We started SwitchUp as we just didn’t find what we were looking for in what was already out there. There are some brilliant creators - but we enjoyed a more retro format like the old gaming magazines. Scoring 5 sections out of 20 to give a percentage score like the good old days! Hopefully, you enjoyed our more unusual style. We’ll always try and cover any new Nintendo Switch games, Top Nintendo Switch games or Upcoming releases as best we can.
For all things Switch all the time, keep it SwitchUp!
Mark and Glen
Good luck to anyone entering the giveaway, we will announce winners in a future video. Are you picking up Torchlight II? What do you make of it. Let us know. Happy gaming. Glen

Hey Mark hey Glen!
Many months are passed😮
How are you!?🤓
My favourite pet on this game is definitely the wolf 🐺☝️
I love the wolf since the legend of zelda twilight princess & afterwards more on beginning of the first season Game of Thrones
The puppies ❤️✨
A big hug
Be blessed brothers
Hey Raven, great to hear from you. How are you my friend? Glen
SwitchUp I am fine😊 I had a lot of exams & a 6 week internship on a kindergarden
Afterwards I had Vacation of 3 Weeks but spent 1 Full week as a volunteer on a Summer camp 😊
Excellent stuff. Great to have you back with us. Glen
Just picked this up on sale today! Had to search for the SwitchUp review like I do with all games I may purchase!
On sale for $4.99 atm, worth it?
This review made me buy the game for $15 on switch sale. Good on you, mate.
TeeOneZee if you haven’t already check out Diablo 3 on switch, you can get it for £30 on eBay and it’s great, it’s what torchlight is emulating.
Unicorn, i love seeing the fluffy guy walk around around, jam his horn into enemies, and the occasional sound effect.
Funny, I do the same after a few drinks 🍸
Never played torchlight but I'm a huge fan of Diablo, champions of Norath, return of Norath and the d&d series. Just picked up TL 2 for $4.99.
Having never played a Torchlight game I can confidently say my favourite pet is the Penguin, because penguins are awesome
If there’s a cat in the game that’ll be my favorite. I always love having cats in any game because they are such weird and quirky critters. Bonus points if they animate a side hop!
My favorite pet was always the dog. He reminded me of my dog growing up and I named him the same name. Can’t wait to name another companion after my childhood friend! So happy TL2 is coming to switch! Cheers!
I haven't played any Torchlight games, but I am a fan of loot-heavy dungeon crawlers. I think the classic D&D / fantasy "Mimic" would be an ideal loot-delivering pet. A monstrous, living treasure chest hopping with me through a dungeon, with a big mouth of sharp teeth, biting enemies and gobbling up treasures, should exist, if it does not, already.
I like the wolf in Torchlight because wolves are straight up dope pets
Seems like another good Switch port from Panic Button.
My favorite Torchlight pet would have to be a tiger. Not just any tiger though but a cub tiger. I always loved tigers and with one by my side and I'd be tearing thought these dungeons.
Since this is on the Nintendo Switch I would loved to have Bowser as my pet in the game. He'd be one hell of a support character and imagine the price he'd get in the markets. Like who would want to deny Bowser his asking price?
Yoshi would be great as well.
@@DefiedFaith I would love that way more than the unicorn!
How about Mario?
I tend to pick the pet according to the character--melee folks get a bulldog, gunfighters get a ferret, mages get an owl, etc.
Honestly just the standard Wolf as a pet always did me back in the day!
The unicorn is kinda bright.
The pets were all pretty sweet! I always tended towards the dog, but I’d love to see something new like monster creatures. Beholders or the such from D&D days. The dog was just an easy fit.
I am strictly PC player, but this really seems great. Thx for video man.
No worries mate. Glen
On sale now for £4 in the UK. So obviously I'm watching this to see if it's worth grabbing this one or No.3
The animation of that unicorn is weird lol... I hope they apply a patch for the PC to utilize controller too. Been a fan of this game since 2012 and my carpal tunel is screaming now :D
Great review! I always liked the owl - having a flying pet felt less intrusive on the screen - I just wish it would land on my shoulder ;)
I still enjoy the cat, as when else do you get to tell a cat what to do and it actually does it! 😸
This channel is magnificent! Informative reviews and great "lists". Perfect for an older gamer with limited time like myself. Thanks fellas, keep up the great work!
I didn't have any interest in owning a Switch. We ended up getting one for our youngest, then he wanted a PC for Xmas that year. He didn't even touch the Switch after that. I ended up trying it out and now it's my favorite way to game.
Daniel Johnson haha wow! Dang kids lol he doesn’t know what he’s missing out on lol. What games have you been playing?
My favorite pet is the wolf. It might be cliche - but I love wolves. The reason Siberian Huskies are my favorite dogs are because they resemble wolves. Ergo - the wolf is by far my favorite pet.
And its 60fps. I'm obsessed. I never played an arpg and this is my first. So much fun
Great review. Convinced me to buy this game on eshop which is currently on sale. Thank you, as always.
How did you like the game?
@@x.MaverickHunter.x i'm finally playing it now and it's beautiful! I played the first on PC last year and enjoyed it, but this one is so much better. The story is even more interesting!
@@randalthor6872did you experience any framedrops?
In the PC version of Torchlight I always went with the Papillon pet (the tiny scruffy dog) because it was modeled after Runic Games' actual office dog, Falcor, and I thought that was a great nod to the team who made the game and their unofficial mascot. (Also, his owner and their PR rep, Wonder Russell, is an awesome human.) So if that's available in the Switch version I'll probably stick with that. If I could have anything, though, I'd want a Mimic, or the Luggage from Discworld - since it basically functions as a companion storage unit anyhow, having it be a literal baggage strikes me as hilarious.
Picked this up on my laptop but just couldn't get into it in the keyboard and my game pad sucked. Been waiting 7-8 years for this to release on a worthwhile console of handheld for my preference. Loved the look and sound of it.
my favorite pet is a Stag, cause my rus surname "Olenev" in english mean "Deer".
so, i can say to my friends like: "dudes, look at me, I'm in the game".
so, if my friends look at me like i'm crazy, and stop talking to me, or something similar - it's their business.
however, I'm in the game.
p.s.: thx for the video
My original playing, back on PC, I just had to go with Panda for my pet. So cute, and so wise. I loved having my Panda following my Berserker around. Quite the pair, they were! Great review, by the way. I am a recent subscriber, but you guys put out some of the best Switch game reviews. Keep it up!
Gotta be the ferret for me. I love them. I had 2 of them before I moved last year. A friend of mine played this game on the PC awhile back and it was great seeing the ferret running around and attacking things. Made me smile everytime. Glad to see it's returning here
Best pet? It’s 2019, a portly unicorn has to be the way to go. He’s adorable and I shall name mine Percy 😁 🦄
The falcon is the my favorite pet, because he loves me. A lot of the other pets fake their admiration toward you. They will play your heart like a fiddle until each one of your strings buckle and break under the abuse. While the falcon, he is always there for you when the chips are down, like that expired bag of shredded cheese you keep in your refrigerator.
Haha, a very good analogy. Glen
Panda , have you ever heard them sneeze ? Well that's all you need to hear while walking through a monster filled dungeon to brighten up your day.
Since it doesn't have to be in the game... i'd love to have Gon from Tekken 3 or... Yoshi! But a fat, round, fluffy unicorn would do just fine as well I guess hehe
On sale right now for 4.99 in the US.
Bargain!
Would love to see kirby as a pet on the switch! How cool would it be if he could vacuum fools and take their powers!
Cat, obviously! On the PC version, I'd always name the cat 'Potato' after my own cat :')
You guys got me playing top downs i used to hate the idea of a game looking like that 🙏
I wouldn’t mind a Don Tonberry from Final Fantasy X. Love that little guy‼️
Being a massive fan of Diablo 2 and knowing the team that went on to create the Torchlight games after leaving Blizzard; I pumped a stupid amount of hours into this game on PC and would probably do the same on the Switch. Matt Uelmen I utterly love as a composer and his style is all over this game. As for favourite pet, well, you just simply have to have a wolf, because having a wolf as a pet will remind you what humanity has done to dogs and also remind us why we should have kept them as wolves and not bred them into Chihuahuas! Haha! Great review boys.
Favorite pet would have to be the new unicorn. They not only added it as a switch exclusive but they made it a giant fat unicorn. You have to love the fat unicorn.
It is a great game. But the fact it doesnt have couch co op, I see no purpose in getting the game, since I prefer playing arpgs on my pc. I know its not the case of most people here, but for me its a no. If they eventually add couch co op, then I will most likely buy it.
The new Nintendo Switch exclusive unicorn pet would have to be my new favorite, because its NEW. Anyways thanks for the review!
It may be a bit traditional, but at the moment I would enjoy a pet hound. Last week I lost my dachshund hound, Stanley. I will miss him forever and it would be a nice little adventure to have him by my side 🐶
I usually prefer the wolf or panther pets, but if I remember right there was a llama or something in TL1? Always liked the inclusion of something different from the norm. Favorite video game pet generally is a bear, though.
The Siwtch exclusive Unicorn is just the best pet with the colorful hair and little potions on the side!
Anxiously awaiting the unlock! I love looter RPGs and this one is one of my favorites. I don't do preorders but I trusted the company doing the port. Thanks for the detailed review.
For the music volume, did you turn it up in the settings? I notice by default it's set lower than other audio volumes
Still locked for you? Its driving me nuts lol
My preferred pet would be Dave, 1 of the Minions in the Minions films. Every now and the Dave starts talking or dancing or singing. At the end of the great finale he and the rest of the Minions perform Y.M.C.A from The Village People as a easter egg hidden in the game.
I like the ferret. The little goggles they put on him crack me up
Mark would be my favourite pet. Picture the treasure goblin in Diablo 3 (but it's Mark with a loot bag!) wearing a SwitchUp official t-shirt scampering toward any dropped loot and giggling, "hee hee!"
Ferret is the best pet. Picked this up for 6 dollars. I had no idea this was on switch. Had it on PC for years. A very fun RPG.
I played Torchlight 1 like crazy on my 360, and play it often even now on Xb1. The game is a really good console dungeon crawler. Even though I've only played the PC demo of TL2, I am not a PC gamer and prefer consoles. As such, I am OVERJOYED that someone brought TL2 to the Switch!! What happened to Runic Games, the original developer? I hope they're all doing well; they made one of my absolute favorite video games of all time (and I've been an avid gamer since the Atari 2600).
A chocobo would be the most awesome pet ever to have in this game.
I love the unicorn pet! It's silly but super cute and funny! xD
I would want a dry bowser/turtle skelly as a pet! It would be a perfect combo of Torchlight and Nintendo goodness!
Obviously, Glen is my favorite pet.
I finished Torchlight 1 with the dog as a pet. Can't go wrong with a dog, they're loyal and sweet.
I really wish Midna (Twilight Princess) would be added as a pet. Always such a fascinating Zelda character to me, and the wolf would fit nicely. Great video!
Bought this on sale for 14 dollars and, wow! It's been a pleasant surprise. I'm really enjoying the challenging bosses and addicting loot rewards. Upgrading your character is also enjoyable. Can't wait for torchlight 3 now.
How did you find TL3?
@@itchydez Honestly saw the bad reviews at launch and skipped it. Started playing Diablo 3 instead.
My favorite pet would've been a fluffy Shiba dog , no enemy will dare to harm it & I'll get the best prices from merchants due to his cuteness.
