The Switch has some truly GREAT RPGS already and a bunch just around the corner - here are 10 (ish) great choices what do you have your eye on? Mark and Glen
Oh man I need an RPG to get lost in, need an escape. Hopefully I find something in this list but if not, there's the three part series by SwitchUp on RPGs to lose yourself in, that I can revisit. Thanks Gents!
Paper Mario TTYD is an amazing game. Can't wait to replay it. I'll probably also grab the Neptunia Rebirth trilogy. I've wanted to try these games for a long time but didn't really want to play them on Steam.
I feel the fact that Dark Souls II and Mass Effect trilogy never came to Switch is a major ball drop for Nintendo. I would have double dipped the money to play those on the go.
@@rodrigo53 Hard to pick one, but I’m going to say the first Baldur’s Gate. It has been surpassed in the meantime, but it was absolutely revolutionary when it came out.

I believe that this legend of heroes starts a new arc. If it departs enough from the previous ones (not played any), I may try it one day. YsX is missing!!!
Is anyone familiar with the synth music playing in the background at 7:24- I'm not sure if it's non-copyright music here on YT, but I'd love to know if it's a song I can access somewhere.
8:09 that sounded more like the theme song for VR troopers, than it did the song virtual insanity lmao also i want to point out, from what i can find, the july 25th date for reynatis is japan only
The story of Star Ocean Second Story R has been pure excitement and exhilarating, it was like watching a top tier movie, but even better, being in the movie!l (world) I havn’t completed it yet but so far it’s been amazing and so enjoyable, from traversing in the open world, to the breathtaking soundtrack (one of the best I’ve heard so far i any RPG), to the special arts skills and talents, the battles play well and the visuals look beautiful too. After Star Ocean, I have Octopath Traveller 2 and Chained Echos lined up, but I’m not really in any rush to finish Star Ocean SSR. I also still have to finish Secret (and Legend)Of Mana, + Chrono Cross😊 but I’m feeling the new SAGA Game might be added to the list. Cheers Guys, seee yaaaa!
Reynatis is definitely an eye catcher that I wasn't aware of. Good eye! How about a best souls-like on switch list? I'm not sure if there is enough but if anyone can fill out that list it would be you guys! If you havent done it already, but i can't remember there being one.
Hundred Heroes! Saga ....Paper Mario.. Legend of Heroes.. I am liking everything on this video. Dont know if they all will run well on Switch but I pick them up on something.
I thank Suikoden for me finding Trails.. It was an online recommendation for fans of that series.. I think the trick is to find like 3-5 rpg devs you really like and stick with them.. You’ll have plenty of stuff to play
This is probably my most anticipated RPG for 2024... hopefully 2024. My only worry is that it runs like ass on the Switch and I may have to opt for a different console release, because to me the Ys series has always felt most at home on a handheld console.
Ys X is the only highlight for me this year. In fact. I am playing Ys 1 again...on my Master System. The Switch version I wanted happens to be a joke. It's the worst version available. Ys VIII was fantastic! Played it 3 times through. May do a 4th
A sequel to Kuro no Kiseki (Trails through daybreak) was announced for Switch too and it's coming out in Japan, July 25. Although, knowing how it goes with Trails series, we can expect Western release in 2026...
It seems like there's enough new content in vengeance for me to not regret starting my copy of orginal smt v. I still am a bit unhappy with the whole rerelease pattern that atlus seems to enjoy however.
Thank you for updating me on on the upcoming games on the Switch. I truly wished Square Enix would say when Dragon Quest 3 2D HD remake would release. That Raynatis looking pretty good though lol.
I'm looking forward to finishing up last yrs RPG bangers before I get too hyped for this yrs. But I'm still interested in Sand Land and Hades 2 might get an EA release soonish.
I’ll be picking Hundred Heroes on Ps5. Can’t seem to find the physical version for the switch here. Reynatis looks pretty impressive so far so I’ll be looking forward to it but who could forget Mario! That’s locked it!
Love me a good RPG. I just wish I had the time to actually play them! Still, Paper Mario, Reynatis and Decapolice are the games I'm really looking forward to. Although Saga Emerald Beyond does look good, I'm not too sure about the branching paths. I hardly have time to do one playthrough with an RPG, and you're asking me to do multiple ones if I want to see what the game truly has to offer?!
