Hey guys! Hope you enjoy this review of Game Dev Story! Well, that's if you make it to this vid, RUclips is having problems with making videos public it seems!
Thanks for reviewing this! I don't have a Switch yet, but I've been thinking about getting one...and I'm a HUGE Kairosoft fan and I was interested in hearing about how well the games they've been releasing for Switch did on a different platform!
My wife fell in love with this game recently. She is really picky about games but this one is in her heart already even after only an evening of play last night. She played till almost 2 am and that's a huge deal!! Warms my heart to see her enjoy games again. Only other ones she plays are Death squared, Word Search by POWGI, Bloons TD 5, Human Fall Flat, Stardew Valley, Octo Dad, and Zen Bound 2.
I played this a bunch when it was released on iOS. I really liked it back in the day until you get to the end game where it just seems very rinse and repeat. I think a great similar game is Holy Potatoes: A Weapon Shop which lampoons a lot of "gamer culture" and has more of a story / motivation for playing the game. As addictive as it is, I don't think I'll double dip.
That's fair enough buddy. I think a fair few people will have already had their fill with this one. Still addictive though even when you know all the ins and outs of it
Yeah it is, I played it on my channel for a video a few months back. It's fun but I prefer Holy Potatoes on the PC / Mac with a keyboard and mouse than the controller (when not playing hand held).
I have had this game for years and I must say I have enjoyed it through and through. I have always been a big fan of Kairosoft games as they have usually made some well made pixelated mobile games for the usual price of around $5.50. I'm glad they're finally moving up in the world, but I wish they made new games on the likes of the switch and not just port in old ones...
I love almost all KairoSoft games. ITS really great that at least three of them are coming to the switch. Hoping for a exclusive down the line. Great review as always!
Eric Plourde Except this game came first and is much better, in my opinion. If you don’t like the price, give it a try on mobile. It’s out for IOS and Android. Its maybe $5. I think the game is amazing. So many outcomes and it’s so rewarding to replay and get better and better earlier in the gameplay until you achieve an almost perfect play through. Acquiring the different great characters for each position within you staff and expanding your office space is also a great aspect of gameplay.
I wish the game was less expensive cause it's $4.99 (and sometimes $3.99) on iPhone. I've been a fan of theirs for soooo long, like probably 5-6 years now, and I was so excited when their games came out on the Switch! Thanks for this review
@@elelel1987 It's not even worth $12 cause it's the exact same as the iPhone game, just on a larger screen. I get why it's more expensive cause it's on the Switch but stilllll
Liked this game but had it on my phone reluctant to get it for my switch + won’t have time as dark souls is coming soon and haven’t played that before so a bit excited. Good review as always
Hey there, how's it going? Took a break from playing the Switch, but now I'm back, and catching up on reviews by you guys. Missed you guys! Great review btw. Game isn't for me, but I certainly see the appeal.
Any major differences between the phone version and the switch version ? Currently going for the same price on the eshop not sure which ones to get. I think I will get switch one because there are too many distractions on phone.
I think most people will have played it a ton already which doesn't work in its favour. Kind of like if Angry Birds released on the Switch. Not sure how many would buy it.
Can you recreate TellTell Games? Meaning you make 1 type of game and when it finally makes it big you reskin the game and release it over and over and over until the companies sudden collapse which you never saw coming but most did as you literally just remade the same game all the time. Honestly, it sucks that a lot of talented people are out of a job but the amount of genre fatigue they created, I’m not surprised it happened and expected it sooner.

This is a great game, but it loses it's replay value pretty quickly after beating it. Such a shame it's so overpriced on switch with no improvements.
I think it should have been half the price for sure. Still a great game though
i love all of the Game Dev games. play em alot on mobile. i agree with you about the pricing
Yeah it's a pity they've gone the "switch tax" route for this one.

Age of Boredom Isn't that on switch too?
That's fair enough buddy. I think a fair few people will have already had their fill with this one. Still addictive though even when you know all the ins and outs of it
Yeah agree, it's super addictive until you work out how to rinse and repeat it.
Yeah it is, I played it on my channel for a video a few months back. It's fun but I prefer Holy Potatoes on the PC / Mac with a keyboard and mouse than the controller (when not playing hand held).
For me, I especially love the music, some kind of epic feel.
I really hope game dev tycoon gets on switch. Granted it doesnt have the charm this game has, but it does this game's job better
Would be cool to have another, more in depth attempt at this genre.

