Since its launch in March 2017, the Nintendo Switch has gone from strength to strength, even surpassing the sales of Nintendo's previous best-selling console in the US, the Wii. This becomes even more impressive due to the fact that it is massively underpowered compared to its two main rivals in the gaming console industry - PlayStation and Xbox. While it doesn't get exactly the same AAA titles as its rivals, it does have its own exclusives which are extremely popular, especially among young gamers. Nintendo recently held its Direct event where it showcased several games that are due to launch soon, despite the Switch now nearing the end of its life-cycle and the Switch 2 reportedly in development.

From Super Mario Bros. Wonder to Sonic Superstars, check out the upcoming Nintendo Switch games in 2023.

Sonic Superstars is an upcoming 3D platform game that is a modern take on the classic 2D action-packed Sonic games. In Sonic Superstars, players can choose from the four legacy characters - Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy Rose. Players can also wield Emerald powers to move and attack in either solo or multiplayer modes. Dr. Eggman and Fang return as the antagonists and they will be joined by a new adversary.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is an upcoming racing game and a sequel to 2021's extremely popular Hot Wheels Unleashed.
