Hyperion Joycon overview: They are very comfortable, have GYRO, Rumble (standard) and a proper D-Pad. Plus they charge normally on the Switch. Great Joycon.

Thanks for the round-up! Super excited to see what 2024 brings!
Where Blasphemous 2?
Love the variety on this list.
Vernal Edge.. thee game I keep forgetting to get.
Yay, a bonus video!!! 2023 was a really great year for games, my backlog has been growing instead of shrinking. Not to mention there’s a few I’m looking forward to in 2024… I’m always going to have a backlog, aren’t I? 😅
I think Octopath 2 would have done alot better in general if it wasn't release so close to TOTK.
Although a few other games could have done better if they were released at a different time. 2023 has been such a good year for those that enjoy video games.
Octopath Traveler 2 🤩. But first let's finish the og OT first, before starting the newest 😅.
Love bleak sword!
I'm trying to get P4 and P5 on Switch, but I got games to finish first and they're always full-price. Just a bit hard to afford all at once. Cheers! Another great video with great picks
Should do “Best Games To Play if You’re Unemployed”, i.e. have time
For the month of December it was the set of 12 episodes from you guys.
Great video fellas. Staring at the eShop right now, trying to decide what game to play while bridging Xmas and NYE
I didn't know about Bleak Sword (was out of the loop for a while). Glad you have it in this video. Will definitely check it out and buy. Strong year for Nintendo Switch Games. Hogwarts and Mario Wonder should also be here. Arkham and MK 1 could've been here if it weren't for their performance issues during launch.
2023 was a very intending year for games. Some surprising bangers in there
Thanks for another year of great content SwitchUp. I absolutely love this channel and hope it and you two are well in the new year. How can I support the channel directly?
Some great games there! So gutted sea of stars sold out on play Asia 😭
Every month of 2023 is a must have Switch game
Switch has such a great range of games. And so many really amazing ones. Not enough time to play them all
Seeing indies be the top game for several months is a good sign for the health of the video game market
Merry Christmas
The FF pixel remaster allowed me to collect "gold points" with my asian physical. Which has never happened. That means that version is identical to the one they limited released here in the US (and cost less to ship) what on earth was that about? You should very well be able to buy that in a store
Why nobody talks about infinity strash, adventure of daï?( i m not sure if i wrote the title correctly), did anybody from the comments section get it? If so, how is it?
DQM definitely deserves a higher score, but I'm biased and I get where you're coming from with that score.
Somehow I missed the review of the monochrome game, it looks great. Also the fzero 99 is great I don't even like fzero and it's good that risk and reward balance is what makes it awesome
Such a good year for games. Too many good options. I feel like I missed some good ones.
About to start mario wonder and can’t to have my kids play along with me!
I definitely played F Zero 99 longer than I thought I would lol it would just suck me in
Not only the games,even the review feels more Essential..😊😊😊
this was like a bonus 12 days video, nice
everytime i see sea of stars im always just blown away by the visual style 😭
I really wanna play star ocean but I'm gonna have to wait for a sale >.< That's the one game that I'm really interested in from this list. Hope you had lovely Christmas!
Thank you for the extra video!
Mario Wonder was a breath of fresh air that finally broke the mold of the new SMB games. Octopath Traveller 2 I started playing just the day before & having a spectacular time so far!! 🤩
I love starting ro play persona 3 and 4 for the first time and on my switch
I own Persona 4 Golden on 2 handheld systems (switch and ps vita) and have convinced several friends to play it on the go through Xbox cloud. If that doesn't tell you it's one of the best games ever, I dunno what will.
Persona 4 Golden is my go to game if I dont know what to play ❤
So many games going directly to my backlog… 😅
Fantastic overview! Thanks for making it. And nice to see how small indie teams can definitely compete with the big studios when it comes to quality gaming.
Pikmin 4 was my game of the year. Just an amazing experience and I loved every second of it. Enjoyed going back to the older games as well now
PWT those were the days 😂
My stats for the year of Switch playtime came in, 124hrs. That's 2.38hrs per week. For something I thought I enjoyed and spent quite a bit of money on – I think I spend more time watching videos about games than actually playing them. So the library concept to lend everything to people in the community has to happen.
Great list. You guys are the best. Thanks.
Such a great list. I didn’t even remember Octopath II coming out this year, it felt like longer. Octo II is a must buy and it is a crime it was forgotten/left out in the year end awards.
Need them switch games!
Love you guys
