Video: 8 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In January

I forgot the two Persona games were releasing in January. I will get them both as well as Fire Emblem. It'll have to be staggered because of game budgeting issues, but it'll be ASAP. Oh and Breakers Collection as well, most likely. Pretty good month straight off the bat for 2023

Will probably end up picking up both Persona titles.

Also mildly interested in Risen, but I’m worried this will be a garbage port. We have roughly 3 weeks until it comes out. Have we even gotten any Switch screenshots/gameplay? With it coming to PS4/XB1/PC I doubt the video is specific to the Switch.

Looking forward to Persona 3 and Engage!

Definitely waiting for reviews on FE: Engage. I've said it plenty, but I'm tired of Fire Emblem games that revolve around past characters, and would much rather enjoy a new story that develops new characters and doesn't try to cash in on nostalgia. Also don't want another weird dating mode. Tea time in Three Houses turned me off too. Engage will have to get extremely good reviews to pull me back in.

I don't understand how we live in a world where not only do I need to choose between playing Persona 4 and 3 on the same day, but I have to choose whether to play one of those OR a new Fire Emblem the day after.

UGH

Unfortunately the Persona's are digital only.

Also your dates are saying 2022

Kind of difficult to be excited for Persona 3 Portable when the Persona 3 Remake is a year or two away. Other than that, I have my eye on A Space for the Unbound.

Persona 4 Golden and Fire Emblem Engage are what I'm picking up.

I still have Persona 3 for my PSP so I really dont need to buy it again for my Nintendo Switch Lite. I also still have Persona 4 for my Playstation 3

@Bret you an I must live in different planets then. This is literally the first Fire Emblem (not including spin offs) that brings characters from past games. Also you know what's the beauty about tea time in Three Houses? That is OPTIONAL

Both Personas and Fire Emblem for sure. Moonrider also looks good. Great month to start the year.

I was all in on Engage but I'm just going to wait it out first. I don't like the mobile game feel with the cameos I'm getting from it. Don;t get me wrong — I'm likely buying it but I'm just waiting first. For all the previews for it, I still feel like I haven't seen enough proper gameplay yet. I feel like it's just been a bunch of cinematics and character reveals. I know next to nothing about the game come to think of it. Maybe that's my own fault...

Honestly, I'd love a good ol' remaster of Radiant Dawn. A good classic Fire Emblem that I can play on the go or on the TV.
:: salivating ::

I'm not even done with persona 5 yet, that game is long as hell just to beat. But 3 and 4 will be on gamepass so I won't have to buy them. As for fire emblem, I still haven't played 3 houses and will play that before I get the new one, of course if it reviews well

@shinokami Weird, I didn't know Awakening and Fates were spinoffs. Three Houses is the ONLY mainline game that doesn't feature past heroes since Awakening came out.

Persona 4 and, maybe, Persona 3 only.

I don´t want Fire Emblem anymore.

I just hope they put separate audio sliders for music, VA, etc into the Persona ports. I'd love to play those games, but lyrics in my game music annoy me too much.

Will pick Engage only.

Nothing here for me. Which is good for the ol’ wallet.

I’m waiting on Engage. Looks insipid so far.

Yay, Risen! Now give us the Gothic games, please.

Just getting Engage. It’s too bad the Persona games are digital only

Fire Emblem Engage

(and Forspoken on PS5.)

Engage for sure with Fem!Corrin Amiibo. And I'll wait on physical releases for P4G and P3P.

I'll be getting the Persona games for replays down the road in later 2023.

Engage is one I'll keep my eye on, because I don't trust the series after the string of waifu focused entries dating back to Awakening. And because Nintendo continues to hold back the actual good strategy game in Advance Wars Reboot Camp.

While annoyed, I'm kinda glad the Persona games are digital only, as it eliminates my compulsion to buy them despite owning them on other systems.

Fire Emblem Engage I will get some day, but in no rush for it.

Everything else on this list is a potential purchase at some point, so let's see how they shape up.

Happy 2023 gaming everyone 🥳

Breakers, Persona 3 & 4 as well as Fire Emblem Engage? Sounds like a good January to me.

I'm probably going to get Persona 3 and Fire Emblem Engage. I played Persona 4 Golden on Steam a little while ago so I might wait for a sale on that one.

Okay, fine, I’ll be the first to say I’m excited about SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake.

Not getting oddballers or spongebob but the rest are on lock.

I will keep my eyes on that Spongebob game on PS5 version.

I have moved on to pc for my multiplats, but if you can only really play it on the switch, persona 3 and 4 are great. My favorite of the series is 3 personally. It handles its themes well. Persona has been a good series for a long time, I am happy that more can access it.
P.S. Persona 1 and 2 are much more hardcore rpgs, no social sim systems. But if you like dungeon crawling rpgs, they are good, but 2 has issues with way to frequent random battles.

Hell yeah gonna be a great first month with Engage and Persona 3! Already have Persona 4 Golden on the Vita, would order that too if I didn't XD.

How many of these persona is Physical?

P4G is tempting but Fire Emblem lost me during three houses. Everything that happened in the monastery was so boring.

I hope Qubyte does a better job with Breakers Collection than they did with their other ports.

Hey that’s not a bad January!! I’m trying to be good - it’s the Summer of Backlog here in Australia - but most of these look quality.

I’ll pick up P3 at some point as I loved the original on PS2 but never finished it. Breakers collection as well probably.
