Round Up: Everything Announced At The Game Awards 2023 - All Switch Game Reveals & Trailers

Basically nothing announced during the show itself I care about at all (maaaaybe that Mana game and Blade), but I got Harvest Moon 64 so I'm happy.

Nothing interesting for Nintendo this time around but Xbox and PS5 got a lot I'm excited to learn more about.

Nothing here that I care about.

I'm so happy to see that Shinobi is coming back after all these years. The art style and platforming looks absolutely fantastic.

Set Set Radio? JET SET RADIO?! Sega, if you pull this off, I'll pretend the last 20 years never existed!

I like how "F" is tied with "A" LOL.

I'm sorry for the NL staffers who had to cover the Keighlys tonight. Usually the announcements for Nintendo are pretty soft, but this year seemed weaker than ever before. I'll bet for Nintendo fans, that next Direct can't come soon enough.

I don't think it was particularly big for Switch but for other platforms, it was pretty good.

From this list, it’s the sega announcements. However, the Blade announcement really made me chill. The vibe of the trailer already got me.

Looking forward to Tales of Kenzera hoping there won’t be a lot of backtracking though. Prefer the Shinobi formula to Metroid. Excited for blade.

That tales of kenzera looked awesome. Shades of Metroid dread, ori, and the new prince of persia game.

Honestly nothing interested me at all in terms of Switch related content. Which to be honest didn't suprise me since the VGAs in the past rarely has any Nintendo content to get hyped about since the show caters mostly to the Xbox/Sony crowd.

As for non related Nintendo games Visions of Mana looks interesting will maybe pick that up for on my PS5 down the line.

The Game Awards have always tried to balance being an award show vs being a pseudo-E3 event, but this year's awards leaned waaaaayyyyy too hard in the "pseudo-E3" direction. Maybe spend less time on celebrities cracking bad jokes and more time actually allowing developers to accept their awards with an acceptance speech.

I’m also really curious how Metroid Prime 4 will hold up once it gets shown. Nintendo is really, really late to the new gen party and we’ve seen so many photorealistic games or world building games like No Man’s Sky, Warframe or Starfield that that attribute wont be the part where the game will stand out (compared to when Metroid Prime 1 did). It needs something more to get peoples attention.

I really expected a reveal of MP4 today.

The SEGA games announcement was the only thing that really stood out to me.

But seeing most the reveals was starting to make things painfully obvious that Nintendo really need to push their hardware power next gen or risk really being left behind, when it comes to 3rd party support.

I did find Spider-Man 2 not winning any awards mildly amusing though.

@locky-mavo No kidding. Sega for once has a bit curious for this new era. At best I was guessing it was going to be another Sonic announcement.

If Sega can revive their old classic with success, I might just believe this new energy era. Crazy Taxi and Jet Set has me happy.

Both were my first Xbox games.

Guess I'll be sticking to PC next year by the looks of things, unless there's a big announcement imminent, of course.. 🤞

Okay! Sega! Damn, did not expect it at all. But man, Sega was coming in hot with that trailer! Pff love all those games. Crazy taxi also loved that game.

Glad I didn't waste time watching this thing.
The Sega stuff is an interesting announcement but without footage it's kinda meaningless.

I think it's a pretty safe bet that Visions of Mana, Monster Hunter Wilds, Dragon Ball Sparkling etc are next gen Switch games, they just cant say it yet.

lol so basically nothing noteworthy.

I hope it's not too early to say they are back, but BY GOD THEY LOOK BACK!!

So that next Streets of Rage game... is it Streets of Rage 5 or some type of live service game?...

So much for the "zelda" remaster reveal so many youtubers were predicting

SEGA! Fantastic news

Glad this exists for people like me who didn't watch it

I have no interest with all those games above.

I give the score for the award with SUPER F, in other words DREADFUL !!

Wait, is that Mana game really not coming to Switch? I know it looks to be a vast open world, but still. I've never played the Mana series, but the new one looks incredible, so it's my most hype announcement.

@Not_Soos it's kinda obvious that its a Next Gen Switch game

I whispered to myself that it would indeed be a very very tough competition, tough enough to realize everyone was a winner. That fact is reinforced by Baldur's Gate 3's victory. A game that won that prize the same year it took the world by storm, and considering Zelda at least triumphed in Best Action-Adventure, it was still gratifying to see one of the most memorable Game Awards nights, maybe the best one in its 9-year history. Remember how things used to be 10 years ago:
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/12/soapbox_nintendos_appearance_at_vgx_underwhelmed_but_the_show_itself_was_far_worse

More importantly, the wild variety of creativity, quality, representation and gathering seen was a strong testament for the gaming industry, so much to serve as aspiration.
But then there's a worrying feeling about Nintendo becoming increasingly irrelevant on these gaming celebrations, up until they stay up to date with their hardware. The amount of games unveiled here is good reason to finally upgrade, please...

World of Goo is an all time fav Indie of mine. Would love to see the sequel.on the Switch. The SEGA reboots have me very interested. I hope they come to Switch and that SEGA don't mess them up. Prince looks decent. That's it.

That SEGA trailer sounds promising but I can't help but think that one or two of those games might turn out underwhelming due to how highly regarded each of those IP are to fans. We'll see, hopefully I'll be proved wrong. As a fan of JSRF, i hope it turns out ok.

I am so stoked to see World of Goo 2!
I never thought I’d see the day 🥲

I’m super happy about finally getting another Crazy Taxi after all these years!

Now to hope that it’s not a live service game like it was rumored to be.

@Lizuka
OMG, this xD
Love farm sims but never played it before. Really excited to play it!

I just looked back through my comments on this site and on Oct 27th I accurately predicted the results of the Game Awards (except for thinking FF16 would be nominated for GOTY). No matter how successful Nintendo is, or how much they prove their worth for gamers of all kinds, nothing ever changes with how much the Game Awards under-represents them...

I'm glad I read this page just to get the line super F from anti matter. I needed to laugh!

I'm kinda put out because TOTK didn't win every award ever, but it's OK because I know how endlessly amazing it is!

@FishyS @MetalMan And now it's the most voted option.

Edit: WAS the most voted option.

Hopefully we'll hear more of Sega soon. Skies of Arcadia is calling for a remastering.

Sega pulling an all-out attack but forgot about Skies of Arcadia.
Blade and Jurassic Park Survival are my favorites from this event.

Prince of persia looks pretty good. I feel it might be a good contender for the best 2D game for Switch, possibly with Metroid Dread.

@Friendly
I'm sure Prime 4 will be a big thing. I hope it would be a swansong for the OG Switch. As for the launch title for the next Nintendo console, I believe it will be Mario's next 3D game.

I gave it an A as I'm also a playstation gamer which the PS5 came away with the most to look forward to from that show, but for Nintnedo stuff only yeah it was an E at most. Even more of a reason the Switch 2 needs to come out soon and be quite powerful spec wise.

Though I expect a few games to be announced for the Switch at the next Direct.

Whoa a sega bomb. Who was expecting that? Epic!

My favorite WOULD have been World of Goo 2 if it really had been announced for Switch. :-/

I couldn’t have popped off harder for Thrasher when I saw it. I don’t know if I’ve ever popped off harder for a sequel than Thrasher, since Thumper is definitely high up there for my favorite games of all time. Rhythm violence is back and it looks funky!

As for games announced for Switch, Rise of the Golden Idol looks great. Hoping this one is a native port, given that Case felt like they wanted to rush a Switch release during the hype of it, by making a Cloud version. For some reason, I feel optimistic that Rise of the Golden Idol won’t be running on Cloud, but at least its also available through Netflix.

Ubisoft Original...
EA Original...

Tales of Persia ?
Prince of Kenzera ?

