Is it too early for a Switch Hidden Gems video? Do you want to see more videos like this?
MetalJesusRocks not at all. It’s difficult to sift through the eshop in its current state.
Yes, MORE please ;)
Please more of these!! I waited for a new one of your hidden gems for switch, it’s so much on the e shop now. I feel so lost sometimes. And hate these all the same we all know top 10 lists. Yours are really really well made and you picked always something I like to try immediately. Nice explanation and also nice team!! Keep up MetalJesusRocks!! You guys are so awesome!! And now with the switch we can’t be happier but it’s so much and overwhelming yeah 🤪🤘
MetalJesusRocks u shouldn't miss out on FE !! one hell of a cute little beautiful game!! :D check it out the gameplay ist really unique didn't see any other game like this so well
not at all, keep them coming.
Can we get a 2nd hidden gems for switch video? It’s been a while since the first, would love to see some of your recommendations after having played more!
Right? He didn't mention even one obscure game that I've seen while browsing.
Now it's been a while since the first lol
Hardcore Xbox gamer never thought I'd get another console but so glad I got the switch. If you're on the fence... Trust me get it
Couldn't agree more! I've got Xbone, PS4 and PC but I play my Switch so much more than them 😂 I had to get myself one since the first one was for my son and I wanted to play it too, and now my wife says she needs one 😅
A PS4...trust me...get it...lol...but the Switch is nice too...
Still feel that way all they did was port it should be called nintendo port cause its all ports and its portable
A few hidden gems I like.
- Blossom Tales. The title turned me off quite a lot, but then I actually played it. In short, this is Legend of Zelda: A Link to the past, as told by a grandfather to his two granddaughters. The story is obviously different, but the gameplay is LoZ through and through, and the humor is spot on for the most part. Highly recommended for fans of Zelda.
- The Mummy Demastered. Can't recommend this one enough. Yes, it's based on the movie... sort of, but the story is all new, and you play as a random soldier rather than Tom Cruise. Or soldiers, as when you die, your corpse wakes up as a machinegun wielding zombie. Oh, and it's Metrovania all the way. From the people behind Shantae. What more do you really need to know?
- Cat Quest. Like Blossom Tales, the title can be a major turn-off for some, me included. But it's actually a pretty good game, with tons of great humor (at least if you like puns...), and the gameplay solid.
- Atelier Lydie and Suelle. Two girls live in a small town and wants to be great alchemists. So... they try to become better alchemists. That's the story. It's cute, very relaxed and has ton of humor (common for most games on the list, I know...), and is a very nice break from all the hardcore monster hunting, army killing and world saving we tend to do.
- Nights of Azure 2. From the people who made Atelier comes a fun game where you pretty much hack and slash your way through the levels, while making sure you level up, do side quest and don't let the time run out. A rather fun, if weird game. The "timer on every chapter" can be a turn-off, but it's not as bad as it sounds, and the rest of the game makes up for it.
- Dragon Quest Builders. Shouldn't be a hidden gem by any means, but worth mentioning anyway. The world is destroyed, so a legendary builder (you) wakes up from a deep sleep and starts to restore the world again, building one town at a time. Very simple combat and building mechanics, but very addictive and fun.
Wulverblade is a pretty solid Switch beat-em-up game in a similar vein to Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, etc. - with the fun twist that it's set in Rome-conquered Britain! There's a lot of neat historical info, and the team did a couple tours of the area the game's inspired by to make sure it was as accurate as possible. I reviewed it back when it came out, it's surprisingly meaty and pretty fun, even more so if you have a buddy to play with!
The Golden Bolt's Game Reviews this! Wulverblade is crazy good and totally underrated.
I love Wulverblade, it really needs more love.
The Golden Bolt's Game Reviews Omg, you just made my day. I've been looking for a good Final Fight and Streets of Rage clone for a while now. I was looking into getting Raging Justice but it just didn't look all that great from the TH-cam videos of people playing it. Will definitely check out Wulverblade.
If you're gonna pick it up, take note of these two things before you do! These are my only two significant problems with the game, and one of them may have been fixed since it went multiplatform for all I know: First, the game advertises "global" leaderboards, but all leaderboards were local at the time I reviewed the game (a few weeks after it hit Switch); second, the weapons are implied to be unique, but they generally do the same damage for their class (light or heavy). That's not a big deal, but the way the game sets them up makes you think they'll have slightly tweaked stats and stuff, so I'm just mentioning this so you don't get your hopes up. Beyond that, it's a very solid game, probably in the top few beat-em-ups on Switch if not the number one outright!
