Best Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games
The year 2023 has undoubtedly been a packed one for the Nintendo Switch. We’ve already witnessed the launch of Fire Emblem Engage, Persona ports, Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, Octopath Traveler II, and the surprise drop of Metroid Prime Remastered.Â
Not to forget the Deluxe edition of a beloved Kirby classic and the long-awaited arrival of Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Pikmin 4. But there’s still more to come!
Why Does the Nintendo Switch Remain Popular?
Many people wonder why the Nintendo Switch continues to enjoy popularity, even though it’s been around for a while and doesn’t boast top-tier graphics. One key reason is the lack of handheld gaming consoles currently on the market.
- The Steam Deck, its main rival, comes with a hefty price tag.
- Another significant factor is Nintendo’s treasure trove of exclusive games, adored by fans worldwide.
Nevertheless, let’s focus on the main question: What are the best upcoming Switch games for October 2023? Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store:
