Budget and economy being what it is, I wasn't able to pick up any new release games this year unfortunately. I am thankful however, that there are SwitchUp reviews of these so I can make an informed choice when things get better. Cheers gents!
Also guys a hidden gem called Megaton Musashi is 50% off. Both standard and deluxe edition. If you're a fan of mecha I thought I should just let you know.
Perfect timing my mom gave me some money for Xmas and she was specific that I should spend it on household essentials! Thanks for the giving me a loophole 😈
Out of these I bought Balatro and Core Keeper, both excellent. And then a couple of days ago, I picked up Unicorn Overlord in the sale... what a truly stunning game!
I really have to thank you Mark and Glen, for this wonderful year of daily videos! So much amazing content, you sure did work hard 💪🏼 hope Santa brought you some good gifts 😊❤️
Nine Sols and core keeper! NS also seems somewhat like a successor to Dust: An Elysian Tail. UC is my goty! Love strategy games and this one was so unique in its delivery.
Out of these I picked up Unicorn Overlord and Corekeeper on your recommendation. I'm still in the beginning of Unicorn Overlord and haven't started Corekeeper yet. I'm also thinking of getting Balatro, but then I probably won't have any more time for anything else! ^^;
It's nice to go back and see just how many great games came out this year! Glad to see gems like Unicorn Overlord and Romancing SaGa 2 make the list! 😊👍🏽
I like what you (definitely intentionally...) did with the stereo audio this time, but next time you should put Glen on one ear and Mark on the other for ultimate immersion.
OMG I can’t believe I missed Starwars: Dark Forces. It was a fave of mine when I was a kid but I completely forgot about it until I saw it in this video 😅 Thank you so much for reminding me of a very important childhood game
Might be a bit sacrilegious to say, but I’m so glad they gave you the option in Tomb Raider to change from the tank control system to a more modern fluid one. Made it much less frustrating when you’re jumping from platform to platform!
Your audio seems to be off centre again? PoP is the only game I own here, played a little, really enjoyed it. Would like to try 9 sols but maybe in a year, backlog is massive with 100 hour games 🤦♂️
Unicorn Overlord, Balatro, and Romancing Saga were the ones I got this year. Barely started Saga, but the other two have been a ridiculous blast of enjoyment.😊
Romancing saga, nine of sols, legacy of kain, prince of persia, core keeper.. so many good games this year🤩 If i have to choose one, maybe it's prince of persia for the nostalgia
Unicorn Overlord and SMT5V were the two from this list that I picked up, but both currently in the backlog. Think I'll also be picking up Romancing Saga 2 when it's on sale.
Just picked up Core Keeper off the back of all love shown by both you and the viewers on switch up! I think it’s going to consume so much time - in a good way!
I love that you’re listed such a varied set of titles, some big devs and many small ones. I really enjoyed Prince of Persia, but I feel like I hit the middle and the difficulty spiked. I have to go back and see if I can’t finish it out before the end of the year.
Fyi Unicorn overlord has a generous demo. Personally I couldn't get into it; but if you're on the fence, you can give it a whirl first before dropping some coin.
Unicorn Overlord, Prince of Persia, SMTV: Vengeance and Romancing Saga 2 remake are definitely my faves from that whole list. Haven't finished any of them yet, lol.
Great list, mates! One game for each month. If my backlog could speak, it’d definitely be complaining by now haha Personally, I think it’s amazing that even after seven years, the Switch’s catalog is still as strong as ever! 🎉
Prince of Persia was incredible. I'm a fan of the franchise. I really enjoyed the version that hit the Xbox 360 waaay back. Sands of time was iconic as well. I'd love to see remasters hit the Switch.
Side note: the name Valfaris- Mecha Therion is a clear reference to the (groundbreaking) 1985 metal album "To Mega Therion" by Celtic Frost. Both Valfaris and Slain - Back from Hell are a pair of games (both on Switch) all about metal, especially the soundtracks, which were composed by Curt Victor Bryant, former member of the Swiss band.
Tomb Raider collection (never played the series before) and TMNT Splintered Fate (what an incredible game). I never would have known about the Turtles game if it wasn’t for your channel.
Unicorn Overlord, that game looks incredible and really fun and your reviews on it have been stellar. Really piqued my interest. Will be starting my new year with it I think.
Highest rated gaming channel of 2024? SwitchUp! Amount many great games in this list, Balatro is excellent. I am not a deck building game fan, but was convinced to try it after seeing your videos where you spoke about it. So glad I did, and thank you once again for finding me a game I love. Even got my non gamer fella playing it!
got unicorn overlord, balatro, paper mario, shin megami tensei, and core keeper. all still on my backlog. 😅 planning to get marvel vs capcom so i can have a fighting game, and i'm gonna check valfaris. SwitchUp became my fave switch channel. honest and unbias reviews. happy holidays and looking forward for the next switch videos. stay safe everyone 🎉
I got the Tomb Raider remastered collection (I have nostalgia from playing it on my mom’s PS1 back in the day), and I’ve gotta say the clunky tank controls are so integral to the way the game is designed that it’s hard to imagine playing it in any other way.
Still can’t get over how good Prince of Persia TLC looks on the Switch. Great to see it originally be developed for the system, and then ported to other platforms. Truly a shame the development team was shut down by Ubisoft 😔
Can't believe I played prince of persia that long ago, have several of the others on my backlog am halfway through conscript at the moment, great game as you stated, am looking forward to what 2025 will bring game wise for the switch and beyond another top year coming and look forward to your coverage of the year and the games you add to my backlog...❤❤
Prince of Persia, Unicorn Overlord, Balatro and so on - might not have been a banner year for Nintendo themselves, but still a great year to be a gamer on Switch!
Amazing that, as good as Drova was, it didn't make the list. Ah well, gonna pick up Romancing SaGa 2 remake to add to my jRPG backlog along with Unicorn Overlord.
Agreed. I totally forgot that prince of Persia came out this year. Especially beacuse it goes on good sales already. But it's lucky for people who don't have it.
A really good scoring year. Will definitely wait for a sale price on Turtles and Marvel v Capcom. Played two runs of Balatro and I wasn't convinced, then I said "I'll try once more" and now I'm absolutely hooked. Not been this addicted to a game since Enter the Gungeon.
Star Wars Dark Forces, I loved it at release (big box White Label version tucked away in a drawer). I used to close my eyes and imagine what a Dark Forces 2 might play like. When it was released it was almost as good as my child brain could picture.
Crazy to think how fast a year can just pass by in an instant 😵💫 I remember the wait becoming unbearable for Star Wars: Dark Forces and, more recently, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection!
Picked up quite afew of these games over the last few days due to sales, some really good games on here for sure…really enjoying tomb raider at the minute
My top list would have included She Wants Me Dead, Stardew Valley, Dredge, and BOTW. They may not have come out this year, but they have been my most played this year
I've been toying with the idea of getting a table-top style arcade fight-stick for a while now... I reckon Marvel vs Capcom could be the game that makes it happen! CLASSICS

Got a Switch OLED for Christmas and used your store to get points for a few games and DLC - loved earning “coins” as it felt more economical
I just picked up Romancing Saga after watching your favourite games of the year video. Wow. It’s phenomenal.
I'm finally getting Balatro!
Quiet switch up
Audio is left ear only when using headphones. I just double checked, and other videos are fine.
same
you know how many times I reset earbuds thinking my right one was messed up?
Same even without headphones for me.
Guess I got lucky. Only had my left in lol
Audio left, music right! Embrace stereo 🤣
Absolute ESSENTIAL | HIGHEST RATED Switch Channel of TH-cam 2024!