The Golden Bolt's Game Reviews The biggest jssue I had were the load times. Some of the worst on the Switch. Still a blast, but prepare to make a sandwich between levels.
Feel free to make more of these Switch videos! I need more eshop games :)
Justin Soong 9 parchments is my favorite hidden gem.
Rogue Aces is a ton of fun on the Switch - reminds me a lot of Wings of Fury from the Apple II.
Glad you talked about Earthlock festival of magic. I got the ps4 physical version and I think we got these updated version as well.
REGGGGIE!
REGGGGIE???
Reggie!!! Check out Gal Gunvolt on the Vita or Mighty Gunvolt Burst on the Switch (same game). Great 8bit style game that plays like the Mega Man series (devs worked on Mega Man 9 and 10).
Reggie is that true for the digital version too, that’s the one I have and I’ve been saving it for a rainy day hope it’s still good!
Is it any good? Currently playing Xenoblade, next rpg will be Octopath. The characters reminded me of Beyond Good & Evil. At least the trailer he showed here
Glad Breakforcist Battle made the list. I enjoyed it more than I should. Love the music!
John Riggs: RIGG'd Games me and my brother both like pancapu. We saw that on your channel.
It's funny to read your comments with the "John Riggs" voice,by the way Breakforcist looks amazing.
I bought 'Sky Force: Reloaded' on the strength of MJR's enthusiasm and it's a great game!
Ive added a few of these to my watch list for later thankyou Skies of Fury DX, Mantis Burn Racing, Sky Force Reloaded, Toki Tori, Aqua Kitty UDX look interesting.
Hey Metal Jesus, thanks for the great content! Also, thank you for suggesting Sky Force! One of the best Shmups I have ever played!
I recommend these Switch games as well.
Knight Terrors
Blossom Tales
Mighty Gunvolt Burst
Blaster Master Zero
Battle Chef Brigade
Wulverblade
Deemo
Golf Story
Fast RMX
Celeste
Kaiser499 I've just 'finished' blossom tales, loved every minute! Waiting for gunvolt to come up in a decent sale to pick up, seems pricey to me at full price
Plus Kamiko, Steamworld Dig 2, Oceanhorn: Monster of the Uncharted Seas, Night in the Woods, Snipperclips, Oxenfree, and Graceful Explosion Machine.
Golf Story is so good.
Blaster Master Zero was a great retro throwback. That first level music.
darthlobster Steamworld Dig 2 is amazing.
Another hidden gem I recommend is Battle Chef Brigade.
It's a mix of 2D platformer and match 3 games, and the artstyle is full of life and absolutely gorgeous.
For how many games I currently have for my switch, I’m honestly shocked that I haven’t played a single one of these! I know it’s a “hidden gems” list but nearly every other similar video I usually own at least half of the games. It’s quite refreshing. I’ll definitely be checking some of these games out. Thanks!
Thanks for these tips, especially Sky Force Reloaded is making me happy. No chance that I would have found that without this video. Thanks!
Thought it might be early for Switch hidden gems but I'll have to dig into some of these
Just got sky force reloaded , thanks for the great recommendation 👌
Even though Ive heard it a billion times already, I thoroughly enjoyed the intro music! It was mixed very well!
Metal Jesus is such a nice guy, I can honestly watch you all day just talking about random stuff.
You always make them sound so interesting. Definitely getting a few of these.
Mantis Burn Racing reminds me of Ignition. that was a fun top down racing game :D
All these games look incredibly fun! Thanks for sharing these, I'm glad to see something that looks like a great dog fighting game!
Hidden gems galore! Great to see this Brother. Looking forward to more!
Skies of Fury looks awesome!
This was a great video and shows these games better than the eshop trailers. Sold me on a couple that I looked over before!
Super happy i stompled upon your channel randomly. Sky Force Reloaded is a blast. Great video and thanks for the recommandation :)
Your channel is great for me to get around what games to get for my Switch, I've made a couple of wrong choices with games that weren't worth the price for me but I usually trust your taste, you know your gaming :P
Earthlock looks gorgeous! Kind of reminds me of some nice classic PS1 JRPG’s
It is! I bought it the other day. For just 20 bucks, you get the old FF9 experience all over again, with character progression similiar to FFX-1 if you're familiar with those games. However, the combat system is a lot smarter since then. :)
I'm skeptical since most JRPG's these days are too easy and childish with bare bones story and cringey dialog.