Was hoping this year to be a quiet year for switch so i can work on my backlog but there's so many neat rpg games coming out this year to eat up my time 😳
I don't really understand de Shin Megami game: I own a copy of SMV, but is this something completely different? Or is the Vengeance one the original + extra's?
great vid gents, rpgs are my favorite genre, for the majority of these i want to see the reviews to find out how they are, thousand year door however is a must buy for me, i never beat it on gamecube but i will this go around !
Sent my copy of SMT5 to CEX just last week in prep for the Vengeance redo. Best JRPG on Switch that isn't Persona 5 Royal in my opinion. Hope they've squeezed out a bit of extra performance from the switch for it
I find this Emerald Saga game interesting. SMT Vengeance is a must buy for me,definitely getting it and beating the sh$t out of it I'm a huge SMT fan!I only hope to find a physical copy,still fuming not able to get my hands on special edition!Also legend of heroes great series, same goes for Ys!Damn and I thought that was for switch 😂
5:49 maybe there aren’t 400 Trails games but it definitely will take over 400+ hours to play them all, christ. Unfortunately it’s very much a series you can’t play unless you started with the first and we don’t even have the first two of Trails on Switch at all, let alone the first in the series.
Not including Cat Quest III in this list is a disappointing oversight. I'm not mad, though. I'm assuming that you'll do a full review when it comes out, so I'll be looking forward to that.
@@SwitchUpYt Oh...I must have misheard you. I thought you said "few" months. You had mentioned one or two that are releasing in July...but CQ3 is August 8. My bad!
I am looking forward to a lot of these, Shin Megami Vengeance in particular, but I'm incredibly disappointed because it looks like you have to buy the entire game again to play the new Vengeance story path. I won't be playing it because I can't afford to shell out for two copies of the same game, especially when they're AAA expensive. I'm blown away that they didn't make this a paid DLC for people who already own the game.
I hate that one of my favourite game genres is rpgs because I feel like there's a hydra constantly sprouting new rpgs I want to play. But I'm an adult with a full time job and two kids and a wife. There isn't enough time! Everyone, stop making games for the next 5 years so I can catch up!
I feel like the only rpg who are fast pace combat are rogue like or asymetrical or metroidvanias side scrollers....i m a bit tired of all those turn base combat jrpgs....🤷♀️
The Switch has some truly GREAT RPGS already and a bunch just around the corner - here are 10 (ish) great choices what do you have your eye on? Mark and Glen
Eiyuden, Paper Mario, Reynatis, and Ys 10 for me.
Been looking forward to Decapolice since it was first announced
Yessss. I'm SO hyped for it. Deffo my kind of game
Oh i didnt know saga was coming out so soon! Downloading the demo now! Reynatis looks interesting as well.
Oh man I need an RPG to get lost in, need an escape. Hopefully I find something in this list but if not, there's the three part series by SwitchUp on RPGs to lose yourself in, that I can revisit. Thanks Gents!
The Trails game is set in a region that's only been mentioned in the earlier games, so it could be a good starting place for new players.
A few weeks ago I discovered the Ys series, I've been playing it, already completed part I and II and currently playing Origen on my switch
Paper Mario TTYD is an amazing game. Can't wait to replay it. I'll probably also grab the Neptunia Rebirth trilogy. I've wanted to try these games for a long time but didn't really want to play them on Steam.
Decapolice and Reynatis look really good. I'll keep an eye out for them.
Thanks, guys.
Thanks guys I didn’t know about decapolice!!! I love level 5 so I’ll be looking out for this one thanks to you❤
I feel the fact that Dark Souls II and Mass Effect trilogy never came to Switch is a major ball drop for Nintendo. I would have double dipped the money to play those on the go.
Didn't think Nintendo made those.
Nothing like a good RPG, still my favourite genre after all these decades! Let’s see what’s coming 😊
Getting older has made me appreciate rpgs a lot more than I did ages ago.
@@rodrigo53 Hard to pick one, but I’m going to say the first Baldur’s Gate. It has been surpassed in the meantime, but it was absolutely revolutionary when it came out.

