Allow us to guide you through what we think are the best titles to release on the Nintendo Switch in 2023. All major brands have been smashing it in 2023, and Nintendo has been doing it as well as anyone. The iconic Japanese company has given its millions of fans a ton of top-notch games\u2014even bonafide GOTY contenders for good measure. The\u00a0Nintendo Switch 2\/Pro\u00a0still seems to be a while away, but that hasn't stopped the godfather from releasing many Wonder-ful titles. Here are 2023's top Nintendo Switch games for you to check out. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Outside of\u00a0GTA 6, there haven't been many games as hyped in recent memory as\u00a0The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I adore the\u00a0Zelda\u00a0series and\u00a0Breath of the Wild, but I LOVE\u00a0Tears of the Kingdom. It's perfect, except for weapon degradation, which I'll never like, fight me, and somehow betters a 10\/10 game\u2014almost making\u00a0BOTW, dare I say it, redundant?\u00a0Tears of the Kingdom\u00a0is a 2023 GOTY contender, and it's already an all-time great. Metroid Prime Remastered I'm always thankful for remakes and remasters. You can't play every game, it's impossible. Growing up,\u00a0Metroid Prime\u00a0was one of those games that got away from me. Having played\u00a0Metroid Prime Remastered\u00a0this year, again, I'm eternally grateful that games get a new lease of life. It's exposure to a new generation, an adrenaline-filled nostalgia kick for long-time fans, and the opportunity to give an already lauded title a shiny, modern makeover. That's the case here.\u00a0Metroid Prime Remastered\u00a0is a simply unbelievable journey that has clearly been the catalyst for future generations of games. Octopath Traveler II Square Enix making a critically acclaimed JRPG feels like Groundhog Day at this point. A sequel to 2018's\u00a0Octopath Traveller, the follow-up entry embraces the Square ideology of a new setting, story, and characters. It utilizes the most eye-catching visual style I've seen in a while, and it gives\u00a0Octopath Traveller II\u00a0something that many games, even great ones, suffer from\u2014an identity. A deep, refined combat system and a cast of characters that would give The Simpsons a run for their money make\u00a0Octopath Traveller II\u00a0a must-play in 2023. Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe I seem to hate myself, as I can't get enough of\u00a0Souls\u00a0games. I also enjoy playing regular games on harderdifficulty levels, as the rush of the challenge and overcoming arduous obstacles is thrilling. This is why I wholeheartedly embrace something like\u00a0Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. It's refreshing and makes up for a lack of difficulty with stupidly fun, incisive gameplay that cuts to your core and knows what you're looking for as a player. Sumptuous, stylish visuals complemented by addictive gameplay infused with a soundtrack you'll unknowingly bob along to. Get some friends over and indulge in some good, honest fun. Red Dead Redemption It's only right to throw some\u00a0Red Dead Redemption\u00a0love in here. Rockstar's cowboy crusade drops the modern streets of\u00a0GTA, throws them through some saloon doors, and leaves them in the dirt\u2014along with some snakes and bears.\u00a0RDR\u00a0is basically\u00a0GTA\u00a0in the Wild West, and there's nothing wrong with that. The attention to detail is unmistakable and there's a completely different vibe. I feel only Rockstar could make such a drastic transition and still master it. The Nintendo Switch port is another excuse to get lost in a different era, but on the go. Blasphemous 2 Remember what I was saying about\u00a0Kirby\u00a0earlier? Games like that are refreshing because of extreme exercises in patience like\u00a0Blasphemous 2. Tough, punishing, and almost sadistic, The Game Kitchen has cooked up another feast of ferocity and fragility as your main character battles to survive. Grotesque enemies and vivid imagery are all part and parcel of\u00a0Blasphemous 2, and if you enjoyed its predecessor, then there's a whole lot of love (and hate) to consume here. Pikmin 4 The latest cutesy and low-key strategic\u00a0Pikmin\u00a0game arrived on July 21, 2023, and Dot Esports' Adam Newell has a lot love for it. \"Pikmin 4\u00a0springs the\u00a0Pikmin\u00a0series to new heights,\" Adam says. \"It brings back fan-favorite\u00a0Pikmin\u00a0gameplay mechanics, while providing a unique open-world twist to the formula. While it doesn\u2019t get everything right and is relatively easy to complete, the amount of content is unrivaled, and will have you playing for days to come.\" Sea of Stars One of 2023's standout stories, while simultaneously scooping the award for sleeper hit of the year, has to go to\u00a0Sea of Stars. Its enchanting art style is enough to sway most audiences, but in the words of Dot Esports' Scott Duwe: \"Sea of Stars\u00a0is a gorgeous modern rendition of the turn-based RPGs I grew up playing, like stepping into a time machine to relive the glory days.