Yeah some new games would be nice. An updated version of this would be great

I'm hoping for the racing one especially
so, basicly, it's game dev tycoon with different graphics, I might take it but the price is quite high

Oh wow 😲.. this game on the Switch now .. nice review Jordan
Thanks buddy! Yeah, it was a nice surprise for me personally!
The mobile version allows you to play the first year for free. At this point, anyone with a phone has played this. Nice video, though.
I loved their racing game, and this one reminds me a game dev game on steam, bought it!
Great review buddy. This wasn't made by the Golf Story folks, was it?
Thanks mate, nah this wasn't made by those folks despite the name
I wish the game was less expensive cause it's $4.99 (and sometimes $3.99) on iPhone. I've been a fan of theirs for soooo long, like probably 5-6 years now, and I was so excited when their games came out on the Switch! Thanks for this review
I'm sure there will be a sale some time down the line. =)
its 12usd on switch
@@elelel1987 It's not even worth $12 cause it's the exact same as the iPhone game, just on a larger screen. I get why it's more expensive cause it's on the Switch but stilllll
I think I’m leaning more towards Dungeon Village, the fantasy setting seems more interesting.
That might be the next one I pick up
Liked this game but had it on my phone reluctant to get it for my switch + won’t have time as dark souls is coming soon and haven’t played that before so a bit excited. Good review as always
This might be a nice palate cleanser if you're playing Dark Souls haha
Top review pal, ill be picking this up sharpish. Might even pick up 1 of the others too
I'm considering another one too! Don't know which one to go for though
Hey there, how's it going? Took a break from playing the Switch, but now I'm back, and catching up on reviews by you guys. Missed you guys!
Great review btw. Game isn't for me, but I certainly see the appeal.
We missed ypu too! Super glad you are back 👍😊
wish kairosoft would make updates to this game i really like it but gets kinda boring without new stuff
The price seems too steep for me. Great in depth review Jordan! Wonder if I can make An EA company, release a ton of dlc and micro transactions.
No DLC or microtransactions can be put into your games, it was made before those were even a thing, a some would say a better time haha
SwitchWatch Those were the days.
Great game with equally cozy pleasing music in my opinion
Did you pick up any of their other games?
Tfw best boy makes a video :)
Tfw OG viewer makes a comment! =) Thanks Lulu!
Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching buddy =)

Looks like a numbers game
This game is $11 on Switch. Way too expensive. I would pay 99 cents or $3.00.
For me it should have been £3.99
@@SwitchWatch it's 300 pesos in México...costs twice as much as Stardew valley
Sx os or atmosphere
Try it on mobile - it’s $5 and on all mobile platforms. It’s worth it.
I remember this on my phone was so much of a time waster loved it.....but on switch....nah
Again good review
I think most people will have played it a ton already which doesn't work in its favour. Kind of like if Angry Birds released on the Switch. Not sure how many would buy it.
3 dollar game, its 12 on switch right now, come on.
Used to play this a lot
Enjoyable game for sure :)

You can try, but you will go out of business... just like a certain company you mentioned haha
What is the intro music?? I need to know!!!
It's called Caribbean Arcade by Christian Nanzell. We use Epidemic Sounds to source our music, so it's from there =)
Thank you for the response haha, you guys use a lot of catchy songs!
Is it on eshop? I can't seem to find it on mines. Is it only for 1 region?
Found it on Japanese eshop.
I bought it on the UK store
@@SwitchWatch I don't know why it's not on NA eshop.
They got rid of the goddam polls
It really is the best
It will always be a favourite of mine!
started as a concole game/pc game
This game is okay, but needs a next gen follow up with convincing anime style graphics.
“anime style graphics”
Eww.. no thank you
iphone or android 3.99usd。switch 12usd。why need to port it in 3x price on switch rather play on a most carriable think in the world{iphone}
It's a fair point
fun game but ridiculously easy. there is absolutely no challenge. and after 5 in game years nothing new happens.
This is not even a switch game it’s 22 years old it’s mobile and it is on the switch
By that definition you could say that 90% of games on the Switch aren't Switch games. 😂 Most are ports
SwitchWatch ok you’re right and what is your Opinion for the breath of the wild champions ballad DLC
