SwitchUp - Hry
Edit: So it turns out there are still a ton of geometry issues in Little kitty annoyingly. Although mine seem fixed many are having issues.
Hi everyone, as promised, trying to get these out more regularly. Let me know what thought! Let's revisit a bunch of Switch games including BIomutant, Batman, Wartales and more! This was kindly sponsored by Warhamer Dakka Squadren which also has a massive patch out - check out the game here: www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/Warhammer-40-000-Dakka-Squadron-FLYBOYZ-EDITION-2526543.html
Dakka looks much better, but the camera is still so jarring and janky that I had to uninstall again - you can see what I mean in the footage included in this video, especially when banking. Hoping the next patch focuses on those issues.
Poor Batman :( But seriously, it's not good enough...This is why I respect smaller studios/indies much more. They work SO hard on their games and even do free DLC. That's how it's done
Yeah it's pretty sad really...
Its a real shame as I was hoping to experience this series for the first time on any platform but I can't justify the physical price of $89AUD for two great games and one mess. You can't really enjoy and conclude the narrative in a trilogy if the third is unplayable. Saddening 😞
I genuinely think they could have released Asylum and City and passed on Knight, and it would have been fine. It was a dumb move to put out a bad port that drags the whole thing down. I had a blast replaying the first two.
@@SwitchUpYt Even Arkham Asylum and City are compromised. If it wasn't for Arkham Knight being a complete train wreck, people would have been harder on Asylum and City for not running at a more consistent 30fps. They are serviceable, but they really should have been perfect on Switch.
To be fair, I don't think Arkham Knight was ever designed to run reasonably well on hardware like the Switch - there's really only so much you can do when a game is designed around more memory bandwidth/CPU power etc. without radically re-designing a game. The Switch has some very real limitations based on its specs and form-factor. Granted, some developers have managed to squeeze a little more out of the hardware than others, but at this point I don't really think there are any tricks that will lead to radical performance gains - the hardware is what it is.
Shoutout to Shiver Entertainment being saved from Embracer and getting acquired by Nintendo after seeing their work on making MK and Hogwarts Legacy ports for Switch. I feel like 3rd party support for the upcoming "Switch 2" is about to be even stronger.
That's the smart play! Acquire studios that specialize in porting.
yup, all devs that supported Switch has their other games ready to be dropped.
Dying Light for Switch and they cancelled the Dying Light 2 cloud version in order to have the Switch 2 port ready.
GTA Trilogy so we are gettign GTA4 & 5
RDR1 so you know we getting RDR2
Witcher 3 so CyberPunk is coming
I remember that dev laughed at putting TitanFall on the Switch but then ports Apex to Switch so we should be getting TitanFall on the Switch 2
And Square has come full circle after jumping ship on the N64 with FFVII
It blows my mind that anyone would say you shouldn't re visit games.. that's like saying whatever grade you got on the very first test you ever took should be the same grade you get all throughout schooling.
Updates happen, things in game change. So should the review of said game.
Love love love these videos, thank you sir!
Happens all the time strangely! Mark
I think people don't like the practice of developers/publishers releasing games in unfinished states. They feel re-visiting games is "rewarding" this bad practice. (Honestly though, most publishers/channels don't re-visit games, so the initial poor release still impacts the games perception long term, even if fixed.) I also don't like this practice, but I prefer games that get fixed eventually to games released in bad shape and never get fixed. If a developer/publisher makes the effort to get a game to the place it should have been at launch, I'm glad there is a videos like this that will shed light on that.
As much as I love that games are fixed and improved for those who bought them, rarely is it such a night-and-day difference that it warrants bumping up the initial score. I've put hundreds of hours into MK1 on Switch and I love that they've continually fixed it, but to say that it's gone from a 4/10 to a 6/10 still isn't high praise.
Damn, i clicked so fast on the video when i saw Batman on the thumbnail for "all patched up" video, just to be disappointed within first few seconds 😅
I absolutely love this series and am so happy you do them. Please continue to produce these where needed for this Switch and on into the next one. It is incredibly helpful for me and I'm sure many others in knowing what patches have arrived and if a game has been improved and to what degree. Thank you SwitchUp and Mark especially for taking the time to make these.
I dunno if it's been covered, but *_Borderlands 3_* is running the best it can now. The menus are a little slow, the initial boot up takes a few minutes, and out of about 40 hours it's only randomly crashed twice but it's running solid during actual gameplay etc.
I've been thinking about getting the game on Switch, how're the loading times? Can you compare it to the other version's times?
