It’s been a fantastic year for the Nintendo Switch. We got new Super Mario games, some great remasters, ports of a few games that previously blew up on PC, and, of course, an absolutely massive sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Even though the Nintendo Switch’s successor is likely just around the corner, there’s no shortage of great games to play on the Switch you might already own. Nintendo can take all the time it needs to launch its next console; whenever that comes out, I’ll probably still be working through quests in Tears of the Kingdom.
Here are some of the best Nintendo Switch games from 2023.
Advance Wars 1 + 2 Re-Boot Camp packages up the original Game Boy Advance games and spruces them up with some modern-day improvements. The maps have significantly updated graphics that make them look like tabletop board games, and Nintendo added things like a map designer and the ability to play online multiplayer to make two long games even longer. If you need a good strategy game on Switch, well, Re-Boot Camp has two.
Dave the Diver shouldn’t work — but it absolutely does. Much of the game features roguelike spearfishing exploration where you have to hunt fish and search for treasures underwater. That’s a lot of fun on its own, but pretty much everything you find can then be used to bolster a sushi restaurant, which you operate like a Diner Dash time management game. It creates a loop that’s incredibly fun to dive into — and the charming graphics, art, and characters make it all the more fun to play.
Metroid Prime Remastered is a fantastic version of an already fantastic game. Everything great about Retro Studios’ brilliant GameCube title is present in this Nintendo Switch update, but it also has upgraded graphics and a dual-stick control scheme. We’re still waiting for any substantial news about Metroid Prime 4 following that game’s development reboot in 2019. In the meantime, Metroid Prime Remastered is great for people who never played the original and for veterans who have already explored every nook and cranny of Tallon IV.
I had lofty expectations for Tears of the Kingdom, a sequel to the incredible Breath of the Wild, but the game exceeded them. Even though Tears takes place in the same Hyrule as Breath of the Wild, Nintendo made it feel fresh by packing it with interesting new shrines, quests, characters, and enemies. I loved exploring both the new Sky Islands and underground Depths. And Link’s new powers, including the ability to build almost anything you can imagine with Ultrahand, let me break the game in ways
