Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games

The Nintendo Switch has been a runaway success, proving that raw power is not the be-all and end-all for consoles. Through a combination of Nintendo’s first-party games, a solid selection of triple-A third-party titles, and all the indie projects anyone could ever want, the Switch has amassed a stellar library that can match most platforms in terms of quality and quantity.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey are two of the greatest games of the last decade, but there is always a chance that the best Switch game has yet to be released. 2022 was overall a pretty good year for Nintendo’s hybrid console, and the same can be said for 2023. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid Prime Remastered, Pikmin 4, and Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp are all console exclusives, and they will be joined by a few more major titles before the end of the year.

Here’s a look at all the major titles we can expect to see on the Nintendo Switch in 2023 and beyond. Which big Nintendo Switch games have release dates? Please note the focus is on North American release dates.

December 2023 Nintendo Switch Games

December might not usually be one of the most jam-packed months of the year, but that does not mean Nintendo Switch owners have nothing to look forward to.