Is it the same team behind those games ? XD

I didn't watch it. I got all of my news about it from this site. Zelda won, BG3 won, a new Mana was announced and some other games from this article. I can't really give it a grade.

I'm interested in how Big Walk turns out. Untitled Goose Game was so good. My partner and I had a blast playing the co-op mode. So many goosey shenanigans. But I have no idea what Big Walk is like or how it will play with friends. We need more info, House House!

Unfortunately I have no interest in these games. Visual novels, FPS's and RPG'S for me. I'm getting a Series S at the end of the month to catch up on current gen games I've been wanting to play such as Starfield, Atomic Heart, Terminator: Resistance, RoboCop: Rogue City, Cyberpunk 2077 amongst many others.

@alanahagues, is NintendoLife going to cover Rocket League removing trading? It seems this Rocket Racing is the reason why it was removed at Epic's request. Strange reason to eliminate half a game's community. I thought for sure NintendoLife would have an article about it, since it was such a big and important part of the game for so long.

The new game announcements did make it feel like popular gaming was beginning to leave the Switch behind. I guess that would happen at the end of the year before new hardware from Nintendo is arriving and no one can talk about games they are working on to target that hardware.

The variety and artistry in gaming is really impressive and what was awarded and showcased represented that pretty well.

The show is in constant flux. Maybe it won't need to have big announcements to draw people in, but despite people complaining about the time actually given to awarding awards compared to the promotion, I'm guessing the viewership would not even be close to sustaining the expense if it was just awards.

In time, if enough people respect the work, it could shed some of the hours of promotion during the show itself.

I'm excited for the Sega games but I'm also not getting my hopes too high.

Some of these games haven't been announced for Switch, as the article itself points out. Yet the headline makes it seem like they are all but confirmed. Basically there is almost nothing to report on for Switch, and that's fine, because we have Directs for that.

Some fun reveals and trailers, though mostly for other consoles (Metaphor, MH Wilds, Mana, etc.). Lots to look forward to.
Awardees were mostly acceptable, though it's been clear for years that their process favors specific kinds of games, and Nintendo just doesn't make them.

I don't watch things that involve Keighley

It does suck that this is now the new dumping ground for trailers that don't make it to events made by the big 3. I know a lot of folks feel E3 is irrelevant but this is when I miss it most.

Too bad Pizza Tower didn't win best debut game of 2023. Then again, it's not on the Switch. Then again, it's good to know that Gonzo the Great does play Tears of the Kingdom. He just can't get past the whole "Follow the Cucco" mission.

Then again, he's a total weirdo, and proud of it!

TGA '23 showed me that Nintendo needs to announce Switch 2 soon. All of the most interesting multiplat games were not on Switch.

Quite a few titles for me! The sega ones (SoR, Shinobi especially and Golden Axe) but also Prince of Persia and Tales of Kenzera: ZAU also look my thing. Definitely enough for this ol' Xennial. I don't really play 3d games due to heavy motion sickness but the trailers for those sorts look good too!

So far the Sega announcement is what made me the most surprised out of the whole show, so I voted for that.

best trailer of the show was for atlas new rpg metaphor defantazio coming out in 2024 for the xbox and ps and pc...

Nice showing and surprises from SEGA. They have so much good IP. Hope they don't drop the ball.

Crazy Taxi let's GOOOOO!!!!!

I hope they get The Offsping back

Good to see Sega is bringing back old franchises. Would love to see them make new Alex Kidd, Wonder Boy and Dynamite Dux games. I am glad Palia is coming to Switch and I have seen and heard a lot of good things about it and am looking forward to being able to play it.

@ottoecamn
They showed footage of all those saga games in the announcement trailer btw.

B+ I think.
Nintendo didn't bring anything but they often only announce DLC anyway.
Generally a great show, the music performances were 🔥, had some exciting announcements. Metaphor, Senua, Kenzera and Prince of Persia all look fantastic!

i can't vote because i've 3: sega remakes, prince of persia and world of goo 2

Bring back Shining Force!