@@toblerone1729 i was really impressed by BL3 on switch. it looks and feels like a borderlands game. loading time didn't stand out to me, except for the mrs being a little staggered, but that said, load times aren't something i really pay attention to unless it's really bad in a game with lots of loading. prolly cuz i grew up in the cd-rom era when multiple minute load times were the price of fancy graphics and redbook audio lol. but i didn't notice them while playing, so take that for whatever you think it's worth.
I picked it up recently and it runs surprisingly well, and is overall a pretty impressive port all things considered. I do think it has a serious memory leak issue though, specifically if you put the Switch in rest mode while the game is running. It's a near guaranteed crash on start-up every time. At least, that has been my experience with it.
@@toblerone1729 The initial load up when starting/continuing that's a few minutes. Literally. That's the worst of it. Area transition loading screens are about 20-30 seconds. The graphics have been "downgraded" of course but you can't really tell. It's looks just like all the others in the series.
I just want to say that I really appreciate your work checking update patches. Not many people come back to older games and check their status to date. Great work! You are awesome!🤩
You're welcome mate! Mark
You say "hopefully it's helpful" and honestly.. it is! You're one of only a few channels that looks back at games and reviews their launch AND subsequent updated versions and i honestly find this invaluable! There's been so many times that I've been in two minds about a game and your reviews put me at ease. To know that a game is in a playable state after your reviews is generally enough for me to make a definitive decision.
Generally though, i always like watching your videos start to finish. You're views and technical info is always thorough and unbiased, and i particularly admire the time and appreciation you give to the indie developers. I think your channel is a solid platform for the publishers to get some honest feedback! Keep doing what you do guys 💪🏼
PSA: Tales of Symphonia has been patched quite a few times, and runs perfectly fine now. Sadly, it was terrible at launch so most people already dismissed the port, but it's totally worth it.
Excellent! Mark
Is this true!? Niiice. That's great!
@@Ser-Smileyit's true. I couldn't play this game as every fight hurted my eyes. The flashing white screen on the Oled was quite painful. It's fixed now. It's the original opening like on the other platforms splitting screen. + Slowdowns + major bugs are fixed. 🎉
@@Beornvith this is really good news for me. Yeesss. When i have money im buying Symphonia. Lets goooo
Thanks, was looking for a jrpg to sink into
Batman...... Literally feels more and more like a cashgrab the more that time passes by. All we ask for is an update and to get our moneys worth. Or a refund for something that clearly isnt as advertised!
This. It's important they don't get away with that. Mark
Nintendos no refund policy for digital purchases is seriously ridiculous
Serves people right thst buy digital @@RachelXKnight666
Speaking of Switch ports that have been improving like Mortal Kombat 1, it was in the news recently that Nintendo acquired Shiver; the studio that worked on the MK11 and MK1 ports. I do wonder if this means Nintendo will be able to step in and help them optimize the game even more.
Or could also need help for a possible new Smash Game for Switch v2?
Yeah it's interesting that acquisition! Mark
@@MikeTheEnforcerThey have stated they want them to keep working on ports essentially.
I know that Aggro Crab are still working on a patch for Another Crab's Treasure for the Switch but considering how many platforms they released on, this may take some time to arrive. I'm happy to wait before purchasing for a stable handheld build so I'm not fussed.
PSA, those starting Morbid: Lords of Ire, you can sometimes sprint faster than the game can load the assets. This runs the risk of glitching into the floor and assets loading on top of you, rendering you entirely unable to move and forcing you to quit out to the menu and load back in. This could mean you lose some progress into an area and enemies are once again alive. Just slow down when you notice assets still popping in. I do hope that this can be patched but not sure.
Yes Wartales! That one’s been sitting on my wishlist since your review! Gonna wait for a sale before I pull the trigger though.
Still my absolute favourite series on youtube! Wish we had more content creators doing this. There are so many games that are actually worth owning after a patch or two so very glad your willing to spend the time to figure it out for us!
Ya know what's sad is Bloodstained Ritual of the Night never got a graphics/FPS update for the Switch. So it's stuck having blurry models, but yet still receives new content. :/
I pulled it out recently to see if it had been patched, but no, it's still a stuttery mess. It's terribly optimized on Switch.
I never had issues with my copy
Yeah, frame rate is still a mess, but they did added some kind of super resolution for AA, it looks better in docked mode now
I love how you guys at switchup update ur reviews bc when I look up a review, especially for an older game. I look up the most recent review for that reason. So good job guys !
I was JUST looking for an update on Wartales and here you guys are coming through! Thank you for the coverage. Now I feel I can be excited to try it out. Cheers!