Great video, I look forward to seeing more Switch hidden gems videos in the future!
Ahhh. This list is so refreshing. Im excited to try some of these games!!
Cant believe I saw you at my store! Great content as always I'll see you whenever you come in!
Skies of fury looks pretty sweet, may check that out
SkyRogue has better gameplay and awesome co-op campaign
Reminds me of Crimson Skies
If it had Online play similar to War Thunder would be cool
@@upyoursenator just wanted to say this!!
Golf Story is the most hidden gem videogame of all time. You should check it out Jason.
Toki Tori was my #1 favorite WiiWare title. I’m so glad it came to Switch.
Thank you so much for this video. I just bought my Switch and I'm looking for games like those :)
Mantis Burn is cool, a la Motorstorm RC, and I really enjoy it, but the online play doesn't usually have any open matches that I've ever seen, and I'm on the Pro level 2 I think.....does anyone else notice that online play is usually empty?!?!?
Hey, we have a Discord which will help you connect with other players for online races > discordapp.com/invite/VooFoo
Perfect timing. I got my Switch two days ago.
Emerald.Black Three words. Enter. The. Gungeon.
Yea ive only had mine for a week.
I've been following you for a while and never commented before, but I wanted to say I always look forward to your videos! You make great content and you're a super nice guy! Keep it up! :)
This is the list I have been looking for, great job.
These vids are dangerous for my wallet man, thank tho, copped a few titles! Great work as usual!
You have to mention Floor Kids (break dancing rhythm game). That game deserves so much more attention. It was a very successfully accomplished passion project that is a blast to play with friends.
Josh Rafail yeah, if when I finally buy a Switch I want Kid Koala sounds to inspire me to play. I heard that game is short af tho. Given budget is limited I hope I can still buy physical and support that studio for a much deeper sequel.
Josh Rafail .
Playing Earthlock on the Switch now and it feels really polished and well made. Well worth the money for sure if you like RPG's!
Happy Friday Jason...I sold my Nintendo Switch, let's see if I regret it after this video. Loved the games I played!
Night in the Woods. Played it on Steam. Still can't believe how good it was. Cute widdle cartoon animals with the most real problems and dialogue you've ever seen. Add an amazing soundtrack, and it's one of the best games I've played in years. I'm on like playthrough 5 or 6 and I'm still finding things I missed.
Love the content
Thanks so much!
I just got the switch I couldn’t find the hidden golf game everybody was talking about
Are you referring to Golf Story?
+Willy Rosado It's called golf story
Mantis burn racing reminds me of a new RC pro am. Love hidden gems like this.
Thanks! we love that game > discordapp.com/invite/VooFoo
I do not have an Switch, but it was good I watched this Video, I played Sky Force Reloaded almost all weekend on my Xbox! Totally addicted! I want more games like that! The last time I was this into a SHMUP, must have been when I played Tyrian! 20+ years ago! I wonder if Tyrian is still as good.
Skies of Fury DX looks pretty cool.. i need to check that out. I don't think Sky Force is hidden but it is a gem.
Hydraulic Press Channel intro music playing in the beginning
Yeah, we all share a common TH-cam music library that won't trigger a copyright strike.
FINALLY! Someone talks about Sky Force Reloaded! :D
Been playing Skies of Fury lately myself and it’s so fun to just play. Trying to beat all the challenges and unlock all the skins and reticles have been a nice motivator.
This video just cost me a lot of money.
Lon.TV .

Will you be doing a Xbox one hidden gems, or a buying guide episode anytime soon??
Joost Memorial lol what?
N-Gage hidden gems was really killer dude-bro
There are Xbox One hidden gems? Lol, there's barely any Xbox games that aren't on every other platform including a smart phone, let alone anything that's "hidden", Halo 13 is hardly hidden, nor is Forza 28.
systematik lol does it matter?? The "hidden gems" metal jesus shared for the switch aren't exclusives either...............
So your point being what again?
The exclusive games on Xbox one are most definitely hidden
After your last hidden gems Switch video, I picked up Knight Terror and I love it.
At the crazy rate the switch shop is getting games i cant keep up! Videos like this are awesome. Thank you MetalJesus! At least two of those i plan to pick up now. \m/
Bu..bu.. But, I thought the Switch had no games :)
Getting Tropical Freeze today!
Same here never had a Wii u. I'm fucking stoked
thats the 1st game i want once i get a switch
waiting on a price drop for it but that will be awhile.
