Objectively 2023:
- Tears of the Kingdom and Mario Wonder-- two of the best games of the generation.
- Metroid Prime Remaster-- sets the bar for remasters with one of the greatest games ever.
- Super Mario RPG-- remake of an icon.
- Pikmin 4-- the biggest step forward the franchise has taken since it began.
- Fire Emblem Engage-- not much of a full entry in the series but more of a celebration of it; the worst Fire Emblem game is still better than the majority of SRPGS.
- Future Redeemed-- one of the best expansions of the generation for Nintendo's flagship RPG series.
Personally 2022: Xenoblade 3, Fire Emblem: Three Hopes, Bayonetta 3, Pokemon Legends Arceus, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope and Triangle Strategy are all more in my wheelhouse. Also NieR: Automata, if I ever needed a portable version.