I appreciate the disclaimer at the beginning regarding Batman Arkham Knight. WB should refund all of us 1/3 of our money. Well, had I bought the game on Switch. But solidarity, yo.
I bought the game on Switch but luckily I haven’t played it yet only Arkham City so far.
Still better than a lot of Xbox 360 and PS3 games in performance
This is the only channel that'll happy go back and look at games after patches and I absolutely praise that, its great to see whether the quality of games has improved from their initial release especially when there's a chance I'll pick them up later after a few patches.
Thanks for keeping this series up guys!
This is one of my favorite of your video series on your channel. Games I may have passed on upon release to find out whether or not they’re worth purchasing yet. Thanks for all you do!
Thanks for doing these. I always appreciate hearing about games that have been improved with patches, makes me reconsider picking up games I initially passed on given their launch state.
This is by far my favorite format of videos you guys make I love the all patched videos.
Man. I live for these type of videos. Thanks for always revisiting games when they get updates
The people that say you shouldn't re-review things can kiss my ass. These videos are in my opinion some of the most important on the channel and is what distinguishes this channel from others. No one else re-evaluates games after patches and I want to know if a game I would've played but didn't because of its dire state is worth taking a look at now. And kudos to the devs that actually put in the time and don't just abandon the games and run with your money. I have a suspicion that Arkham Knight has been abandoned too. Hopefully I eat my words.
Recently got Outer Worlds, yes, it’s a bit rough around the edges, but it’s a great game to have on the go, especially with no fallout on switch and runs pretty well
Yea we need a fallout game 😞
Did they improve the ridiculous load times?
@@richardgreathead5735 I don’t have a comparison to what it used to be, but I will say they’re better than Witcher 3 on PS4 😂
@@richardgreathead5735 The load times are probably down to slow storage and/or CPU
I finished Arkham Knight the other day (about 80% of all missions). It was definitely playable from start to end, but there are moments where fps really dip (especially when driving the Batmobile). I feel that if performance was a bit better during driving parts it would be decent... Oh, and there were about 4 or 5 crashes in my playthrough, usually when putting villains on the back of the car for taking them to GCPD.
I appreciate Switch Up for going back to previous games that have gotten performance updates and revisiting and rescoring them. I wish more reviewers on all platforms would go back and give a game second or even third glance. Some games do get better and become redeemable.
The Metal Gear Solid Master Collection are updated, would be interesting to see how you think it run.
Great to see such big improvements this week! Amazing to see how much is still coming out for the Switch. I suspect that Nintendo has already been quietly assuring publishers of their commitment to compatibility in their next console, but I'm still guessing we'll see fewer big releases as the year goes on.
Arkham Origins will never be bundled with the other Arkham Games because it was made by a different developer/company. That is one of the reasons why Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill do not voice Batman/Bruce Wayne and the Joker in it.
I recently bought batman as it went down to £28.99 in the sale. I'm starting at the beginning but I decided to try Arkham knight just to see what like and yeah, it looks rough. I played to the batmobile section and it's jumpy but go be honest I can live with it. Maybe it's because I'm from the generation of players that uses to play 3D flight Sims on a commodore 64 that used to run at 1 frame per second. I'm also one of those people that can still play racing games even if they don't have "racing lines" switched on. Remember that? When you had to judge corner speed from actually memorising the track and not just keeping your eyes glued on a green and red racing line.
Thanks guys!! Awesome video as always ❤️ goodnight!
BioMutunt on Switch has gotten better than when it was the last time I watched you review it.
Now, if Pokemon Scarlet and Violet get some decent performance updates.
Thank you for jumping back into theses games and re-reviewing these games to keep them updated. You're doing God's work.
Also, yes, Arkham Origins would be a decent substitute if Knight can't be patched up to be optimal for Switch
Man, simply one of the best "game review" series on CZcams, All Patched Up is a gem of category. Thanks for the work!👏👏👏
I live for these videos. Sometimes the biggest games need a little work before I buy them. And then they end up on sale after as well. I come look for these videos when I'm not sure about a patch
Arkham Origins was developed by WB Montreal, not Rocksteady, and also never re-released for PS4/XB1 like the first two games. Is that why it's not on the Switch collection instead of Rocksteady's Arkham Knight?
good to know about wartales! i completely missed this one, might get it at some point, thanks for the updates
I love this series. Really helps me decide on games and I appreciate the team working on these videos!
I've played a bunch of Wartales on steam deck and i love it a lot. Might pick it up on switch on a sale if that version is really getting better!
Thank you, I dont know why, but I enjoy this series more than reviews, and I love you all's reviews!
Thank you mate! Mark
Thanks for the video👌
Still waiting for Rico London en Horizon chase 2 tho👌
You are right, Bloodstained has had another update, its on 1.5.0 (the Chaos and Vs update)
Very glad to hear about Biomutant. This game just looks so unique I had to try it. Ordered the physical today and waiting to pick it up.
If you have any update on Batman Arkham Trilogy updates patch, please keep us updated as best as you can. Also, thanks for the update of Mortal Kombat 1 Switch update patch it seems like its playable.
Would you guys consider talking about the MGS Master Collection again at some point? I hear it's been steadily improving and would love to find out if it's worth getting now.
Will we see a next patch or something for Contra Operation Galuga on switch? I'm still experiencing crashes and some glitches.
Would it be possible for your team to keep the games name in a corner of the screen as you're talking about them? Often times on this series and your Deals series it's easy to miss or forget the title by the time you get to The Verdict.
I love this series, some channels do update videos about one or two games every once and a while but a reliable series like this is unique to this channel as far as I know. Sadly this is also really important for a lot of switch ports that are sometimes even broken at launch to get that Switch money on same release day or sometimes even months after. Nintendo doesn't technically allow early access but a lot of games show up much much worse than early access on steam. Hopefully Nintendo change their mind about early access for Switch 2.
This and interesting games are my favourite series your channel does.
Man, I was hoping for an update for Another Crabs's Treasure
As someone that recently started enjoying the handheld aspect of my switch but always worries about performance issues, thank you.
I must be the only one that didn't have a bunch of issues with Bloodstained Ritual of the Night and I have a physical copy, it has ran just fine for me since the first time I played it.
That background music is giving me some Vangelis vibes
..Like tears in the rain
JCVDs upper torso still isn’t fixed in Mortal Kombat.
It has a massive line through is body that you can see through.
@SwitchUp The stuttering shadows in Biomutant is because the shadows aren't being updated in realtime but at periodic intervals. This would have been done to save CPU power for other things.
Seems much better in 1.0.1
Glad to see Biomutant getting better! Great series, thanks for the updates 😊 and Batman with the flaming Switch is such a nice touch 🤣
This game Wartales looks so cool, I missed that! Thanks for bringing it up in here! I might check it out
41 minutes ago. I don't think I've ever been this early. Lol
Keep up the great work! You guys are the first channel I look for regarding switch news/reviews!
I picked Wartales up not long ago since it was on sale for the first time in forever. I'm glad to hear it's fixed now.
Maybe that's the wrong order to do things, but I didn't know how long I'd have to wait until the next sale 😂
this is what I liked about this channel..
we forgot about the games we bought that sux bcoz of their performance.. only to realize there's a patch and now we can enjoy our money's worth.. lol..
I think it's great to re-score things. People need to know about the improvements; it also helps give feedback to these developers.
It is absolutely fair to do this and it should be done. Good for you guys!!
i am the one who has been asking for wartales for a long time! glad to see it is more playable now, i feel better about picking it up. now it's time to wait for the dlc! :P thanks guys!
Any news on Eiyuden Chronicles Hundred Heroes? I'm really hoping they can fix the Switch version. It seems like there is so much potential with that game and to be able to play it on the go would be great.
What's wrong with the switch version? How does it play in comparison to the Steam Deck and Ally?
@@crestofhonor2349
I've heard there are performance issues horrible loading times during battles and menu screens. Game would crash in certain spots.
Would like to see an update on Contra: Operation Galuga. I've seen comments suggesting improved input latency and more stable performance, but haven't really seen any youtube videos covering the update.
there hasn't been an update for patches or even bug fix for bugged quests in wartales since the last patch on like november or so of last year, the devs have abandoned support of their console ports (xbox included, they still haven't fixed xbox's save file deletion bug)
what joy cons are those at 9:36 into the video
Would love to see another crabs treasure pop up in one of these videos soon. I really want to play the game but its honestly just not quite there yet for switch
I have Biomutant, but i don’t think it’s updated because i never got the prompt… did it really get a day one update?
This is a beautiful series to revisit a bunch of your average rated games or games that had multiple patches.
Here hoping for a Biomutant update in this video!!
I love these series. Thank you!
If the Switch 2 is backward compatible and devs release free patches or paid “next-gen updates”, this channel will blow up with this format that you got going on. I cannot wait for what’s in store for you guys!
Mark, I've been wanting to get Art of Rally for a really long time now. I know it was rough at the beginning, there were some patches, it's on 1.4.3, and the patch list is really long. It would be great if your revisited it for us, lowly buggers who don't want to spend money on poorly optimised garbage? :) Also: this is probably my favourite of your series - really appreciate the hard work you do on it. And there is some strange feeling of satisfaction that these games are getting better. It feels pretty atavistic to be honest ;)
excellent video, I'm quite pleased with biomutant i know if compared with other platforms still might look kinda ugly but if we just look at it without comparison i believe it stands out. those colors really pop
wow little kitty looks like an interesting stray.
Awe I was hoping to hear what you guys thought about The Last Faith, I do know it was recently patched for framerate but there’s still a few bugs with the game that still need to be patched. Great coverage on these 6 titles tho I’ll have to keep a look out for it in next PatchedUp
Check out Switch corner. Alex over there has done 3 different videos for Last Faith including one for the latest update.
Still on the fence with regards to Biomutant but would really like to give the cat a go
Perfect sale pickup
This is by far the best series you guys run. Appreciate the updates and insight.
Cheers man! Mark
I'm so gutted about that Batman game, I'm going on partial hunger strike!
I just won't have any dinner dinner dinner dinner...
Bloodstained doesn't have any Switch updates from the previous patch other than the new co-op/versus mode and Shantae costume set (free) premium costume (paid dlc) like all the other platforms
Ahhhhh that's a shame someone in comments told me it had. Mark
I have a feeling that they are going to "patch up" Batman Arkham Knight; after the Switch 2 releases and they are able to impove the performance when ONLY playing it on the Switch 2; via backwards compatiblity.
I doubt it. Arkham Knight never got a PS5/Series S/X update either. Warner does not give a damn about quality.
@@JustFun-ho6qy You probably right. If anything; they may try to simply sell a better port of the game; a few years later down the line; if it is to cross promote something.
I cant wait to play biomutant after hearing all the good comments about it on another one of your videos....but I want to wait a bit for it to get optimized, and maybe for it to be on sale since it seems so polarizing.
I’m hoping for an update on Pennys Big Breakaway.
I appreciate the recent performance update which aims for 60fps, but pretty much everyone’s experience is the same… if drops back to 30 so frequently that it’s distracting, most people just leave performance mode off.
I hope the devs continue to work on achieving a stable 60fps
Has Turn Me Up said anything if they are doing another patch or are they still radio silent about it?
Silence
@@SwitchUpYt well. That’s not good. They probably won’t patch the rest of it.
Where is that music at the beginning from? Sounds kinda like some risk of rain stuff
Have there been any fixes for EA sports FC 24? That game seems to be selling very well on Switch, way more than the Fifa clones every year.
I got it on release but it kept crashing in manager mode, many cut scenes wouldn't play and often the crowd didn't load properly. Got rid of it but tempted to come back again.
Who the hell thinks it’s bad that you guys go back and look at patches up games and adjust your review??? That’s one of the biggest amazing things that sets you guys leagues ahead of other reviewers!
Cheers mate we do get a few silly comments about it. Mark
It’s the regular patch ups that I think most people appreciate
Good call on calling out the Batman games, thank you!
I’ve said it before the end of the year that these games (Batman,hogwarts,mortal kombat,..etc) would not look or run properly or get the proper experience on the switch at this time and being a huge switch fan like everyone else it comes to a point and not to be ashamed to admit that we need new hardware right now
Can you review Xuan yuan sword 7 ? Want to know if it's worth picking up. Only if you have the time. Thank you
It's sad to think that the Arkham Knight patch might turn out to be playing it on the Switch's successor vs the current Switch.
Yes and no.
It's nice to think that existing switch games that throttle themselves via draw distance and dynamic resolution will play better on Switch 2 before they even get thinks like 4K patches
Now I'm torn for Last Faith, you guys seem to be saying it's worth it but Alex at Switch corner said it was still a broken mess.... I saw the physical has been pushed back till August which I think means they don't want to release it in it's current state
Alex from Switch corner is a good mate and he's put MANY more hours in to it. His latest patch review he's found some new issues so I'd hold off for now. Mark
Do a Patched Up segment on Tomb Raider Remastered Trilogy. I know at launch it had some camera issues and keys looking invisible and some other visual glitches. With the physical edition coming out it would be good to revisit it to assure gamers of the current state of the game which has fixed most if not all of these issues
Oh, it's nice to see Wartales is finally playable... looks like it's time to pick it up!
I would love to see Another Crabs Treasure in this review after the update 😊
Thanks for this info. I think I may check out Wartales
I say wait at least a year for Batman. It's not entirely unusual for significant updates to take time. And hopefully, it really benefits from the Switch 2.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the new Bloodstained Ritual of the Night patch that just came out recently. Love the videos and thanks for keeping us informed on all the great deals!