Saito86 I'd say that's probably the best thing to do though for a true price drop considering how almost all switch games have held their value at $60 might be best to check Craigslist get it pre-owned or wait for a gamestop sale.
I haven't really even played the switch yet, so this is a fun video.
Night in the Woods is so great. An awesome narrative driven experience unlike any other game I have ever played.
Isn't the whole purpose of grinding to become more powerful...?
....depends on what kind of "grinding" we are talking about ;) #Giggity
Always willing to eat up Switch recommendations. I was on the fence about getting Skies of Fury, but I'm most definitely sold on it now, so thanks! However, in regards to the Kona section...let's all agree to kill the term "walking-simulator" once and for all! It's super reductive.
Love the look of Earthlock, I'll have to check that out. And after getting a physical version of Sky Force Anniversary, I'm hoping for a physical run of Sky Force Reloaded as well!
I ended up buying two of these games because of this video and already had three others.
can't believe it took 20 years to get the sequel of Mario 64, never mind the best Zelda game of all time, god bless the Nintendo Switch, with everyone doubting Nintendo it rose from the ashes like a Phoenix
Ross Robertson you know that sunshine and galaxy exist right?
you know we already have had the best zelda and it's called Link's Awakening, right?
+Tim Johnson yup, played em and they dont measure up
+aquacamel which one is that? the game boy one? DX? yes that one is great, loved it as a kid and finally beat it on my 3DS download, link between worlds was pretty good too, minish cap is a great top down Zelda as well
imo odyssey is the worst of the 4(5) followed by 64 but whatever suits you ;)
Kind of early to do a Hidden Gems, don't you think MetalJesus?
There's plenty of people that say the Swich has no games O;
Exactly
Almost 1000 games now on Switch. Time to highlight some that people may not know about.
Thanks for showcasing these games. Hope you do another Switch Hidden Gems video.
I just started Darkest Dungeon, and I'm digging it! I can tell it's going to be a good run with that game. It's got a planning phase similar to Ironcast, but also deep RPG elements and battles, and a few survival elements as well. The controls can be a little overwhelming at times, but all in all, this game has me gripped doing battle after battle!
hidden gems on a new console already?
Maruko Chan 99 exactly
Maruko Chan 99 yep I’ve never heard of any of these and I’ve owned a Switch since day one
There are currently 1030 games on Switch. Are you familiar with all of them? Hopefully this video helps expose some of the lesser known games.
MetalJesusRocks holy shit it's been a year and already that many games?
my little brother would probably enjoy these
Yeah none of these games are for me, still waiting on the game that blows my mind and makes me buy a switch . Thanks for the video MJR! Always appreciate the effort.
What blows your mind? xF
None of Nintendo's first party games look amazing? lol
Game Opinions You know there are people who looks for content in games and not the damn graphics. A game without a heart and soul is just another Call of Battleduty Fieldfront.
Game Opinions for me , No. I grew out of Mario. I only have interest in playing the classic ones I played as a kid. Have no interest in playing zelda. The art style in BOTW looks ugly to me. There would have to be some exclusive survival horror game that's good enough for me to get a switch. Same as I bought a gamecube, at the time resident evil 4 was an exclusive and I bought it then
Skyrim?
kingkold
Blossom Tales! A very charming Zelda-inspired game with quaint pixel-art and a sort of self-aware storyline.
Dude I love your videos... it's never too soon for some Metal Jesus enthusiasm... keep them coming please!
I’m still not sold on the Switch. Now with DK Tropical Freeze, I’m getting there though. I’ll probably wait for Yo-kai Watch 4, at least if they release 3 and Busters on the 3ds first. Not that anyone was asking 😂
Speedmarx haha this is the first time on earth the words "Yokai watch would really tip the scale on getting a switch" have been said.
Eh, I bought the Switch solely for Breath of the Wild...do not own a single other game for it...still worth it
clelvis225 same here
You could also try Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It's very JRPG-ish compared to the first one (I never played X); but if you like Yokai Watch because of collecting Yokai, you miiight like XB2 as well.
