by Ready to pick up the best Switch games this year? Our favorite console has a rope for a while, and, after several years of postponed releases in some of its best titles, now it seems that everything is ready for us to enjoy a year full of first-line releases.
1. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
It is clear that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is one of the most anticipated games for the Nintendo Switch in 2023, especially considering the impressive success of its predecessor, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The latest news we have from Nintendo suggests that the new Zelda title will be published in May 2023. They have even specified the exact day, which seems to be very good news. Are the delays over with the release of this game?
2. Trinity Trigger
Less well known than the Zelda series, but just as exciting, is the Trinity Trigger. It is an action RPG that has already been published in Japan and is having enormous success in our favorite country. It will be available in Europe and Latin America in a very short time, with impressive graphics and gameplay that promises to be surprisingly dynamic.
3.Minecraft Legends
Few games can boast the sales figures of Minecraft, which has become one of the most recognizable and popular video games of all time. However, Mojang has decided not to rest on its laurels and will launch shortly –it is believed that in April– a new installment of minecraft with a totally different gameplay. This time the sandbox type gameplay is left aside and replaced by an action strategy game where you will have to fight against the Piglins.
4.Advance Wars 1+2
Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp will include updated versions of the first two games in the Advance Wars series, originally released on the Game Boy Advance. You will have different types of units with unique abilities, such as infantry, tanks, planes, and ships. The game features a single player campaign with a unique story and missions, as well as online and local multiplayer.
5. Rune Factory 3 Special
Rune Factory 3 Special is a life simulation RPG game where you will arrive in the small town of Sharance in search of adventure. You will find everything you like to see in an RPG combined with the best features of a farming game, so you can not only explore dungeons, but also take care of your crops or raise monsters. It’s a kind of Stardew Valley, much more immersive… and in a big way.
6. Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key
It is clear that Ryza is the favorite video game protagonist for many of us, who have closely followed her previous adventures like Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout or Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy. Its open world promises to be much more extensive than those of the previous titles, and its launch is expected in March of this year, with graphics that you will really love.
7. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is based on JRR Tolkien’s epic fantasy novels. It will have Andy Serkis to once again capture the gestures and voice of Gollum, who becomes the true protagonist in this new title of the franchise. As with other games on this list, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was scheduled for a 2021 release, though it has ultimately been pushed to 2023.
8. Hollow Knight: Silksong
The sequel to the popular Hollow Knight, called Hollow Knight: Silk Song, was first announced in February 2019. It’s been quite a while since then, but it looks like 2023 will be the final year of its release. During the Xbox Showcase in June 2022, Silksong was listed among the games that would be released in 2023, so it really looks like this will be the year! Are you ready to enjoy all the adventures of your favorite ‘hollow’ knight?
9. Metal Slug Tactics
In this new Metal Slug title, the ‘shoot and run’ dynamic that made this game so popular is maintained. Development is handled by Leikir Studio, and the soundtrack is handled by the Sonic Mania composer. With graphics on par with what you’d expect in 2023, Metal Slug Tactics is set to be one of the most exciting titles of the year… as long as its release isn’t delayed again.
10. Sea of Stars
Launch plans for the Sea of Stars were affected by the pandemic. It was supposed to be released in 2022, but it has been delayed until 2023. With an aesthetic characteristic of classic 16-bit RPG games, Sea of Stars will offer a much more dynamic gameplay that will make you have a great time with one of the games most anticipated retro style for your favorite console in 2023.