YsX is missing!!!
It’s been a while since I’ve pre-ordered a game. Looks like I’ll be planning on getting Paper Mario
I had not heard of Reynatis before but boy that looks incredible!!! Now I may need to research more about this game! Thanks SU!🎉
Decapolice, Paper Mario, Legend of Heroes although I've got a long way to go before being caught up. Thanks for the video.
Is anyone familiar with the synth music playing in the background at 7:24- I'm not sure if it's non-copyright music here on YT, but I'd love to know if it's a song I can access somewhere.

also i want to point out, from what i can find, the july 25th date for reynatis is japan only
I will never have enough rpgs. Perfect video 😊😊
Decapolice looks fantastic, I can’t wait. Hoping for a release date soon, and I’m definitely waiting for a physical copy.
Realy looking foward to play Reynatis ❤💙

Waiting for my Eiyuden kickstarter physical. Cant bloody wait.
There was an arcade game called Kangaroo that came out in 1982, so a little before Streets of Rage 3.
Hundred Heroes! Saga ....Paper Mario.. Legend of Heroes.. I am liking everything on this video. Dont know if they all will run well on Switch but I pick them up on something.
Bet Mark's pretty hyped for Kingdom Come 2!
I still haven't played the original, but it's on my wishlist... looks great
I'm beyond hyped and it's this year as well so likely a Christmas release! 💕
legend of heroes is my favourite series of all time 😢❤. its honestly wonderful!
I thank Suikoden for me finding Trails.. It was an online recommendation for fans of that series.. I think the trick is to find like 3-5 rpg devs you really like and stick with them.. You’ll have plenty of stuff to play
YS X, YS X, YS X! I mean western release.
This is probably my most anticipated RPG for 2024... hopefully 2024. My only worry is that it runs like ass on the Switch and I may have to opt for a different console release, because to me the Ys series has always felt most at home on a handheld console.
@@Estoriumthe demo on the Japanese e-shop ran really well for me on the switch, I feel like they optimized it a lot better than Ys IX
@@Estorium Yeah saw longer videos from J switch release and it not looks too good :(
Glorious! Mark
Ys X is the only highlight for me this year. In fact. I am playing Ys 1 again...on my Master System. The Switch version I wanted happens to be a joke. It's the worst version available. Ys VIII was fantastic! Played it 3 times through. May do a 4th

So sad. Still no word on Suikoden 1 & 2 remasters. They've been talking about that for what seems like 2 years now.
Sea of Stars physical comes later this month!
Ys X: Nordics and Fantasy Life i are the ones I'm most looking forward to, followed by Paper Mario, Eiyuden Chronicles and Decapolice.
It seems like there's enough new content in vengeance for me to not regret starting my copy of orginal smt v. I still am a bit unhappy with the whole rerelease pattern that atlus seems to enjoy however.

Really hoping Reynatis is good, that aesthetic is my jam
I have never tried a Paper Mario game and I'm looking forward to Thousand-Year Door. I know it's beloved so I'm hoping I love it too.
Reynatis looks…..really good haha haven’t seen it before. Super excited for paper Mario and daybreak
Yeah it looks amazing! Mark
can't wait for Decapolice
You guys should do a big updated video on best switch RPG’s
Definitely! Mark
Isn’t Reynatis due for October?
The writing on Thousand Year door is VERY good, best game in the series by far
I was going to say you missed Fantazio but realised it’s a Q2 release video 😂
Update for the Neptunia Rebirth Trilogy, they just got delayed indefinitely in the west.
I’ll be picking Hundred Heroes on Ps5.
Can’t seem to find the physical version for the switch here.
Reynatis looks pretty impressive so far so I’ll be looking forward to it but who could forget Mario!
That’s locked it!
Definitely getting Eiyuden Chronicle. Hopefully it’ll scratch my Suikoden itch (if not I’ll go see a doctor)
Love me a good RPG. I just wish I had the time to actually play them! Still, Paper Mario, Reynatis and Decapolice are the games I'm really looking forward to.

