Nintendo Switch Hidden Gems - Switchdrunk

In this video, it took SNESdrunk exactly 10 minutes and 30 seconds until (after a very long hiatus, I already thought he doesn't like that game anymore!) the mention of "Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball"

Huntdown is such an awesome game, I wish more people talked about it

Cross Code is the best game no one has played with the exception of La Mulana.

I saw the thumb included CrossCode and came running!! Such a great game! Needs to be talked about much more!

14:32 trials of mana is also in the mana collection, in its original super famicom form

Crosscode deserves its own video, it entered in my top 10 games of all times. It gave me that feeling of playing a great Snes game in my childhood. Finished with 70h of gameplay without the DLC

I recently discovered a hidden gem myself on the Switch. It's a game called "Astebreed," and rarely anyone ever talks about it. It's a shmup/action game where you control a mech similar to a Gundam, and the stages constantly change from vertical to horizontal. Plus, it has an interesting story. It usually goes for $20 on the eshop, but I got it for $5 when it was on sale(plus, I had some coins so that dropped it down to $1.35). I give this a solid recommendation to anyone who likes Shmups or Mech games in general.

Dick Sportswood has to be the best meme name.

The Talos Principle is a masterpiece of a first person puzzle game that goes on sale for $4.49 every month or so. I describe it as a mishmash of the Portal games, The Witness, The Matrix, and somehow Super Mario 64, with ancient historical settings and a deeply philosophical story told largely through found texts.

This is such a great format, promoting so many games that are forgotten or not currently in the public consciousness. It's a great shopping list. Please do a sequel this topic down the line!

I recommend the Switch version of the original Phantasy Star, which is great because it includes a badly needed automapping feature for the dungeons. I also really enjoyed House of the Dead: Remake, it was great with Joy-Cons. Neon Abyss is also really fun, it's a roguelike side scroller bullet hell dungeon crawler that is surprisingly fun and addictive.

A Robot named Fight. Classic Metroid as roguelike. Extremely hidden shining gem!!!

More people NEED to play Okami. It’s one of my most favorite games of all time. Such a unique experience.

THUMPER MENTIONED!!! If you like Thumper listen to the band Lightning Bolt, the bassist for Lightning Bolt does the music for Thumper! Theyre amazing

I would like to add Meg's Monster to this. Anyone who likes short, emotional, easy role-playing games will have a lot of fun with this title. No need to thank me.

Thank you so much for bringing CrossCode to light. A wonderful game.

Love seeing Bad North on the list. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with that game. The soundscape sets such a foreboding, ominous tone. Very cool.

I love these kinds of videos. I do have a few suggestions for some hidden gems on Switch: Mad Rat Dead- A cheerfully morbid rhythm platformer where you move to the beat of your heart. #Blud- A Zelda/Earthbound style adventure titled mixed with Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Billy & Mandy hijinks with an art style reminiscent of late 2000's Cartoon Network. Cobalt Core: A card based deckbuilding rouge like that has you managing a ship in a single axis battle system. Citizen Sleeper- A tapletop rpg visual novel hybrid that has you trying to survive and resource manage on a space station. Them's Fightin' Herds- An animal based 2D fighting game with plenty of charm and simple, but deceptively complex fighting mechanics you can master at your own pace. Umurangi Generation- A first person based photography game in a futuristic dystopia with loads of style and character. Tunic- A Zelda like, but with some lite souls mechanics and smartly put together hidden secrets that recreate the feel of NES Zelda without the condescending cryptic nature. Rain World- A survival side scroller where you play a slugcat trying to live. Very deep in mechanics, ai, and controls. Haven- A romantic couples sci-fi rpg where you try to survive in a derelict planet together that's simple to pick up and play. Neon White- A speedrunning shooter that tasks you to play for the best score possible while teaching you about speedrunning through gameplay without telling. Hyper Light Drifter- A post apocalyptic naturepunk playing similar to A Link to the Past, but much more free form in player choice on where you start and how you upgrade. Wargroove 1 & 2- A medieval-esque grid based tactical rpg in line with similar gameplay to Advanced Wars. Owlboy- A sidescrolling adventure game that sees you playing as a mute owl trying to save his dying floating landscape from falling to abyss. Gorgeous sprite work and a gut punching story in a few places. Downwell- An arcade style rogue lite platformer where you try to survive going down a well to progress as you fight monsters. Overwhelm- A crude, minimalist 2D sidescroller in line with Virtual Boy visuals that has you fighting in a sort of boss rush type game, with the catch being that you are incredibly vulnerable. Carrion- Metroidvania mixed with The Thing. ...That's my sales pitch for it, and it's every bit as creative as you can get with this premise. Killer Queen Black- A simple, but deep Joust type scoring game where you play as a team to compete against other workers to score the most points. It's not on eshop anymore (online servers died), but the physical should still be floating around if you're into local multiplayer games. Gato Roboto- A bite sized Metroidvania- but you play as a cat. Minit- A Zelda-like but the catch is you play in a minute and have to restart from your last save point each time. Night in the Woods- A story focused platformer where you live the life of a 20-something college dropout with very fleshed out characters that captures the feeling of loneliness and anxiety of a directionless 20 year old. Demon Turf- A cute pseudo 2D-3D platforming hybrid that has you fighting in turf warfare with other demons. Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition- A remastered port of the PC point & click game from 1997 that has you playing as a separate Blade Runner disconnected from the events of the movie. Dex- A 2D cyberpunk sidescrolling rpg hybrid with deep gameplay mechanics. Thief Simulator- A first person open world stealth game that let's you master breaking and entering homes to steal as much as you can under certain conditions. Starlink: Battle for Atlas- A simple space sim with a lot of Ubisoft open world staples- but in space and additional Star Fox content exclusive to the Switch version. Chex Quest HD- Kid friendly Doom with a cereal mascot. Cult of the Lamb- A rogue like dungeon crawling cult building sim that keeps growing with each new update that's come out and now has 2 player local co-op. Sol Cresta- Hideki Kamiya's last game at Platinum Games that's a shoot 'em up. Astral Chain- A very overlooked Switch exclusive from Platinum Games that's about futuristic cyberpunk police fighting inter dimensional beings using other captured one's to fight back.

Where have you gone Snesdrunk!? 1 month gone.. dang we miss new content 🎉 hope all is well!?❤

Bro, THANK YOU for making this video. I love hunting for indie games on my Switch and hate having to look them up on Steam to see which are worth a damn. Love your channel, and keep up the great work! <3
