The last month of the year will bring 12 exciting games to Nintendo Switch
Though these are the titles we can’t wait to get our hands on, this is by no means an exhaustive list of games that will be available on the Nintendo Switch in December 2023. You can actually purchase each of the three Batman games—Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight—individually. Yes, we are aware that the table below only has ten titles.
It’s unclear as of yet whether there will be more games available because the video below only includes the most recent information.
Here is a deeper look into the games coming to Nintendo Switch this month:
Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince (1st of December):
A spin-off series of the Dragon Quest games. It sets the player in a medieval/fantasy world filled with magic, monsters, and knights. Unlike the original Dragon Quest games, the player’s character does not do any of the fighting in battles; instead, the player has to rely on capturing, breeding, and raising monsters to do the fighting for them.
SteamWorld Build (1st of December):