Frank C I’m going to get Mario eventually
The best “hidden gem” I’ve played has been “Golf Story”, not one for gold games usually, but few games have provided me with such a good time as that one! XD
thanks for this video! earthlock looks awesome, i can't say i've played it before and hadn't even heard of it, so it's definitely on my potential buy list. breakforcist battle looks awesome too, great art style!
also just want to say that i feel like these eshop hidden gems can help combat the idea that these types of videos hurt the market by raising prices. (not my mentality personally but i know it's a criticism of hidden gems videos. but i just grabbed airblade for the ps2 thanks to your other video so i'm grateful for good suggestions of hidden gems that are still low in price!)
if anything, these games will be discounted at some point in the future and are accessible to people for years, as long as they can get an eshop card which are widely available.
sorry for rambling lol, great video! i hope you make more of these, i'm always looking for more games for the switch!
Super Bomberman R, incredibly underrated game, with the classic bomberman style, hidden gem n my book 💎
Sky Force Reloaded is a fantastic party game! It’s great fun to switch controllers between each other, and co-op through the game. The gameplay is so addicting, that we end up playing all night, which we have done several times. Buy it!! ❤️
Was worried I lost your channel, so glad I came across your content again, legit legend!! 🔥🔥
Thanks for the recommendations, MJR! Skies of Fury DX looks like something I would enjoy. You have also inspired me to spin up my retro-gaming rig and play Microsoft's FURY3 -- another fun game!
Great addition to the hidden gems library if I can give some feedback I'd like to see a longer one next time with the crew? And maybe including mentions of physical releases?
Thank you for this. I found some interesting games that I'm going to try out. Much appreciated.
Dig the new intro. HUGE improvement over the old one
Thanks for the vid, the store can be a little overwhelming to find the best in there, so a heads up on some jems is always appreciated.
I think of Game Sack whenever there's a Metal Jesus hidden gems episode. Great video btw.
seems like you haven't done a hidden gems episode in forever. glad to see another one
I did a PS2 Hidden Gems with Reggie last week. Check it out!
oh yeah i saw that one too. i just figure you done so many of them you ran out of hidden gems. or you don't have as much time to sit down and find them much. not complaining just an observation i made. i like these whenever they come out
Great Video as always! I would recommend Subsurface Circular, its a text adventure where you are a robot "detective" out to find the truth. Great Soundtrack too.
Nice, I’ve missed hidden gems videos. Two of them in a fortnight. Keep up the good work
Skyforce is awesome to have on the go. I have it on Vita and it comes everywhere with me.
Cool, never heard of any of these, and I keep up with this stuff religiously. You should turn this into a regular series.
I know the Switch community definitely appreciates these videos because sometimes we don't wanna risk a buy on a eShop game if its not praised for being good. I'm glad you did this video so I can play some new eShop games I had no idea that was on there.
If you like twin stick shooters, NeuroVoider is a must. Up to four players couch co-op, random levels, random enemies, random item drops and upgrades. If you die once (or if you nor any of your friends can survive a level) game over. Excellent soundtrack too.
Playing Dont Die Mr Robot DX right now and its surprisingly addicting. Perfect for a handheld device too
Great video. Nice to put games out there that we don’t hear much about. Reminds me of going to funcoland or my locL game store and listening in on the older kids talking about best games on NES that you never heard about!
Thanks for the Skyforce Reloaded suggestion. I’m completely hooked!! I’m generally terrible at top down shooters, but this one has such strong mechanics and tight controls it’s impossible not to love. The core gameplay loop with the drip drip of progression is expertly done…just one more run…
Traveling to Oregon tomorrow and I need new games! This is perfect.
Where in Oregon? I used to live in Roseburg and Bend.
Salem. I also have family in Grants Pass
Salem representative, welcome back to this lovely State
Thanks for sharing. Definitely agree about how many new games there are and how difficult it is to know which to buy, that is why I appreciate you doing these videos. Would you be able to put the current e-shop prices next to the titles as you discuss them? There's such a variety of prices on these gems. Also really wish the e-shop would add ratings like on the 3DS. Sometimes it feels a lot less well thought out. Big fan of your videos, which only increase my obsession with buying games, much to the chagrin of my wife and family, haha.
Sky force reloaded looks sweet!
I’d also recommend having in this list a game called Blossom Tales and Earth Wars is a good one as well
That air plane game looks fun af.🤤
Fantastic as always! There's way too much good stuff on the Switch eShop.
Some eShop games I would recomend:
A Robot Named Fight, Mercenaries Saga Chronicles, Golf Story, Snake Pass, Nine Parchments, Celeste, Fast Racing RMX, Blossom Tales, Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus, Namco Museum, Enter the Gungeon, Streets of Red, Völgarr the Viking, Yooka-Laylee
I really want that Skies of Fury DX game, but after dropping $60 on DK Tropical Freeze, I can't justify that.
