Nintendo plans to replicate the success of the Switch's debut year in 2023 with exciting releases Brace yourself for new Mario and Zelda games, promising an immersive gaming experience that will captivate fans once again
Nintendo appears to be aiming to replicate the success of 2017 for the Switch with upcoming titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and Everybody 1-2 Switch. After struggling to provide a consistent lineup of high-quality games for the Wii U, Nintendo made sure to avoid making the same mistake with the Nintendo Switch, the hybrid device that functions as both a home console and handheld device. The Switch had a successful launch in 2017, debuting with the highly anticipated game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It also featured a party game called 1-2 Switch, designed to showcase the console's unique motion controls and features. To cap off the year, Nintendo released Super Mario Odyssey, which was widely praised by critics and gamers alike, solidifying the strong start for the new gaming system.
New Mario and Zelda Games for Switch This Year
: The Nintendo Switch, which has become one of the highest-selling consoles in history, served as a monumental success for Nintendo after the disappointing sales of the Wii U. Despite the enduring popularity of the Switch, anticipation looms for a potential successor console expected to be released in 2024. With 2023 likely marking the final year of significant success for the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo intends to bid farewell to the console in a fashion reminiscent of its impactful arrival. This entails the launch of a fresh Zelda installment, a new Mario game, and even a revamped 1-2 Switch experience.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Available now
Nintendo has some major releases lined up for 2023, following the success of their new main series Zelda and Mario games in 2017. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has already delighted fans and received high praise, joining the ranks of the best video games ever made. With the success of Breath of the Wild in 2017, it will be fascinating to see the response to Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and if it will match the acclaim of Super Mario Odyssey.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom serves as a direct continuation to Breath of the Wild, while Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario Odyssey offer distinct experiences within the Super Mario franchise. Super Mario Odyssey presents a 3D platforming adventure, whereas Super Mario Bros. Wonder presents itself as a classic 2D side-scroller. As a result, critics may not view Super Mario Bros. Wonder as favorably, but Nintendo enthusiasts can anticipate its release this October.
Interestingly, the lineup for the Nintendo Switch in 2023 reflects that of 2017, with a new Zelda installment in the first half of the year and a fresh Mario release in the autumn. Given the numerous other games already released and those still on the horizon, Switch owners will likely regard 2023 as one of the console's phenomenal years.
