Some of them are big remakes; others are new takes on classic formulas, but all are worth trying at least once. So, here are the top 5 games coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2023 that no one should miss.

Minecraft Legends (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC – 18 April 2023)

This game is set in Tolkien’s fantasy world but shows it to players from a very different perspective, that of Gollum. Players would travel day and night through this mysterious land of Middle Earth to find their precious.

As they travel, they will be able to witness a bunch of world-changing events that they are already aware of from a very different perspective.

Pikmin 4 (Nintendo Switch – 21 July 2023)

Another one of Nintendo’s long-running strategy series enters a new generation with Pikmin 4. The game is, as usual, a real-time strategy title with a bunch of new gameplay mechanics added to keep things fresh.
