Every year at this time, the The Game Awards 2023 have already passed. Fortunately, there were some strong nominations for all of you Switch and mobile players. However, they were up against fierce competition in every category. There were two Switch titles vying for the prestigious title of Game of the Year.
No one was surprised that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario: Wonder were in the running, as shown by our reviews of Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario: Wonder. Both the much awaited Breath of the Wild sequel and the first new classic side-scrolling Super Mario game since New Super Mario Bros. U in 2012 were sure to be hits, as seen by the sheer volume of nominations for both games.
Of course, there are other thrilling aspects of The Game prizes than the prizes themselves. This year's display will once again include dozens of exclusive trailers, as is customary. In 2024 and beyond, there will be a tonne of amazing games available on mobile and Nintendo Switch platforms.