❤
Channel period for me 🤓😎
Chanel N°5 (the best one), you might say? 😂
@@DylanWatsonSoftware A bit more professional than Chanel 9
I’m unashamed barjan-hunter and rarely buy games for full price when they come out. There was one exception this year: Balatro!
This is the way 🎉
Also guys a hidden gem called Megaton Musashi is 50% off. Both standard and deluxe edition. If you're a fan of mecha I thought I should just let you know.
Your mom
Perfect timing my mom gave me some money for Xmas and she was specific that I should spend it on household essentials! Thanks for the giving me a loophole 😈
Lol😂
Haha!
If you don't leave the house with your switch your golden
😅😅😅
Lol, well said!
Ohhhh this is an awesome idea. Having a great night opening pokemon cards and now a SwitchUp vid! Yay 🎉🎉
Opening Pokémon cards is such a treat, hope you got some good ones!
You guys keep producing! Hope you’re getting some time off over this festive period! Appreciate the content as always
Thanks to you. You made me play astlibra that is in my top 5 this year. Unicorn overlord is incredible and deserved at least a nomination this year.
And just when I needed to be cheered up your video pops up!! 😁☺️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Switch up to cheer me up!
This feels like a 12 days "bonus" episode and I'm here for it. Hope you both are sailing into the new year!
Out of these I bought Balatro and Core Keeper, both excellent. And then a couple of days ago, I picked up Unicorn Overlord in the sale... what a truly stunning game!
Top 3 on this list for sure! I bought Core Keeper but have my eyes on Balastro and Unicorn Overload..
@stevenrivera6464 I've now also bought Romancing Saga 2. Spotted it last night, 3 hours before the sale ended. Any wonder I'm skint!
@@Mystygirl2 the "12 days" has just about doubled my purchases of games for the year... So yeah, same here!
I really have to thank you Mark and Glen, for this wonderful year of daily videos! So much amazing content, you sure did work hard 💪🏼 hope Santa brought you some good gifts 😊❤️
The holiday just keeps getting better an better!
Nine Sols and core keeper! NS also seems somewhat like a successor to Dust: An Elysian Tail. UC is my goty! Love strategy games and this one was so unique in its delivery.
Haven't gotten nine sols yet gonna wait for a sale probably but core keeper is absolutely in my top picks for the year
I hope you two are resting during this holiday season, so much content has been produced! Love watching with my dinner 😊
You never stop! Thanks guys!
Out of these I picked up Unicorn Overlord and Corekeeper on your recommendation. I'm still in the beginning of Unicorn Overlord and haven't started Corekeeper yet. I'm also thinking of getting Balatro, but then I probably won't have any more time for anything else! ^^;

I like what you (definitely intentionally...) did with the stereo audio this time, but next time you should put Glen on one ear and Mark on the other for ultimate immersion.
I didn't pick up quite a few of these shockingly, but I think Prince of Persia is top of my list after all the praise everyone here has given it 🙌🏻
Thanks guys, merry Christmas!
Is this one in Mono lads? Cue Spinal Tap ‘Dobly’ memes 😂
OMG I can’t believe I missed Starwars: Dark Forces. It was a fave of mine when I was a kid but I completely forgot about it until I saw it in this video 😅
Thank you so much for reminding me of a very important childhood game
I found this channel yesterday and I love it ❤ i wish you lots of success
Might be a bit sacrilegious to say, but I’m so glad they gave you the option in Tomb Raider to change from the tank control system to a more modern fluid one. Made it much less frustrating when you’re jumping from platform to platform!
Modern control was severely broken
Love this list. What an incredible year! Looking forward to everything 2025 will bring (new system, great games, and you gents covering it all!).
Your audio seems to be off centre again?
PoP is the only game I own here, played a little, really enjoyed it.
Would like to try 9 sols but maybe in a year, backlog is massive with 100 hour games 🤦♂️
Great essential list. I need to try the Unicorn Overlord demo. Thanks for sharing.
