you wanna call it that. Its also my first console. This channel is something i never thought i needed but very much welcome it. Cheers mate, from Africa (Botswana).
Be careful of heat because the switch lite lcd is crazy fragile, look up “switch lite lcd horizontal lines” and you will see a bunch of switches with broken lcd showing horizontal scanlines. Bought mine on July 2023, lcd broke on September, replaced the lcd and it broke again on October. I waited until Dec 2024 (a year later) to replace it with an OLED mod and it’s been going strong so far.
Literally me every other month these days 😂 there’s just too many games that have me hooked now. Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is top of the top for me right now coming up as well as Monster Hunter Wilds. Saved enough money from work to afford both as well. So excited.
As a Game Designer, naming anything is incredibly difficult as you commit to it and if you choose wrong it can really effect player interest and thus sales.
Maybe it's just me but after the Christmas sales it always seems disappointing to look at my wishlist and see not many on sale there! Happy new years guys keep rocking the excellent switch videos
I could name a game Jambalaya Junction... I just made that up 5 seconds ago. But it'd be a Paperboy inspired game. You traverse the French Quarter, you gotta watch out for potholes, pick pockets, speeding cars, people doing weird stuff on bikes. You gotta navigate past roads block off for second lines or construction. Your life meter is a hand grenade (the tall drink), you can refill your health by taking a sip, but you can't drink too much (or spill it) or you run out of health. The big boss will be Margi Gras. I don't know how to make video games
I neglected picking up Dust & Neon for the longest time because of its mixed reviewed, but I’m so glad I finally did a while back. It’s not life alteringly special or anything, but it’s just such a solid way to spend some time having fun.
strikey sisters is like the best arkanoid game ever made. The combat element makes it so much more fun than a normal arkanoid clone. All the hidden content and massive amount of bonus content you unlock for beating the game make it such a great value.
This video has been one part of my Sunday routine. It doesn’t feel like the end of the weekend until I listen to Mark muse about sales, food, and other random thoughts.
Luckily for the backlog nothing jumping out at me this week! Although one of the chapter headers said cassette beasts which is a game I've been tempted by for a while. But I did play Coromon a couple months ago so resisting another monster catcher type game for now!
Ship of Fools seems like a fun way to spend the night gaming with a friend might have to pick that up assuming I can convince friends to play something aside from Mario Party Jamboree when visiting 😂
If the music making part of monomals strikes anyone's fancy, check out Korg Gadget. It's not a game, it's music production software for nintendo switch. Has multi-instrument timeline arrangement with piano roll sequencing, and several different soft synths, and drum machines.
I'm with Mark on Shogun Showdown... Doesn't instantly grab me But Glen's enthusiasm for it might make me take a punt on something outside my comfort zone
Did y'all know that Train Valley had a sequel? Train Valey 2: Community Edition. I stole it for under $7 when it was on sale last week, so I had to grab it, you know. I can't have the first one without the second. I also snagged Cross Tails at its sale. I was not going to, but at the last hour, I closed my eyes and pulled the trigger.
You fellows not only give some of the best Switch content (personality, good explanation, fair reviews even if I don’t always agree lol) but also give back to the community with Switch giveaways. Glad I discovered y’all years ago 😄 See Yahhhhh
I wish I could like Highwater more but I hate the boat. The turning radius is terrible and it feels awful to use. The map has tons of hidden locations to explore but there's rarely anything to find which in this case is a blessing because using the boat is so bad so just go directly from A to B. Otherwise the aesthetic is nice and it reminds me of the book Zodiac by Neal Stephenson.
I bought Slay the Spire on sale last week, and I've been playing it non-stop. I've completely run out of eshop funds. And now comes in another sales video with more than a few games I'm honestly interested in... Please guys give me a break hahaha
@ it d be so cool if there was a way to submit questions and you d do an episode answering the ones you fancy. Or selecting a few to add in the community tab. We could have questions for you like how many switch games do you own or whatever and questions to the community like what’s your monthly budget to spend on games. Just an idea not sure if it s a good one . Anyways, good night ! ☺️
