Nintendo’s announced 2023 lineup for Nintendo Switch includes Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe, which is a remake of the 2011 Wii game; Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon, a fairy tale-inspired adventure starring a young Bayonetta; and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the sequel to Breath of the Wild. Those three games are all slated for the first half of 2023. Pikmin 4, a new entry in the long-running strategy/action series, is scheduled for release sometime this year.

Also on Nintendo’s slate, but still without a date, is Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, a remake of two Game Boy Advance-era Advance Wars games. After a substantial delay, the Advance Wars collection for Switch is rumored to be coming soon.

Of course, Nintendo also has some other big plans for 2023, including the opening of the Super Nintendo Land theme park at Universal Studios Hollywood on Feb. 17, and the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie on April 7.
