Welcome to a new year of gaming with Pure Nintendo! We hope your new year has started with a bang! Our first playlist for 2023 includes everything from sailing adventures to Mario Kart, with a healthy does of TMNT for good measure.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, sailing. Sail Forth is here to bring an open-world adventure to the waters. With a Windwaker feel to it, plenty of isles to discover, and even dolphins to follow, this is quite a unique title.<\/p>\n

Oh, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe \u2013 is there anything you can\u2019t do? This game showed a renewed interest from the team last year thanks to the first three waves of DLC content. We got together for a game night recently and spent a lot of time on the road. It\u2019s as good as ever; and now that we\u2019ve had so many new tracks to enjoy, revisiting the original feels fresh again!<\/p>\n

With two major releases last year, Pok\u00e9mon is bound to be on our playlist for a while. We\u2019re playing both 2022 titles as we continue to enjoy Arceus and Scarlet\/Violet. Who knows what 2023 holds for this franchise?<\/p>\n

The only question left to ask is: which games are you playing at the moment? Perhaps this year will be the year you can catch up on that backlog \u2026 we tell ourselves the same thing every year! For now, let us know the titles on your playlist.<\/p>\n

• Sail Forth<\/strong> (Switch) \u2013 Really enjoying this sailing game \u2013 it\u2019s got some Windwaker Vibes. I love how it\u2019s an open world, and while there\u2019s a story to be told in this game, a lot of how the narrative unfolds is how you play the game, making your own adventures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  • Children of Silentown<\/strong> (Switch) \u2013 Nearing the end of this puzzle adventure ahead of its January 11t release, and I\u2019ll be sad when it\u2019s over. If you\u2019ve ever loved a Daedalic game, you\u2019ll love this one, too. My review next week will have all the wonderful details.<\/li>\n
  • Rumble Fish 2<\/strong> (Switch) \u2013 I don\u2019t normally go for arcade fighting games, but our original reviewer was injured in\u2026we\u2019ll say training\u2026so I\u2019m stepping into the fight. We\u2019ll find out soon enough whether I\u2019m able to go the distance.<\/li>\n
  • Nintendo Switch Sports (Switch) \u2013 My family\u2019s traditional New Year\u2019s Eve gaming night rekindled our interest in this, and that means we\u2019ll be spamming it for a while. I\u2019ve given up on ever beating my kids in some of the games, but I think I can take them in golf with a little more practice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    • Mario Kart 8 DX (Switch) \u2013 I posted a highlight of this on the PN Twitter, so be sure to check it out.<\/li>\n
    • Papetura<\/strong> (Switch) \u2013 This is quite a good game, and if my review isn\u2019t posted by the time this list is up, it will be soon after.<\/li>\n
    • Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Arceus (Switch) \u2013 My runner-up for GOTY, I\u2019ve been slowly building my Pokedex\u2026when my wife isn\u2019t busy playing; she\u2019s well ahead of me.<\/li>\n
    • TMNT: Shredder\u2019s Revenge (Switch) \u2013 A favorite among the PN crew, I got to play online a bit with Jemma and Justin. I\u2019ll need to revisit The Cowabunga Collection next and check out the update.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      • Pok\u00e9mon Violet (Switch) \u2013 I am loving this game. It just makes me happy. The music, the vast open spaces, the Pok\u00e9mon.. it\u2019s just pure joy. I\u2019m still working my way through the Titans, so this is a game I\u2019ll be playing for some time!<\/li>\n
      • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Switch) \u2013 I can never get enough Mario Kart, but the latest DLC gives us all a pretty good reason to pick it up again! We spent some time with new and old courses in a recent Pure Nintendo game night. Sorry, Trev! You can also read my thoughts on wave 3 of the booster course pass.<\/li>\n
      • TMNT: Shredder\u2019s Revenge (Switch) \u2013 This was one of my highlights of 2022 and another game night inclusion. It\u2019s so satisfying to play with friends!<\/li>\n
      • River City Girls 2<\/strong> (Switch) \u2013 I\u2019m reviewing this interesting beat \u2019em up at the moment. It has so many postives, but one negative that unfortunately mars the experience. Watch for my review soon!<\/li>\n
      • Bravery and Greed<\/strong> (Switch) \u2013 Another review title, this is a fun roguelike with great pixel graphics and lots of plundering to do. Watch for my upcoming review!<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n
