My Thoughts:

Yeah, so nothing really to the 26th which I do have off and will be getting the Collectors Edition of Monster Hunter Rise. I will say though on that day as Kaze looks like it might be a good Sonic-like, remember Freedom Planet on Wii U, and then we have Balan which I still kinda want to play, yet I'm going to wait till its cheap cheap.

Will also mention I have heard good things about Saviors Of Sapphire Wings/ Stranger Of Sword City Revisited just not sure if I want those sorts of games at the moment, just may be worth a look at a trailer for a Balla or Rum.

My Thoughts:

I like the look of Maquette a lot, hence why I picked it up for Fantasy League, just I won't be playing till I get a PS5 or the timed deal runs out.

The two Next-Gen updates interest me, just I would want to pick up Avengers for around £10 and Crash 4 for about £20 which I might be able to find on eBay, much like I did with Control. I'm glad to see Stubbs comeback as it's a bit of a cult classic OG Xbox game which is rather expensive and now like a lot of you can play at a reasonable cost.

The entertainment stuff looks good such as The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, I'm really curious why no DVD version of Wonder Woman 1984 unless the thinking is people would have bought on DVD already paid to watch and only peeps buying are ones that want it in a collection with lovely picture quality. I did put Snyder Cut Justice League down on the list, just I have no idea how we watch in the UK legally.

What I'm actually buying is all six amiibo and the MonHan Rise Pro controller, nothing else unless an indie or what not comes out.

What about you guys?

My eyes pretty much glazed over after your picture at the top of the post. I'm really thinking about updating my Switch with that Monster Hunter one as well . . .

It's the only thing MonHan Rise I'm not buying.

Are you getting the big-ass dog plush? I would be extremely jealous of that . . .

I want it, just not sure where I would put it

I would take it literally everywhere in my house that I went so that wouldn't be an issue

Wow that's a bad month. Pretty glad I've caved and ordered P5S after all

What are you playing on PS5? As did see them back in stock and was close to ordering one from Amazon but wasn't much that was hey I need to play this especially with Xbox backlog along with new games on that such as Little Nightmares II and Switch games such as Bravely Default II & MonHan Rise.

So far I'm sticking to till it has a bunch of games but I'll likely cave for Ratchet.

I said P5S, not PS5

My up at 4.30am brain is not working correctly.

This thread title is my best contribution to the forum I will ever likely have

Big month because of BALAN WON- um, MONSTER HUNTER RISE. I am very excited

No shame in that at all.

What's Tanuki Justice and where can I get some!?  It's a more appealing name than Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r] at least.

I'll be getting two games this month: Monster Hunter Rise and, er, Monster Hunter Rise.  The plan is to present copy 2 to The Lady as a fait accompli and encourage her to play it with me in local co-op that way.  Nothing for solo Balla this month, however.  Not unless Tanuki Justice turns out to be the world-beater it sounds like. (EDIT: It looks like an action-platformer and the trailer has one of the worst pieces of gaming music I've heard. Not a promising start.)

I would have made this exact mistake regardless of awakeitude.

Yuk at all those [Code in a box], the only thing worse than not getting a physical game is getting a useless box instead to remind you it's not actually a physical game.

All about Monster Hunter here too, can't promise I'll definitely stick with it as that voice in the head keeps telling me I won't have the time for it but for now it's all systems go, I could be tempted by the Pro Controller too as I feel I want a second one soon.

Only positive I have for Code in a Box is most of them are £9.99 (Not Apex) which I'm sure makes things like Super Lucky cheaper then getting straight from the eShop.

Just seems a waste of a plastic case, paper cover and the slip the code will be on. Like why not just make the game cheaper on the eShop, can only think gift ideas of hey here's a cheap Switch game for little timmy.

Yeah I think gift ideas is the only real benefit of it, anyone who would want it as a collector wouldn't want to not have the game included.

It's just to pacify the shops as they convulse through their death throes.

THPS 1+2 Remaster is getting a next-gen upgrade where it be 60fps/4K or 120fps/1080p, this is coming on the 26th.

If you have the deluxe version already you get upgrade for free otherwise it's a £10 upgrade fee, a physical version is also coming.

The Switch version is coming at some point this year.

I don't often update after I've put the list up, just thought some of you might be keen on THPS also I've got a feeling because March is the end of the fiscal year, I can see a few games coming out now like Nintendo Indie World put out Feb issue which has some games listed to be coming, and we've seen Rainbow Six Parasite appear on PSN.

April will go up this weekend, and I've had a quick look what's coming which includes a couple of remasters, a new version of a N64 classic, first sort big PS5 exclusive of the year and a loot shooter.

Name ideas like always please.

We're All Snapping Primeape and Rillaboom This Month

What games will you be buying in April or to give it its proper name, "the month Treesmurf takes the lead in the Fantasy Critic League"

Short and snappy.