Unicorn Overlord, Balatro, and Romancing Saga were the ones I got this year. Barely started Saga, but the other two have been a ridiculous blast of enjoyment.😊
Love the yearly recap. I picked up Core keeper for my partner and I for Christmas. Can't wait to play
I love the videos. Bit of a weird audio glitch where the narration is only coming out of the left speaker in this vid
Romancing saga, nine of sols, legacy of kain, prince of persia, core keeper.. so many good games this year🤩
If i have to choose one, maybe it's prince of persia for the nostalgia
Unicorn Overlord and SMT5V were the two from this list that I picked up, but both currently in the backlog. Think I'll also be picking up Romancing Saga 2 when it's on sale.
Just picked up Core Keeper off the back of all love shown by both you and the viewers on switch up! I think it’s going to consume so much time - in a good way!

thought this was a bonus 12 days of switchup video for a sec :) but no, I's judt a normal nice video
Great wrap up of the year. I bought Unicorn Overlord and Prince Of Persia yesterday, there are a few more from this video on my wish list.
Side note: the name Valfaris- Mecha Therion is a clear reference to the (groundbreaking) 1985 metal album "To Mega Therion" by Celtic Frost. Both Valfaris and Slain - Back from Hell are a pair of games (both on Switch) all about metal, especially the soundtracks, which were composed by Curt Victor Bryant, former member of the Swiss band.
Thanks for the list! I just purchased Core Keeper recently, and I was hoping to sink some time into that one!
Tomb Raider collection (never played the series before) and TMNT Splintered Fate (what an incredible game). I never would have known about the Turtles game if it wasn’t for your channel.
Wonderful list! Thank you SwitchUp!
Thank you for the years of content. Because of your review I got SO 2nd story R. It is awesome. You guys are the OG’s of switch!
Ironically got back into MTG in November and am playing more card game games on the switch as well as Tetris...... Good video.
So fantastic games this year. Still need to pick up a few you mentioned not to mention finish the ones I started!
Unicorn Overlord, that game looks incredible and really fun and your reviews on it have been stellar. Really piqued my interest. Will be starting my new year with it I think.
You are the best switch channel. Love all your videos
This is the top list of games you can add to the wishlist, as a gift or even just to check it out
Highest rated gaming channel of 2024? SwitchUp!
Amount many great games in this list, Balatro is excellent. I am not a deck building game fan, but was convinced to try it after seeing your videos where you spoke about it. So glad I did, and thank you once again for finding me a game I love. Even got my non gamer fella playing it!
got unicorn overlord, balatro, paper mario, shin megami tensei, and core keeper. all still on my backlog. 😅
planning to get marvel vs capcom so i can have a fighting game, and i'm gonna check valfaris.
SwitchUp became my fave switch channel. honest and unbias reviews.
happy holidays and looking forward for the next switch videos.
stay safe everyone 🎉
I got the Tomb Raider remastered collection (I have nostalgia from playing it on my mom’s PS1 back in the day), and I’ve gotta say the clunky tank controls are so integral to the way the game is designed that it’s hard to imagine playing it in any other way.
Man there were some great games released this year, both old and new. Thanks for bringing us another 12 months of awesome content switchup.
Solid list, unicorn overlord was probably the breakout title of the year for me
Ah yes a Switch Up fix, missed you guys last night.
Thanks lads! Love you too! I currently going through games I want to buy whole watching this 😅
cool format. enjoyed
I really enjoy the recaps, thanks for the content. TMNT looks so good and Valfaris.
Strong final year before a Switch 2 reveal! Let’s close this year out with a bang! And let’s hit 400k for the channel by 2026 😊😊
Crazy to think Prince of Persia even came out this year, damn
Yeah but it’s more like 1 year ago minus 2 weeks
Playing the DLC atm and it's as good as ever!
