Raiser Games and U-Play Online have revealed that Youtubers Life: OMG Edition is headed to Nintendo Switch. We don't have long to wait to check it out, either, as it's scheduled to launch for the system on 14th November.
Youtubers Life is a simulation game where - you guessed it - you can become the most successful YouTuber in the world and knock that Pewdiepie down a peg or two in the process. You'll be creating videos, getting more subscribers than you could ever imagine, attending media events, interacting with your fans, and doing everything in your power to let your channel grow.
Starting off in your parents' house, getting your first subscriber or two, you'll soon be well on your way to stardom, meeting other well-known YouTubers, heading out to crazy YouTube parties, and sharing your life through your various social media channels. The game even goes so far as letting you deal with haters, getting you to sort through the struggles of monetising your content, and allowing you to sign with YouTube networks, in an almost scarily life-like experience.
The game features three "channels" for players to explore:
Become a famous gamer in the Gaming Channel – Record gameplays, reviews, speed runs, walkthroughs… Collect all the consoles from across generations, playyourfavorite titles and even develop your own video games!
Play your own compositions in the Music Channel – Play 30 different instruments and more than 10 music genres. Publish covers, lessons, duets, compose the catchiest songs and give exciting live concerts!
Cook the tastiest recipes in the Cooking Channel – Create new, exotic dishes from different gastronomies. Upload tips, tutorials and collaborative dishes, become an experienced chef and work in your own restaurant!
The game actually launched on PC - without the "OMG Edition" tag - back in 2016, unsurprisingly resulting in YouTubers playing the game on YouTube, where they pretended to be a YouTuber for their YouTube fans who were watching the YouTube game be played on YouTube. This new release has been designed especially for consoles, however, with new features such as a revamped interface being included.
Will you be giving this one a go next month? And, on a completely unrelated topic, did you know that Nintendo Life has a YouTube channel? Make sure to subscribe!

Something about calling it "OMG Edition" makes me cringe.
Still wondering when Youtube will ACTUALLY come to the Switch.
@TJWorks True but at least it's a good way to let us know not to buy it.
I wil not like. I might comment though and I definitely won’t subscribe.
@TJWorks That's what makes it authentic.
OMG what a funny title
OMG.
This is a game
Like, OMG!
This will be the only way Switch owners will ever see Youtube on the console. Not that Im bothered, I have a a stereo and soundbar both with bluetooth capabilities, so I can just hook up my phone on either one of them instead.
I dunno but i am the only one here who have a little bit interest about this game ?
Looked intriguing.
Wanna see some gameplay videos.
The only thing more laughable than a “Youtuber” is a game about being a Youtuber.
Hah, I'm betting the reaction to this will divide primarily on generational lines, much like reactions to the Let's Play phenomenon itself.
Maybe they make a post-Adpocalypse hard mode.
It could be fun. I'll wait for a review.
Alex should do a let's play. See how well he does at the whole YouTube thing.
eh, it's an okay game. not good, not bad just average. i already own it on pc. and not warrant enough to pick up again.
@Anti-Matter
OMG edition.
Okay then.
Cringy as F, dont know, dont care.
This game is for those pewdiepie wannabe, or for those who like to start a video with "Hello my beautiful people".
I’d rather have YouTube on the Switch.

(Watching the Youtuber Life video)
Cute !
I can have a Chipmunk teeth.
So, that's a Simulation Strategy game.
If the OMG Edition have a Physical release in the future....
If "Hello there, lovely people!" isn't an optional catch phrase, this is an automatic pass.
Oh my friggin lord
. . .
. . . what?
Switch Owners:
"WE WANT YOUTUBE ON SWITCH!!!"
eShop:
"Okay, heeeeeeeeere's your YouTube!....
...
Game!"
I could see this being interesting depending on how much strategy is in the game.
If there isn’t a Spiderman Elsa module, hard pass
I always kind of wanted to play this game but never actually bought it on Steam. I might give it a try. It may sound a little cringy but it's no different than any other management sim game.
I wonder if they'll let you record and upload over a hundred videos a day. I heard Youtube had some rule about not uploading more than 50, but, it's never stopped me for some reason. I like that there's someone trying to recreate this in video game form, but, to me, it just seems like more work, unpaid work at that. But, it's probably good for people wondering what it's like, and a lot less time consuming and less disappointing than the real thing is for the average Youtuber.
This is for all the 12 year old kids who say they want to be a YouTuber when they grow up... What a shameless cash grab!
That's ironic, a game about YouTube on a system without YouTube.
@Anti-Matter LOL just go on YouTube
DanTDM has tons of this stuff.
@Reigestugatensho
Why ?
Maybe a lot of peoples are not interested with this game, but somehow.... i have a little bit interest with this game.
I need to watch more to understand the gameplay.
Garbage! Utter garbage!
Now that YouTube is actually on the Switch, I wonder how many will still hate on this.
