In 2022, the Nintendo Switch had a banner year of sales, and there are no signs of that trend abating anytime soon. Just in the last year, we’ve received Kirby and the Forgotten Land for the 3DS, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Kirby 3, Bayonetta 3, Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, Pokemon Arceus, and Scarlet/Violet, and more.
Nintendo is keeping its 2023 plans under wraps, but we do know about a few upcoming titles. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is one of them, along with Fire Emblem Engage and (fingers crossed) Advance Wars. The release dates for titles like Metroid Prime 4 and Pikmin 4 are still in the future.
In 2023, the Switch will be in its sixth year of availability, which is traditionally the console’s decline years. Nintendo has been said to be working on a new “Pro” version to help it compete with the more powerful competition, although this has yet to be confirmed. There are currently no hints from Nintendo that a new model is in the works or that the firm is even considering a follow-up.
Below is a comprehensive rundown of all the major releases planned for the Switch between now and 2023.

The poor performance of the Nintendo Switch will likely outlive the platform. Since the 2017 system hasn’t received a spec update to improve how games appear and operate, playing them means dealing with grainy, stuttering visuals. Also, in the five years plus since the Switch’s introduction, we’ve consistently mentioned the console’s lackluster aesthetics while discussing the finest titles available for it.
In contrast to Nintendo’s current software, which is larger, better, and more ambitious in scope than ever before, the Switch’s hardware is a limiting factor. Still, Nintendo’s approach to the Switch is the same as it was with its prior consoles in that it supports a low-powered device that is slowly updated.
In particular, the Switch, one of Nintendo’s best-selling systems ever, has benefited financially from this long-tail approach. To be sure, it’s long past time for a replacement version.