Decapolice looks really cool!
Woooohooo🎉 I love RPGs and JRPGs! Keep this series going!
I want to play Decopolis! Looks awesome!
There's a kangaroo in Zelda Oracles of Seasons too!
Punchy? 🦘
Was hoping this year to be a quiet year for switch so i can work on my backlog but there's so many neat rpg games coming out this year to eat up my time 😳
Eiyuden chronicles had me at Buster sword wielding kangaroo just like Mark
Reynatis comes out right next to my birthday. And I think it's neededdddd
Can't believe you forgot to mention One Piece Odyssey, Ys X Nordics and Tokyo Xanadu Ex+ all of which are coming out on Switch this summer as well.
Wow Decapolice looks great!
RPG's are my favourite games.I'll pick one up from the selection.
Reynatis is still a game mabe by Furyu, so I will wait for reviews lol, but who knows. 😁
I don't really understand de Shin Megami game: I own a copy of SMV, but is this something completely different? Or is the Vengeance one the original + extra's?
Original +extras
@@JULR0W So buying the first one wasn't a good idee 🤔
@@tfannisit's like with persona 5 and p5 royal
One Piece Odyssey will be releasing on Switch on July 26th
These are all fantastic but I’m dreaming about the Suikoden I and II remaster…will it ever come?
4:30 now if they also had the idea or remaking the Mario and Luigi games but naah it ain't happening
Now this is my LIST! Love it.
great vid gents, rpgs are my favorite genre, for the majority of these i want to see the reviews to find out how they are, thousand year door however is a must buy for me, i never beat it on gamecube but i will this go around !
Sent my copy of SMT5 to CEX just last week in prep for the Vengeance redo. Best JRPG on Switch that isn't Persona 5 Royal in my opinion. Hope they've squeezed out a bit of extra performance from the switch for it
A lot of these look stellar
Totally agree that Shin Megami Tensei V is almost as good as Bravely Default 2, Amazing we get Vengeance now and maybe upcomming Bravely Default 3 :D
Great Selection
I'm most looking forward to SMTV again and Decapolice.
To be honest aside from Eiyuuden Chronicle, nothing else catches my fancy...
Fair play mate
I can’t believe they missed Ys X. Clearly, the best game coming to Switch in 2024.
What is that thumbnail from? I saw a maid with a gun, and it got my attention.
I find this Emerald Saga game interesting. SMT Vengeance is a must buy for me,definitely getting it and beating the sh$t out of it I'm a huge SMT fan!I only hope to find a physical copy,still fuming not able to get my hands on special edition!Also legend of heroes great series, same goes for Ys!Damn and I thought that was for switch 😂
Not a JRPG fan but thanks for the hard work!
Thank you mate
You forgot one piece odyssey deluxe will release to switch on July 26
5:49 maybe there aren’t 400 Trails games but it definitely will take over 400+ hours to play them all, christ. Unfortunately it’s very much a series you can’t play unless you started with the first and we don’t even have the first two of Trails on Switch at all, let alone the first in the series.
Still waiting on Penny Blood and Metaphor
Eiyuden and paper mario releasing in the same week is really bad for me I really don't know which one to start first.
you forgot to mention Suikoden 1&2
Aw nothing on this one for me. Hopefully the next one!
A video after my heart...and my wallet
Hahaha
One piece odyssey is coming out too can’t wait for all these rpgs
Not including Cat Quest III in this list is a disappointing oversight. I'm not mad, though. I'm assuming that you'll do a full review when it comes out, so I'll be looking forward to that.
Is that out in the next two months?!! Mark
@@SwitchUpYt Oh...I must have misheard you. I thought you said "few" months. You had mentioned one or two that are releasing in July...but CQ3 is August 8. My bad!
I thought Decapolice was pushed to 2025?
Vengeance better be DLC for people who own SMT V already :(
Lack of Ys X: Nordics is disappointing. The Ys games are easily some of tbe best JRPGs out there.
I just want my fantasy life 2.
I am looking forward to a lot of these, Shin Megami Vengeance in particular, but I'm incredibly disappointed because it looks like you have to buy the entire game again to play the new Vengeance story path.

You know, I’m still waiting on that kingdom come deliverance game (you were going to send me 😉)
Why are all these RPGs Japanese
If you'd ask me personally, I think they all won't hold a candle compared to Unicorn Overlord.
I’m sad eiyuden got such bad reviews. I was so excited but it discouraged me from buying it
I hate that one of my favourite game genres is rpgs because I feel like there's a hydra constantly sprouting new rpgs I want to play. But I'm an adult with a full time job and two kids and a wife. There isn't enough time! Everyone, stop making games for the next 5 years so I can catch up!
More ways to not ‘adult’! Whoop!
Oh brother, my wallet.
Lots of jrpgs. My poor wallet. 😅
Same! Mark
I feel like the only rpg who are fast pace combat are rogue like or asymetrical or metroidvanias side scrollers....i m a bit tired of all those turn base combat jrpgs....🤷♀️
Not my genre but let's gooooo 😃
Thank you Mr Savaloy
Do forget suikoden 1 and2 the best games form the ps one 😅😅😅😅
You mean jrpgs
Ys x!!!