Also will have a ton of laughs from the free memes I get during our journey together.
My favourite pet would be the 'Chakawary' it seems to be the least used by people I've watched and my friends. It's a fantasy style game and yet everyone seem to go for something traditional, I like to break the norm!! Plus I'm a lizard kinda guy!
Thanks for the opportunity and great review
My favourite pet is the ferret with the goggles, Coz it is the perfect match with the engineer in terms of fashion and style :)
Usually Hawk but Engineer would always get a ferret, nothing like a monocle and a ferret to add some much needed class to those uncouth dungeons.
Favourite pet? Can you imagine a Switchup pet. Our own little Mark and Glen running around reviewing the AI in torchlight. It would be like an easy mode! Your reviews of them would be so good they would feel complimented and they wouldn’t bother attacking! Then you whip out the Go Fishing review and boom! Their heads explode! Keep up the good work guys!!
hahaha it sounds a glorious prospect! Mark
That rainbow Unicorn is cute but the best pet is a pug
A great pet for torchlight II would be a twilight princess inspired wolf! Give him the link hat for good measure
The cat! Just like my cat, it’s always off doing cat business, then shows up just a little after you really need her.
Just I bought it! Love it!!!
Alpaca(Lama) is my favorite pet in Torchlight 2. Her name was Darling as I name most of my pets this way. In ESO I own a camel by the same name. I also own a camel in Conan Exiles but her name is Carmel. I do love Lamas and Camels for some unknown reason but Lamas are way more cute and fluffy and the bangs on the Alpaca are absolutely adorable. Great review on the game and deffinitely I am looking forward to play it on the switch with a controller! Thank you.
My ideal pet would be a family of 7 rabbits, each with a various sized saddlebag for the town trips. As they get injured (assuming the pets can get injured in this game?) this would be visually represented by certain rabbits falling over and being tossed on the backs of the ones still standing. Individual customization would of course be available for each rabbit but everyone would just make them look like the Watership Down guys.
A Blink Dog, from D&D, would be an awesome pet, since it can teleport themselves and other creatures at will and is capable of understanding speech. Actually, a Blink Cat would be better, 'cause cats make you work for their affection.
(Animals with superpowers are awesome.)
Loved these on the PC back in the day. Almost hope they port Fate to the switch as well now.
I think it would be good for your reviews in general if you talked about what its like in handheld compared to docked....some games really excel in handheld and some really dont. I found this one to not be very good in handheld only cos there is alot going on and so the screen is too small. The first game i really noticed what a diffemrec it can make playing docked was Tinykin. I thought that was so so in hamdheld but then when i played it in docked it kinda blew my mind how much better it was!
My favorite pet would either have to be the badger (because of the memes, obviously) or the panda because they're one of my favorites. I love how oblivious pandas can be.
As tribute they should have put Reggie as a pet, just imagine a small little Reggie fighting hordes of Blackclaws, I'd love to see that.
Playing this now, picking it up for around $6 on sale. It’s fun. Only complaint is it’s too dark at times for on the train. Like you can zoom in/out with the R stick.
After playing 20 hours of torchlight 2, had to come back here and say I'm hooked! Simply gaming hack and slash perfection. Only 20 bucks? Bargain
I'm about 32 hours in. Love the abilities I'm opening. Gotta give it to them, fantastic game!
Id have to say the Ferret was my favorite pet. What better to take all my unused loot back to town. If I could have 2 I'd name them Kodo and Podo like from Beastmaster. Anyway, glad the simplified the UI. Great video!
Jeez, the Switch is having a killer year! Yet ANOTHER title I'm going to have to pick up. I loved the first Torchlight, and still haven't played the second one yet, so this is the perfect opportunity.
I like the panda pet the best because in guild wars there were only about 100 panda mini pets, and they were the most sought after by players.
I loved Guild Wars, my characters always had ranger as the 2nd class for the pets. Also loved Torchlight 2 and it's pets lol.
