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

RIP Glens nan. Sorry about the lose bro hope your doing okay. Still see your putting out excellent videos though! I’ve really been looking forward to this one tho since I loved the origami Yooka Laylee, wasn’t perfect but that’s why I loved it so much. It truly reminded me of those classic collectathons. Great video tho. As always it’s great. Can’t wait to get this one just don’t know how the fuck I’ll afford this after this month and past.

Glen, so sorry to hear about your nan. No need to worry about the review quality, though, it's as spot on and well done as ever! I'm glad this game exceeded your expectations and surprised you. When I first heard there was going to be a Yooka sequel I was concerned as the first was messy, but the trailers for this one had my hopes raised. Looks like we'll have to nab this one! Thanks again for the great review and again, my condolences for your loss.

So sorry for your loss, Glen. Lost my grandmother three months ago. I wasn't able to get there in time when she was on her deathbed. I left a voice-message though, my mom played it for her. Grandmothers are special. I know you feel sad now. But just know that it is a part of life and that one (your nan) is never really gone. :) They live in our thoughts, memories, in our hearts. And maybe there's even an afterlife. Who knows? But if there is, I'm sure your nan is there right now, smiling at you. :)

The game looks great! I haven't played the first 3D platformer yet (it's in my backlog) so no hurry in playing but very interested. My wish is to put both games on a single cartridge. Happy to double dip if the platformer is to my liking, I have heard mixed reviews on it but feeling optimistic hence I bought it

I really enjoyed the first Yooka-Laylee. My biggest complaint about it was that each level can be expanded by spending enough pagies. It sounds good on paper, but when all the collectables are earned through their own independent, self contained challenges, I found myself preferring Mario 64's approach of just having two levels with the same theme.

Picking up on Xbox One. Looks great though on Switch. Hopefully the roll mechanic is satisfying to use (I love doing that in DKC on SNES). I could not grasp it very well in DKC Returns on 3DS.
