My Thoughts: Things might change with some of these games because sure they may have gone gold but physical versions need to be shipped etc but hopefully, all will be okay.
What I'm looking forward to is Res Evil 3, I wasn't the biggest fan of last years Res Evil 2 but RE3 Classic is my favourite Res Evil that I got to play this.
Not long after that is another remake Final Fantasy VII which I said elsewhere I've been waiting for since 2005 because of the PS3 tech demo, advent children, the PS3 special consoles etc that I did think we would have gotten this years ago not now on PS4 but exciting times also I'm on holiday for it (this might change because work will be busy).
That's about it as Disaster Report 4 was a maybe but I played the demo and wasn't that keen, the other maybe is Sakura Wars which is late in the month that if I'm done with FFVIIR and SW reviews well, I could see me getting. Trials of Mana is another remake coming out which might be good but I think I'd sooner have Sakura Wars as might not quite AAA JRPG then Mana.
Ohh Finding Teddy interests me from a collectors standpoint but no other reason.

My Thoughts Strange month for films with Cinemas shut, not a lot to list. I was tempted to list things coming out sooner like Onward digitally but that seems to be changing all the time and most seem to be coming in March such as Birds of Prey and Sonic.
What is out though is Star Wars, I was looking at the SAGA on 4K but it's £200 because it's 27 discs but it is a lot of money for only three great films. I will try to check out the Scorpion film.
Game-wise, not a lot maybe Stacks on Stacks for Stadia and Minecraft Dungeons if it comes out as it is listed on th Xbox page as April but no actual date and not up on any other systems page even though it's coming to the eShop and PSN as well, maybe those are later but I thought it was day and date on them all.
I also don't get why the Predator game is digital-only as its £35 and big'ish IP.
What about you guys?

Oh wow, Moving Out's this coming month! I am definitely up for playing that in co-op with The Lady. Otherwise my suggested thread title remains decidedly apropos.

Do you have a serious answer Muss?
Well, I can't help that the 20+ Switch games aren't that good, maybe Mana would be but I hear you have a lot of RPG's on the go Balla.
I know my thread title is rubbish but no one was fitting a game or easter into the title, also at the moment surely forgetting about your worries and playing games kinda works.

The serious answer is that I'm saving up as much money as I can because of this pandemic.
I already bought Animal Crossing this month, and a couple of board games for some offline fun under a potential lockdown. Got to look after the pennies and all that. I'll be picking things up on sale only for a while.

I hear you, I'm trying to save for a place of my own. Long story if you remember me talking about bristol but after talking to Dad, and people I know such as Jay in similar that looking at buying something.
That going on what I'm looking at this month before now I would have just bought Sakura Wars without hesitation but now my plan is to spend no more then £100 a month of games. That might sound a lot but it's basically all I buy (Now if I see retro I might go mad lol) and my only vice I guess you'd say as EofGiz seemed to think that was a lot but I know what some people spend on things like drugs and the avg people spend on booze/smokes according to the internet which I don't do any of them.
With very little outgoings, I've been saving a decent amount so far with this plan and my savings in June/July should be good even though shares are a tad all over the place at the moment.

Have you finished your Dreamcast collection, Mas? £100 a month would polish that off quickly.
I've held fire on getting a Switch Lite, in order to get a PROPA Switch at the end of April. I'm hoping there will be a Nintendo Direct between now and then, to determine what games I pick up. Basically, if Xenoblade is later in the year, I'll get Odyssey.
I did buy a stack of batteries today, as I'm working from home for the next 4 weeks and have a whole load of Wii game to get through

I've got about 6 games left, so yeah be like one game a month where I'd sooner buy some new games with that. However I did say if I were to see Cannon Spike in the wild, I would buy it.

I'd ideally like to buy FFVII:R, but I'm a bit concerned about my financial situation in the long term over the next few months with everything that's going on. But if it looks feasible and I can find it at around £40 somewhere, then I'll give it a go. I've not had to buy any petrol this month anyway, so that's saved me about £50 that I'd normally spend looking at it that way...

I pre-ordered for £42 but Square Enix put a statement out a few days ago saying it's still coming April 10th but physical could be delayed. I had a email from ShopTo last night which was just a general customer one, saying thing's are continuing like normal for now.
I do know people who ordered Animal Crossing from Amazon had a bit of a delay as unlike others they didn't send out early.
That digital might be the most viable option going forward for most games which then means RRP but you can get around by using different nations store fronts and buying codes to get prices down a bit.

I really want to get Disaster Report 4 but realistically with Animal Crossing it's just not happening
Sakura Wars is similar as one I'm watching - the wii game was good. Trials of Mana is probably worth a play too.

Easy Allies have a preview up with Sakura Wars and it sounds like something I would like but got Persona 5R to play which likely do the social stuff better and both games are similar, that I don't know if them both so close.
I will also add Gears Tactics is out in April for PC which Jay, I've believe has in Fantasy Critic. Also something called Someday You'll Return is coming out which might interest horror fans.

I have FF pre ordered but that's in store so that might go to the wayside with everything going on. Well up for Resident Evil of course but I'm aiming to play through that with friends so again will have to wait for all this to blow over. Trials of Mana looks the business, never played the series but very tempted to add that to the collection of RPGs I'll never get around to.

is your FF instore in-store or an online store? As I would have thought physical would be an issue either way or digital but my Persona 5 Royal was shipped early form Amazon to make sure it made launch and some people are getting FFVII show up already from somewhere that has them.

They say they're working on a solution, I reckon they might just let me buy online or refund the deposit perhaps, fine either way I guess as I'll want to pick it up for sure.

I know it's only April 2nd but we already know Iron Man VR, The Last of Us Part 2 both meant to be out in May have been delayed indefinitely due to getting into are hands basically.
Minecraft Dungeons was due out in April but working from home has pushed it into May, this is a digital release so putting on a disc isn't an issue. Then Wasteland 3 which was planned for May has been pushed to August due to what's going on.
Things are going to keep changing but you would think being able to get a disc into our hands will affect more than just Sony and other games development will be impacted (reports of what's going on will delay other games).
That when it comes to May's games and maybe months after that I might put physical and digital together as might not be a whole lot in both sections.
Edit
I've preordered Sakura Wars which doesn't come out till late April and looking at what is planned for May at the minute which is not a lot, that even though I'm not 100% convinced on SW, I can see it being maybe one of the last big'ish physical games that I'm going to take a punt and I'm likely going to sell Res Evil 3 on eBay which will pay for it.