Another cracking year for the Switch. Thousand Year Door one of the highlights for me this year 🙌🏻
Still can’t get over how good Prince of Persia TLC looks on the Switch. Great to see it originally be developed for the system, and then ported to other platforms. Truly a shame the development team was shut down by Ubisoft 😔
They were relocated by ubisoft not shut down
Hope you had a great Christmas, and got to work on the backlog a little 😁
Can't believe I played prince of persia that long ago, have several of the others on my backlog am halfway through conscript at the moment, great game as you stated, am looking forward to what 2025 will bring game wise for the switch and beyond another top year coming and look forward to your coverage of the year and the games you add to my backlog...❤❤
Great video lads. The switch is so stacked. Wonder whats in store for switch 2
Unicorn Overlord was my favorite game of the year, though it’s possible Balatro has more hours played. Some really awesome games this year!
Prince of Persia, Unicorn Overlord, Balatro and so on - might not have been a banner year for Nintendo themselves, but still a great year to be a gamer on Switch!
Amazing that, as good as Drova was, it didn't make the list. Ah well, gonna pick up Romancing SaGa 2 remake to add to my jRPG backlog along with Unicorn Overlord.
Are yall going to keep the channel name when the next switch comes along? Cuz super switch up would be pretty awesome.
Agreed. I totally forgot that prince of Persia came out this year. Especially beacuse it goes on good sales already. But it's lucky for people who don't have it.
Is it just me when listening with headphones that Mark & Glen are predominantly heard in the left ear channel?
Just got Core keeper!! It looks like imma be busy for awhile
Just ordered a pizza! Perfect timing! Happy almost new years good folks!
7:01 I love Conscript, also known as Death Korps Of Krieg Simulator.
A really good scoring year. Will definitely wait for a sale price on Turtles and Marvel v Capcom. Played two runs of Balatro and I wasn't convinced, then I said "I'll try once more" and now I'm absolutely hooked. Not been this addicted to a game since Enter the Gungeon.
Star Wars Dark Forces, I loved it at release (big box White Label version tucked away in a drawer).
I used to close my eyes and imagine what a Dark Forces 2 might play like. When it was released it was almost as good as my child brain could picture.
Great line up always get the best with switch up
Completed The Thousand Year Door, and I did win at Balatro but I don't know that it can be completed. 😅 But thanks for calling us all out guys!
Most of the highest rated games each month are what I picked up this year thanks to your reviews.
Got a few of these thanks to Switch Up reviews.
Keep going strong in 2025.
I’m just gonna be here pretending we’re still in the 12 days of switchup forevermore lol
My left ear really enjoyed this video, thanks. 😏😆
I hadnt really realized how spoiled for choice we were this year, my goodness. So many good games and this was just the tip of the iceberg
A lot of these games look really good going to catch them on sale eventually
I just received Prince of Persia for Christmas 🎉 I'll ask for Unicorn Overlord for my birthday.
Crazy to think how fast a year can just pass by in an instant 😵💫 I remember the wait becoming unbearable for Star Wars: Dark Forces and, more recently, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection!
Unicorn only issue being our backlog is so true 😅
Picked up quite afew of these games over the last few days due to sales, some really good games on here for sure…really enjoying tomb raider at the minute
Backlog is enormous at this point. And so much more to add in the next few months....
why every latest video you put out in lech channel mono only
My top list would have included She Wants Me Dead, Stardew Valley, Dredge, and BOTW. They may not have come out this year, but they have been my most played this year
I'm really enjoying Core Keeper and Prince of Persia atm.
The backlog issue is no joke and I do not appreciate being reminded of it 😭😂😂😂
I've been toying with the idea of getting a table-top style arcade fight-stick for a while now...
I reckon Marvel vs Capcom could be the game that makes it happen!
CLASSICS
Nothing but net, and no mention of Animal Well or Mario & Luigi Brotherhood. Underrated year for Switch!
Got PoP and now looking at getting Legacy of Kane, however the wishlist is MASSIVE!