\" Yes, while the likes of\u00a0Final Fantasy\u00a0have moved on from turn-based combat, many are keeping the genre alive and well. I can only imagine how over the moon Sea of Stars' Sabotage Studio is with its reception. F-Zero 99 Tetris 99 was a bizarre battle royale concept, yet it proved to be a masterstroke. Fast forward to 2023, and we've had \"99\" versions of\u00a0Mario,\u00a0Pac-Man, and now\u00a0F-Zero. A notable thematical shift in\u00a0F-Zero 99\u00a0is the notion of last man standing. You all race, and you all finish, but in accordance with battle royale rules...there can only be one. You're presented then with the tried and tested\u00a0F-Zero\u00a0gameplay, subtly tweaked with some BR nuances, and the \"one more race\" itch will certainly eat away at you. Super Mario Bros. Wonder It's official, Nintendo has an inexhaustible factory line of innovation and fresh gameplay curves rivalling its contemporaries in any decade.\u00a0Super Mario Wonder\u00a0is an example of this as, from start to finish, the latest 2D\u00a0Mario\u00a0game lives and breaths ingenuity. Its deliciously engaging level-to-level design oozes with panache: one second you're gliding across a glacial land, and the next you're pummeling enemies with your trunk. It's elephantastic, another stellar entry in the\u00a0Super Mario\u00a0games, and a load of bull\u2014no, it has literal levels with bulls.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/best-nintendo-switch-games-2023-guide-e1699452519159.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1023476"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1023476"}],"version-history":[{"count":24,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1023476\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1060199,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1023476\/revisions\/1060199"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1023632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1023476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1023476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1023476"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1023476"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1023476"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1023476"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1023476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Allow us to guide you through what we think are the best titles to release on the Nintendo Switch in 2023. All major brands have been smashing it in 2023, and Nintendo has been doing it as well as anyone. The iconic Japanese company has given its millions of fans a ton of top-notch games\u2014even bonafide GOTY contenders for good measure. The\u00a0Nintendo Switch 2\/Pro\u00a0still seems to be a while away, but that hasn't stopped the godfather from releasing many Wonder-ful titles. Here are 2023's top Nintendo Switch games for you to check out. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Outside of\u00a0GTA 6, there haven't been many games as hyped in recent memory as\u00a0The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I adore the\u00a0Zelda\u00a0series and\u00a0Breath of the Wild, but I LOVE\u00a0Tears of the Kingdom. It's perfect, except for weapon degradation, which I'll never like, fight me, and somehow betters a 10\/10 game\u2014almost making\u00a0BOTW, dare I say it, redundant?\u00a0Tears of the Kingdom\u00a0is a 2023 GOTY contender, and it's already an all-time great. Metroid Prime Remastered I'm always thankful for remakes and remasters. You can't play every game, it's impossible. Growing up,\u00a0Metroid Prime\u00a0was one of those games that got away from me. Having played\u00a0Metroid Prime Remastered\u00a0this year, again, I'm eternally grateful that games get a new lease of life. It's exposure to a new generation, an adrenaline-filled nostalgia kick for long-time fans, and the opportunity to give an already lauded title a shiny, modern makeover. That's the case here.\u00a0Metroid Prime Remastered\u00a0is a simply unbelievable journey that has clearly been the catalyst for future generations of games. Octopath Traveler II Square Enix making a critically acclaimed JRPG feels like Groundhog Day at this point. A sequel to 2018's\u00a0Octopath Traveller, the follow-up entry embraces the Square ideology of a new setting, story, and characters. It utilizes the most eye-catching visual style I've seen in a while, and it gives\u00a0Octopath Traveller II\u00a0something that many games, even great ones, suffer from\u2014an identity. A deep, refined combat system and a cast of characters that would give The Simpsons a run for their money make\u00a0Octopath Traveller II\u00a0a must-play in 2023. Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe I seem to hate myself, as I can't get enough of\u00a0Souls\u00a0games. I also enjoy playing regular games on harderdifficulty levels, as the rush of the challenge and overcoming arduous obstacles is thrilling. This is why I wholeheartedly embrace something like\u00a0Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. It's refreshing and makes up for a lack of difficulty with stupidly fun, incisive gameplay that cuts to your core and knows what you're looking for as a player. Sumptuous, stylish visuals complemented by addictive gameplay infused with a soundtrack you'll unknowingly bob along to. Get some friends over and indulge in some good, honest fun. Red Dead Redemption It's only right to throw some\u00a0Red Dead Redemption\u00a0love in here. Rockstar's cowboy crusade drops the modern streets of\u00a0GTA, throws them through some saloon doors, and leaves them in the dirt\u2014along with some snakes and bears.\u00a0RDR\u00a0is basically\u00a0GTA\u00a0in the Wild West, and there's nothing wrong with that. The attention to detail is unmistakable and there's a completely different vibe. I feel only Rockstar could make such a drastic transition and still master it. The Nintendo Switch port is another excuse to get lost in a different era, but on the go. Blasphemous 2 Remember what I was saying about\u00a0Kirby\u00a0earlier? Games like that are refreshing because of extreme exercises in patience like\u00a0Blasphemous 2. Tough, punishing, and almost sadistic, The Game Kitchen has cooked up another feast of ferocity and fragility as your main character battles to survive. Grotesque enemies and vivid imagery are all part and parcel of\u00a0Blasphemous 2, and if you enjoyed its predecessor, then there's a whole lot of love (and hate) to consume here. Pikmin 4 The latest cutesy and low-key strategic\u00a0Pikmin\u00a0game arrived on July 21, 2023, and Dot Esports' Adam Newell has a lot love for it. \"Pikmin 4\u00a0springs the\u00a0Pikmin\u00a0series to new heights,\" Adam says. \"It brings back fan-favorite\u00a0Pikmin\u00a0gameplay mechanics, while providing a unique open-world twist to the formula. While it doesn\u2019t get everything right and is relatively easy to complete, the amount of content is unrivaled, and will have you playing for days to come.\" Sea of Stars One of 2023's standout stories, while simultaneously scooping the award for sleeper hit of the year, has to go to\u00a0Sea of Stars. Its enchanting art style is enough to sway most audiences, but in the words of Dot Esports' Scott Duwe: \"Sea of Stars\u00a0is a gorgeous modern rendition of the turn-based RPGs I grew up playing, like stepping into a time machine to relive the glory days.\" Yes, while the likes of\u00a0Final Fantasy\u00a0have moved on from turn-based combat, many are keeping the genre alive and well. I can only imagine how over the moon Sea of Stars' Sabotage Studio is with its reception. F-Zero 99 Tetris 99 was a bizarre battle royale concept, yet it proved to be a masterstroke. Fast forward to 2023, and we've had \"99\" versions of\u00a0Mario,\u00a0Pac-Man, and now\u00a0F-Zero. A notable thematical shift in\u00a0F-Zero 99\u00a0is the notion of last man standing. You all race, and you all finish, but in accordance with battle royale rules...there can only be one. You're presented then with the tried and tested\u00a0F-Zero\u00a0gameplay, subtly tweaked with some BR nuances, and the \"one more race\" itch will certainly eat away at you. Super Mario Bros. Wonder It's official, Nintendo has an inexhaustible factory line of innovation and fresh gameplay curves rivalling its contemporaries in any decade.\u00a0Super Mario Wonder\u00a0is an example of this as, from start to finish, the latest 2D\u00a0Mario\u00a0game lives and breaths ingenuity. Its deliciously engaging level-to-level design oozes with panache: one second you're gliding across a glacial land, and the next you're pummeling enemies with your trunk. It's elephantastic, another stellar entry in the\u00a0Super Mario\u00a0games, and a load of bull\u2014no, it has literal levels with bulls.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/best-nintendo-switch-games-2023-guide-e1699452519159.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1023476"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1023476"}],"version-history":[{"count":24,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1023476\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1060199,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1023476\/revisions\/1060199"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1023632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1023476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1023476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1023476"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1023476"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1023476"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1023476"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1023476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
