now this, THIS, needs to be HDR boosted and sponsored by Valve on their steam decks

Which game is the one in the thumbnail??

I hope the first state of decay game reach Nintendo switch

Every SwitchUp video I just spend more money, and a I love it!

Calling this a 6 hour game is a crime. Then you boasting that you “100% completed the game” is laughable. Did you even play the game?

I beat the first chapter yesterday, so far I pretty much like everything but my biggest complaints are the backtracking and how you can't speed up the character's dialogue like in other JRPGs (i.e. skip to the next line as soon as I finish reading). There are soo many cutscenes and they take so long because of how slow the text boxes unfurl or whatever. I still am enjoying the game tho and I'm hoping that the cutscenes will slow down now that I'm (hopefully) out of the tutorial parts. I only own a Nintendo Switch so I hadn't even noticed the framerate, I'm just so used to 30fps at this point lol.

I have a GameCube from back in the day, but never played this. Now seems like the time!

Never played the Gamecube version of this but I might pick it up, but tired of my backlog growing even longer.

Good Review. Terrible game specially the control mechanics.

No need to be "stationary" its a pretty good game

This version is how i imagine the originall looks with rose tinted glasses, but its not nostalgia blindness. It genuinely is just the better version. Oh, and the colors really pop on the OLED

So there is fast travel. XD for some reason, I missed that and manually going back to Petalburge to complete troubles/quest. Glad I watched the review.

Oh wow I remember playing the original as a kid on the N64! Such good times and nostalgia, I replayed the hell out the game and was one of my first rpg/turn based. Def picking this up

The Animal Crossing-style voice samples whenever characters are talking was such an unfortunate inclusion. It’s so distracting to read the various Toad’s dialogue all being accompanied by the same squawk as the Toads in the mainline games, especially when you consider the deadpan delivery many of these lines need in order to produce the intended comic effect. The Paper Mario series exists in another universe than the mainline series-these aren’t the same characters. The Paper Mario characters have always been mute, allowing the player to imagine their voices. Paper Luigi’s dialogue isn’t written with an Italian accent, for instance. I wish Nintendo would include an option to switch the voices back to the original typing sound effect.

Enjoyed your review. I’ve picked it up for my kids. About the performance issue: Digital foundry, in their analysis, commented that a 60fps may not have been entirely possible using the Switch hardware with all the visual enhancements. They compared it to Mario RPG which was fully unlocked at 60fps but struggled in some areas dropping to 30fps and argued that a locked 30fps would have made more sense in these areas. Paper Mario is demanding a lot more from the hardware than Mario RPG. In other words, yes it was a choice, but they had reasons for that choice and it’s not indefensible as some are commenting. I normally prefer performance but for this kind of remake, I’ll take the visual enhancements over performance.

In a way Peach learned her lesson in Paper Mario Colour Splash. Instead of going to the island by herself, she went TO Mario and went WITH him to the island. She still got captured but not until after Mario got the Red paint star.

This game desperately needs a skip button..

Immediately thought of Elden Ring when you said games need a recap but then i thought maybe thats not the sort of game youd consider would need that bc theres no story so what would th3 recap consist of. What i need is a recap of are th3 controls bc its been over a year or 2 for me and im scared 😩

Kudos on the review guys! I know this is personal, but the halving of the frame rate came to allow them to push the fidelity, there are effects in play that aren’t generally available on most switch version of games such as the Screen Space Reflections. Well anyway, in game like this that does not require fast camera movement id rather have the extra fidelity. I just don’t agree with this taking points away from your score. But I can understand the perspective. Agree to disagree.

Thanks for the review, I'm picking it up on Steam.

Have the Assassin's Creed games aged well? I've had an urge to play them again but haven't touched one in yeeearrs.

I played both the old ones and the remakes on my switch and I can honestly say after about half an hour with both I went with the new versions , I'll take the pretty new graphics anyday over the old ones

I wonder if we’ll finally discover the true identity of the mysterious Mr. L 🤔

I picked up the WRC bundle last week for £8.99. It's available on our UK store

30fps ruins the game, bros. They did that because they hate you

Pretty excited for this one. Heard it was very good, and when I was a kiddo closest I got to this game was a rental

Thank you for the great review. Glad you finally got to play the game. I never played the Gamecube version either and would rather get this than spend $100 or so on the original.

I played this on gamecube and would love to play again but there are too many new games i need to get to to justify it.😩 Also, the different companions all having different contextual dialogue depending on who you use always gave me anxiety. I needed to hear what everyone's response or assessment was and would sit and cycle through each companion. It took up so much time and was so exhausting 😭🤌🏿

Hey SwitchUp, just letting you know that your reviews playlist has some random movie and arm wrestling video in it around the 7-8 months ago uploaded videos. Look for borderlands 3 and wargroove 2 reviews. Cheers!

It feels way longer than Super Mario RPG. Still on chapter 3 and loving it!

I've put a couple hours into it and i can't stand the framerate... I'm not gonna finish this version

Glen says "visuals are FANTASTIC... the extra details really do increase the level of charm" just as GIANT paper jugs come on screen hahahah. Please tell me that was intentional

Haven’t played the original in so long. I can’t wait to dive into this. Man, the Switch is still pumping out quality titles.

Another game added to my wishlist, oh i meant games I'm unable to play due to time constraints 😓

Thank you for the review! I will definitely be buying this one. I loved the first one on n64, what a lovely game!

DEFINITELY worth your time for sure

I like playing atelier games,but this type of game is not very popular and publicized by people, so it is very difficult for you to be able to finish a game like this with at least 95% of them.😂😮

Mary-o or Mario?

Totally a day one buy and I am having a blast as someone who has played the game prior! However, if I have to give one piece of criticism, I feel like the nostalgic tunes badge is...kind of a lie. I'm playing my first run with this on and the one thing that gets under my skin is that not all of the original tracks are present and sometimes, especially in the climactic scenes of chapter 2 and 5, the new tracks, to me, are just worse by comparison with no way to turn them off. So far my least favorite track in the game (is it a track? I still hate it though) is the red scull theme Flavio sings in chapter 5. That shit is GRATING! And you have to pause and listen to it in order to read the right number of hits for the tiki heads. This will probably be the number one thing I absolutely dread if I play chapter 5 again and there is no way too fast forward with B or skip it in anyway way so that my eardrums won't bleed.

No offense but looks more like bloodborne psx instead of bloodborne on switch

League of Gentelmen?!?! Mark truly is a man of culture 😂

This game is amazing so far and I feel like Undertale got a bit of inspiration from this game. The sense of humor is similar at parts & some concepts are the same

I think no other paper mario will beat the n64 one. The music, starting moments and story, are one of a kind

As someone that doesn’t like turn based RPGs much, I’m having an amazing time with this game. Picked Hellblade 2 and this on the same day. 30 min in HB2 and 10h into this so far. Tells you everything :D

I’ve been playing it like hell for these past few days I love it, I’ll just be sad when it’s over

I would like to see the Outer Worlds and No Man's Sky ^^

That’s hilarious. I have P5 royal and did the exact same thing, got near the end then stopped playing now I don’t know what’s going on

Have they patched this game?

so excited to play this!

Nintendo, enjoy joining the ranks of Target and Bud Lite.
