Unbelievable. There must be some strange phenomenon that makes time go by faster and faster. It’s either the planet spinning ever faster or technological advances and the proliferation of communication networks that have changed our perception. there must be an explanation! It’s true, we haven’t even done the dishes for New Year’s Eve 2022 (and at this point I think it’s better to throw it away) when the first day of 2023 is already looming on the horizon. It’s crazy. I’m already preparing the New Year’s news for 2024 – otherwise, I know I don’t have time.
While you wait for us to give you our take on the Nintendo year with just a few more days to go, below is the list of great games expected to come to Nintendo Switch in 2023. Obviously, this list is far from complete and is expected to grow over the months. Do not hesitate to enrich it in the comments.
Nintendo Switch Exclusives of 2023
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom – Released May 12, 2023
The title alone is enough to convey the excitement and impatience that has been moving us for almost 6 years. We could stop here too, as it’s all in the title: Tears, One Kingdom, Zelda… What else? with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, we inevitably expect something other than a Breath of The Wild-like. The game needs to set its own narrative and new standards. A priori, many of us are hoping that Nintendo manages to balance BOTW’s immense sense of freedom with more classic elements from previous episodes. For more tears read our pavement and for more information see our special news.
Pikmin 4 – Released in 2023
This is one of the nice surprises of the year recently unveiled. The famous Pikmin 4 which should be ready by the time of the Wii U, is finally due to appear on Nintendo Switch in 2023. Not much is known about the game at the moment, except that the camera will be much closer to the characters and thus the creatures will appear huge to us… We can’t wait! More info with our special news.
Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon – Published on March 17, 2023
Another surprise, another atmosphere, our beloved witch (already) returns to Nintendo Switch and still exclusive! However, it’s a very different spin-off than the main games. Taking the form of a fantastic story with a promising graphic style, it will allow us not to direct bayonet but Cereza (actually bayonet young). Lost in an enchanted forest full of evil fairies, the little witch must join forces with her first demon, Chouchou, to solve his mysteries… Certainly a game to watch very closely. More info with our special news.
Fire Emblem Engage – Released January 20, 2023

Disney Illusion Island – Coming in 2023
We want thatEpic Mickey (the first opus, still exclusive to Wii) is coming back to consoles, but until Disney decides, a new game starring Mickey is coming in 2023, exclusively for Nintendo Switch. It is a 2D platformer playable for up to four players that takes the graphic style and characters from the animated series The Wonderful World of Mickey and is inspired by the game mechanics of the latest 2D Rayman. We hope for a good surprise! More info with our special news.
Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe – Out February 24, 2023
The world needs more Kirbys. It is obvious. Luckily Nintendo is here and when it’s gone there’s more.

The game always features the same playable adventure for up to four players, as well as some new features, including a new power that allows Kirby to wear mecha armor and bonus mini-games. You don’t have to get into a ball, it’s already a safe bet. More info with our special news.
WHITE – Released February 14, 2023
Playable in pairs, Blanc invites us to guide a wolf cub and a fawn in black and white and entirely hand-drawn environments. The game aims to be a moving and poetic cooperative epic. A game that looks very nice and has great potential. We are waiting feverishly, with pounding hearts… More info with our special news.

It’s the kind of unlikely game you can only find on Nintendo consoles.