The ferret is the best pet, hands down
Great review. I am sad about the lack of couch co-op too. When I played on the PC back in the day I would always pick the ferret. It was a nice reminder of a pet gone but not forgotten. RIP. Also it was cool to see you guys come up first on a google search for the game review.
This is crazy. They said they wouldn't port Torchlight 2 to consoles when it first came out. But now it's on the Switch. To be fair, they did port the first game onto the 360, and it was an AMAZING experience. If this is anything like that port, it's a must buy for me.
Wolf link would be amazing as a pet in this game
Casually sat doing a watercolour painting whilst listenin to you describe a game I'm crazily excited to play look like a watercolour painting is peak happiness. Amazing video sir! Your descriptions and knowledge always keep my engaged! Thank you for always putting so much effort into your videos ❤
ALSO: DAT PANDA BEAR THO 🐼🐼🐼
And thank you Suzette for always watching and commenting. It’s awesome. Glen
my favorite pet was always a aspider, creepy, deadly and awesome. of coarse i had to use a fish to change it, but i always made sure i found it.
Fair review! The score is just right. TL2 has extreme replay value, glad the port was excellent.
Preordered it for the switch some days back and iam not disappointed - totally worth the 19,99 asked and surely a highlight for every arpg fan on the switch - next Grim Dawn or Diablo 2 Remaster for the switch and iam allover satisfied. :)
Favorite has always been the owl. Felt it fit so well with the Embermage.
From the existing pets my favorite is Ferret. It just looks so cute with goggles and backpack. Perfect pet for an engineer.
But I think that for the Switch version they could make a better job with the exclusive pet. In Rayman Legends they added Mario and Luigi skins. In Torchlight 2 they could add a Gumba pet. With backpack! That would be my favorite :)
Honestly the new rainbow unicorn pet is my favorite, rainbows and unicorns what not to love heh.
I havnt played the game yet, although it looks awesome! (Great review Glen!) But it is a toss up between the Chakawary and the Unicorn. My son and I would enjoy the dinosaur-esk pet and I know my daughter would love the Unicorn! 😆 But my favorite has got to be the Chakawary. The velociraptor is one of my favroites and it looks very inspired by it. Cant be more awesome than beating baddies down and collecting loot with a dinosaur!
So you can play as unicorn with a gunslinger pet now. Splendid.
There are several bugs and missing features. UI bug on Switch where stats descriptions don't display correctly when assigning stat points.
Missing switch between weapon sets option where on PC you can have two sets of weapons on each hand and switch between the two.
Missing pet stats. On PC pet health and status was displayed onscreen but now you have to pause to switch pet behavior. No pet health to be found in menu.
Edit: Oh and on PS4 somebody leveled up from 25 to 100 instantly after killing some monsters. Bugs being reported on Reddit /torchlight
I’d love a baby skeleton king from Diablo 1 as a homage to the original/greats.
I've always used the panther because of L.L. Cool J's "Walking With A Panther". I am so glad I get to play this again. The switch version is so good to me.
Always be yourself. Unless you can be a unicorn, in which case always be a unicorn. This is the wisdom of my daughter’s t-shirt, so I guess it’s going to be a unicorn pet for her!
I think I’d pick the pet badger because I can’t have one irl & they can defend themselves against wolves. This game looks fun, thanks for another good review & recommendation!
Wolf pet for me. Just seems to fit the rpg aspect of the game the best. Particularly when playing as a berserker.
The cat has to be my favorite. If a game has a cat pet I have to have it. I always name it Miso after my own pet. This way, both of us play together. :)
Then your cat is in stardew valley lol. Miso is the default cat name for the little ginger tabby cat you get if you pick cat over dog as the pet and I always leave that name when I play.
That's so cool but actually it's name is Mišo. I usually just write it as Miso.
Favorite pet? Nothing beats that unicorn!