I know its sale video and its awesome as always, but i have to tell in case someone didnt notice, the Freedom Wars Remastered is being released, this game is awesome played online, totally worth playing it, and also Dodonpachi which I think was out of stock is now digital so its worth getting too
Switch has been in repair since before Christmas, best part of having time off over Christmas was playing switch until the early hours before I had responsibilities. There’s always next Christmas!
I have five of these games and the normal version of the sponsor so I actually escaped this week. Finally got my physical of SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos last week. I didn't get a chance to play it yet but another fighting game added to my switch collection. Hopefully Switch 2 will bring some ports like SF6 and Tekken 8 to really expand that fighting library to current day as well.
Came here to say the same haha. Wonder if maybe someone snatched up some footage from SwitchCorner's channel and didn't realize that was there lol. Worth letting it pass since Alex came to help during 12 Days of SwitchUp! 😂
Thanks again for the winning OLED. From the guy who lives from the Land of Kings (where you were born, Mark). Though, probably better to refer to it as the Lans of 'Gypsy' Kings. Keep up the excellent work guys!
I'm treating SwitchUp as my own personal game. I'm slowly working my way backwards with your videos. I've been watching for about two years now (got a Nintendo Switch late... I'm poor, what can I say) and I've liked every video but also plan to have a 100% LIKE and a 100% WATCHED achievement. Watch this space. Haha!
I really need to try out Chernobylite; bought at release but job has been so hellish since, so it's still in the backlog. It looks so good... But, thanks for all the co-op recommendations this week; my co-op partner (my youngest niece) is currently vacationing at the beach :P but I'll add them all to my Wishlist, see what she thinks interesting.
Sometimes, these videos and this channel give me a sense of hope. That we can still get good things in this life. Cheers! And good luck on the backlog and wallet :)
Considering Highwater from that list, played the golf one and interested to see more of that world. Is there a still a Switch to be given away? My daughter wants to have her own Animal Crossing island and isn't allowed to delete my game save! Plus she watches these videos too and after each one shouts "See yaaaaaaa". If you don't ask...
Not heard of a single one of these, always nice to be introduced to something new. Highwater looks visually stunning, obviously nothing ground breaking like we get on PS5 but I mean the art direction and how ot comes together is visually pleasing to the eye. Might have to check this one out. Cheers guys 🍻
Went out and picked up chernobylite hope it's good. Upgraded to OLED already gave my lite away anonymously through a social worker friend of mine to a foster kid. It made his year. He never received anything like that in his life . Maybe you can do the same with one of the OLEDs you're giving away. Thanks for the great videos guys.
The sequel to Ender's lilies is 10% off, saving my money for that one, all i need is a good SwitchUp thumbs up in terms of performance, hopefully you guys get the review up before the sales is over.
There aren’t many channels out there who give away presents to their subscribers. Thanks guys for being generous and brightening people’s day with a kind act ❤🎉🎉🎉
After going through hundreds of your videos the games I decided to buy with my Christmas money were FEZ, Phoenotopia, Everafter Falls and Drova Forsaken Kin 🥰
Oooh Highawater is on sale! I have been interested in it since it came out so I will definitely pick it up! I was going to wait until I got the Switch 2 before buying any new games but this is a damn good deal!
The yeear 2025 have been started surprisilly well on Nintendo Switch eshop sales with a lot of good games on sales like the new robot game: Boti Byteland Overclicked and gotta say your sponsor Chernobylite is one of the biggest Switch games of 2024 I would love to try it, it gives Stalker vibes! I still have the current Switch so I really hope that I can get Switch OLED too before Switch 2 that would be a perfect Switch collection. These sales would be the last before Switch 2 Nintendo it's only about time! 😮❤
Blood will be spilled sounds interesting, you're right for that price I'll have to try it. 100% on Xenoblade's name choice, the whole game is weird for naming - the monado?!?
I had no idea they added more to blasphemous 2!! I really liked that game, I actually stopped playing just before beating it because I hate beating things 😅, or finishing things. Like tv shows. I just watched Star Trek enterprise again and I didn’t watch the last 5 episodes cuz In my head id rather it feels like it continues lol. But I definitely will play and beat it now that there’s more stuff! Thanks for the heads up

Which games are you considering? I’ve tried to gather up some more obscure releases in this one! Mark
Figment, never had it and I love this kind of games
Have you looked at the preview reviews for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 as yet Mark?
Got my switch (Lite) last year end of December as my first gaming rig, if you wanna call it that. Its also my first console. This channel is something i never thought i needed but very much welcome it. Cheers mate, from Africa (Botswana).
You clearly have no idea what a gaming rig is, just using words you hear on the internet 😂

Could u be any ruder? What is wrong with u? It doesn't cost anything to just be kind.@@mrGrier728
It's Sunday and I wanna buy something!! To hell with the backlog! Gimme that dopamine rush!
Hehehe yeah I feel that mood. Mark
Not for me. Putting all my pennies into my Switch 2 fund now. Every time i pass up on the urge to buy a game, I put a few quid in the pot.
Backlog be damned!!!
@concept226 now that's a good idea! Congrats on the self control haha
Literally me every other month these days 😂 there’s just too many games that have me hooked now. Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is top of the top for me right now coming up as well as Monster Hunter Wilds. Saved enough money from work to afford both as well. So excited.

Yeah I imagine it’s nightmare! Mark
Yeahhh, the beloved sunday Routine by filling up the backlog and lowering the finances 🤪
Haha I know that one! Mark
Shipped one off to the place you were born 😮 Your dad will be gaming hard this weekend 😂😂
😂 the TOWN 😂
Maybe it's just me but after the Christmas sales it always seems disappointing to look at my wishlist and see not many on sale there! Happy new years guys keep rocking the excellent switch videos

Yeah exactly it’s a fun time. Mark
Got paid a week early, January lasting FOREVER……let’s add to the backlog!!!
Booya grats! Mark
A shout out for a Seattle corn dog, $0.99. A hotdog on a stick, dipped in corn bread batter and deep fried. Served with mustard.
Oh nice sounds tasty!
Blasphemous 2 and Doomsday Hunters are most interesting to me. Could have given a shout out to ramen noodles for the price comparisons at the end 😂
True True!
What backlog? Sure I can play all of these games when I retire!
Keep up this awesome series guys…love it!
True true - there’s gonna be a lot of us OAPs playing Switch games haha
Come on Mark, give Shogun Showdown a try! Quite difficult, and absolutely crazy addictive
Hear, hear! My favourite indie of 2024 👍🏻
Fantastic game.
I need to finish Xenoblade 3 first 😂
Xenoblade is a bit of a tribute to previous monolith software games, mixed up with blade as the game revolts around a blade or blades.
strikey sisters is like the best arkanoid game ever made. The combat element makes it so much more fun than a normal arkanoid clone. All the hidden content and massive amount of bonus content you unlock for beating the game make it such a great value.

Arf that snuck through
Just got the BioShock collection for cheap in Game
Played them on the Xbox and now love having them in handheld!
Ship of Fools seems like a fun way to spend the night gaming with a friend might have to pick that up assuming I can convince friends to play something aside from Mario Party Jamboree when visiting 😂
Love the aesthetic to Blood Will Be Spilled, the ant dudes with the western look fits perfect 🤘🏻
Kind of reminds me of the movie Rango 😅
Just bought Wolfenstein II which has a great sale on atm. Story-driven Doom? Yes, please!
If the music making part of monomals strikes anyone's fancy, check out Korg Gadget. It's not a game, it's music production software for nintendo switch. Has multi-instrument timeline arrangement with piano roll sequencing, and several different soft synths, and drum machines.
I'm with Mark on Shogun Showdown... Doesn't instantly grab me
But Glen's enthusiasm for it might make me take a punt on something outside my comfort zone
Started playing Chernobylite last night, and it's decent! Definitely scratching that metro/fallout type itch.
Yeah it’s got a great loop. Mark
Thanks for another great sales video! Thankfully, I’m safe this week. I’m still playing Tinykin, which I picked up last week on sale. So fun!
Did y'all know that Train Valley had a sequel? Train Valey 2: Community Edition. I stole it for under $7 when it was on sale last week, so I had to grab it, you know.

Monomals looks so awesome. Ive has my eye on it for ages and I think I'm finally going to pick it up for my backlog.
It's only 30 fps, though. The switch 60 fps trailers are misleading.
I bought Slay the Spire on sale last week, and I've been playing it non-stop. I've completely run out of eshop funds. And now comes in another sales video with more than a few games I'm honestly interested in... Please guys give me a break hahaha
Your link to 3:53 is claiming to be Cassete Beasts when it’s Dust and Neon instead.
Cool I’ll fix that cheers
If you want to hear the rest of that Sea Shanty on Ship of Fools, have a search for the release trailer!
Ember Knights? Amazing game!
Yeah that’s it
Nice one thank you as soon as I heard that. I knew this is the one me and my Fiance can play 6:59
All these Switch 2 leaks may just be the most genius and effective marketing strategy yet!!
Makes me feel like I need to drink more water!! 😂
"Blood Will Be Spilled" is a reference to "There Will Be Blood" I think.
That makes sense I think
Blasphemous two is definitely a standout here. Figment 1 + 2 at those prices are a great deal.
Dust and neon looks just like that space marshals game
So many nice ones I think I’d pick most of them 😅 have a great week!
Thank you mate
@ it d be so cool if there was a way to submit questions and you d do an episode answering the ones you fancy. Or selecting a few to add in the community tab. We could have questions for you like how many switch games do you own or whatever and questions to the community like what’s your monthly budget to spend on games.

Naming something is a whole different game in itself. Ngl.
Can either take you a whole lot of time or just a quick snap. Very polarizing indeed.
Figment bundle is unbelievable value. As I happily paid much more for them long ago, I’m picking up the time travel bundle. Thanks guys.
I know its sale video and its awesome as always, but i have to tell in case someone didnt notice, the Freedom Wars Remastered is being released, this game is awesome played online, totally worth playing it, and also Dodonpachi which I think was out of stock is now digital so its worth getting too

Super Mega Zero looks right up my street, and I've never heard of it until now. Thanks chaps!
"Try not ti Die" is a safe name for any game genre i think.
10:06 The check out of our other channels popup is a bit sus to me
That’s Switch Corners channel - go check him out he’s great! @@SwitchCorner
Came here to say the same haha. Wonder if maybe someone snatched up some footage from SwitchCorner's channel and didn't realize that was there lol. Worth letting it pass since Alex came to help during 12 Days of SwitchUp! 😂
@@hindsightdocumentary8351 no it’s fine he knows. We use each other’s footage all the time if one of us doesn’t have some :)
Ember knights. One of my personal favorites
Thanks again for the winning OLED.
From the guy who lives from the Land of Kings (where you were born, Mark).
Though, probably better to refer to it as the Lans of 'Gypsy' Kings.
Keep up the excellent work guys!
Thanks for always keeping us updated on what's up at the Nintendo shop
Grabbed Triangle Strategy off Amazon on sale this week! Physical copy!
I over-spent on games around Christmas. I'm currently playing Astroneer. I need to get back to Chernobylite at somepoint
I'm treating SwitchUp as my own personal game. I'm slowly working my way backwards with your videos. I've been watching for about two years now (got a Nintendo Switch late... I'm poor, what can I say) and I've liked every video but also plan to have a 100% LIKE and a 100% WATCHED achievement. Watch this space. Haha!
Finding out one more again to it is now roundabout
A few on here that I’ve never even heard of! Good digging fellas
I really need to try out Chernobylite; bought at release but job has been so hellish since, so it's still in the backlog. It looks so good...

I enjoyed dust &neon when I played it, and probably paid a chunk more than this price. Good pickup
Looks like it's time to add Highwater and Ship of Fools to the ol' list!
Ship of Fools is my latest addiction! Great video as always lads!
That blood will be spilled looks similar to steam world heist. Just western in it's thematic and with bugs instead of robots.
Dust and neon is a very underrated game.
Wooo another oled up for grabs? Yes please! Thanks for the videos guys!
Shogun Showdown is one of the best games I played last year. Highly recommended.
Looks like Doomsday Hunters look fun! I'll have to wishlist it first since i got Terra Memoria yesterday.
You had me at the Time Travel bundle. 😃
I just got an OLED this Christmas and my gf and I have been filling out our library, I’m a fiend for sales so videos like these are perfect!
I finished Blasphemous last month and bought the second right after, but I first need some less grimm games to dive in 😆
Ship of fools seems perfect for me and my wife! We recently got Keywe, that's a great one for coop sessions. Thanks for the Barjans and Vetkoek!
Considering Highwater from that list, played the golf one and interested to see more of that world. Is there a still a Switch to be given away? My daughter wants to have her own Animal Crossing island and isn't allowed to delete my game save! Plus she watches these videos too and after each one shouts "See yaaaaaaa".
If you don't ask...
It has the state radio station as that one as well. Mark
Ember Knights is an excellent roguelike
Dust and Neon has a Space Marshall 2 look to it
Might grab shogun showdown, need something light and easy to pick up and put down, cheers for the list
Im bloody sure that at this point the act of buying games gives me more dopamine than actually playing them.
Not heard of a single one of these, always nice to be introduced to something new. Highwater looks visually stunning, obviously nothing ground breaking like we get on PS5 but I mean the art direction and how ot comes together is visually pleasing to the eye. Might have to check this one out. Cheers guys 🍻
I was just wondering as well if the Nintendo first party games codes were given out already? I'm not sure if I completely missed it 😂
2 so far thanks for reminding me though still got a few to go! Mark
@@SwitchUpYtawesome! Great videos as always! Thank you 🙏🏻
Went out and picked up chernobylite hope it's good. Upgraded to OLED already gave my lite away anonymously through a social worker friend of mine to a foster kid. It made his year. He never received anything like that in his life . Maybe you can do the same with one of the OLEDs you're giving away. Thanks for the great videos guys.
New Years Resolution: no new games until the Switch 2 arrives, lets see how long this one lasts...
Shogun showdown looks slick and only heard good things. Like side-on into the breach?
I also have a friend who lives where I was born. But then the hospital found out and he had to move 😅
The sequel to Ender's lilies is 10% off, saving my money for that one, all i need is a good SwitchUp thumbs up in terms of performance, hopefully you guys get the review up before the sales is over.
Yo when is that out? Mark
@SwitchUpYt January 23rd
There aren’t many channels out there who give away presents to their subscribers. Thanks guys for being generous and brightening people’s day with a kind act ❤🎉🎉🎉
I still need to play Blasphemous 1. It’s been sitting in my backlog for 2 years 😱
After going through hundreds of your videos the games I decided to buy with my Christmas money were FEZ, Phoenotopia, Everafter Falls and Drova Forsaken Kin 🥰
I did get away unscathed but it gets harder and harder each week :P so many great deals and great games
You are literally the best Switch RUclipsr going! All the tasty info with none of the aggro that is the eShop browser 😅🤣
You the G.O.A.T
The Switch 2 is starting to feel like Silksong.
I'm really going to need you guys to get dave the diver in one of these vids. Can you get it sorted, please? 😁
Always love your reviews and darn good recommendations. Keep up the good work
Oooh Highawater is on sale! I have been interested in it since it came out so I will definitely pick it up!
I was going to wait until I got the Switch 2 before buying any new games but this is a damn good deal!
The yeear 2025 have been started surprisilly well on Nintendo Switch eshop sales with a lot of good games on sales like the new robot game: Boti Byteland Overclicked and gotta say your sponsor Chernobylite is one of the biggest Switch games of 2024 I would love to try it, it gives Stalker vibes! I still have the current Switch so I really hope that I can get Switch OLED too before Switch 2 that would be a perfect Switch collection. These sales would be the last before Switch 2 Nintendo it's only about time! 😮❤
Yeah it definitely has STALKER vibes. Mark
@@SwitchUpYt yes it has!
Grabbed Super Mega Zero after trying out the demo, pretty fun! Also found Super Impossible Road by the same developer 👍
Shogun Showdown looks soooo cool!
Highwater looks rather appealing visually, but nothing for me this week! I must save my money and system storage for later purchases!
Blood will be spilled sounds interesting, you're right for that price I'll have to try it. 100% on Xenoblade's name choice, the whole game is weird for naming - the monado?!?
You need to play Slime Girl Smoothies. Get the physical UK version. Not the US version.
I had no idea they added more to blasphemous 2!! I really liked that game, I actually stopped playing just before beating it because I hate beating things 😅, or finishing things. Like tv shows. I just watched Star Trek enterprise again and I didn’t watch the last 5 episodes cuz In my head id rather it feels like it continues lol. But I definitely will play and beat it now that there’s more stuff! Thanks for the heads up
Thanks guys :)
Love dust & neon kinda underrated game it is
Holy moley figment one and two for that cheap! Start loading the eshop!
