My Thoughts: Jas and I were talking about Outriders in the PlayStation thread even though I played the demo on Xbox (Multiformat thread, guys) and I thought it was okay, like if I saw for £10 in 6 months time then yeah sure I'd give it ago, but it's launching straight into Game Pass because of this I know people will be playing it meaning 3 Player CO-OP will be possible for instance.

I'm interested in the Judgement Remaster, yet I've got an unplayed Yakuza LAD then if I wanted to Yakuza 0-6 also on Xbox via Game Pass. I know Judgement or seems to be standalone which I like the idea off, then it's £35 which doesn't seem bad for a PS5 or XSX game, just I need to finish LAD first before buying more of these games.

A remaster or by Fantasy Critic a remake (Darn CW picking it in the Pod of War one) I will be picking up is NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139…, now I know what you're thinking I've not finished Automata, least in this case Replicant does become before Automata.

We round out the month with New Pokémon Snap which I sort want to see how it reviews to see how long it is seeing its £50, but I know it's a Nintendo first party game meaning it won't go down in price for ages if at all. That I may as well just get right away on launch day, one other game on the 30th is Returnal which I do want but no PS5 at the moment plus if I thought £50 was too much for New Pokémon Snap then £70 for Returnal is just way too much.


1st
Dungeon and Puzzles eShop

6th
Star Wars Republic Commando eShop

8th
ISLAND eShop

15th
Dragon Audit eShop
SaGa Frontier Remastered PSN, eShop

20th
MLB The Show 21 PSN, XBL

29th
Castaway Paradise eShop

30th
Retro-Bit Prism HDMI Adapter for GameCube

My Thoughts: Not a lot here, MLB The Show 21 is interesting from a historical point of view as it be a PlayStation Studios game published on Xbox. I could see some things coming out of the three events happening last week of March which has an Xbox Indie Event showing over 100 games bound to be something from it that's its out now or very soon, I would guess 12 Minutes.

Think you've missed Oddworld Soulstorm which is April 6th, I'll be getting that as it's a PS Plus game but I was interested anyway, New n' Tasty was a superbly made remake so I have no doubt this will be too.

Other than that it's all about the 30th, gonna need to pluck some money from somewhere as I want both Pokémon Snap and Returnal but the price thing is bothering me too. Snap is fine as I've seen loads of outlets selling that for £40 but I'm not a fan of £70 games and would ideally like to vote with my wallet by going somewhere selling it cheaper, even £60 will do I guess.

Oddworld isn't up on PSN, hence why it's not listed same with anything that might be April like that.

New Pokemon Snap!

I'm glad it's at the end of the month

Same as OR, Snap is the only thing tickling my fancy and I can't even guarantee I'll be ready for something that isn't Monster Hunter that early. . .

Nothing there tickles my pickle, although I will recommend Pure Pool on Switch. It's a great pool/snooker game - probably the best one available. There's enough trophies/badges and challenges to justify a lack of a career mode (which nobody has done well) and being portable makes it great for having a quick frame.

Cheers for saying about Pure Pool - I'll keep an eye out for that in the sales. 

It's going to be New Pokemon Snap and those two Evercade cartridges for me next month, but something random/unexpected/cheap always comes up.

I'm really interested in Outriders as a turn your brain off co-op shooter but it's launching too close to MH Rise & I think I'll give the new pokemon snap a go as well.

It's crossplay from day one too.

POKÉMON SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSNAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPAHHHHH

And I'll pick up Humankind over on the PC if it reviews well enough.

Humankind is going to review amazing and keep me in the lead, not smurf.

Darn its the Pod of War League I've got it, but yeah want it to review well still.

I'm not sure if I'll be buying anything new.  I'm just finishing a big game, about to jump into another big game, and have another few in my backlog.  Besides the ones I know about, I just want a few indies to limoncello sorbet things a bit.  

Besides: I didn't like Pokémon Snap as much as every other bastard. The new one looks lovely, but I'm not sure the actual gameplay will be for me.  Score attacks, you know.

Next Sunday May will be going up which includes anticipated horror game, a few remasters including a NES game to Switch with a few other things mixed in.

Name ideas like always, guys.

May Phillip Rest In Peace (lol not really)

Sounds like you have the perfect title already.

May the force be with these games or not because Lego Star Wars got delayed innit.

Witch of these Mayny games will you be begging to step on your game shelf.

FaMaycom Detective Club And Other Games

Can't believe it's so soon!  Actually quite excited for this.

Shin Maygami Tensmay III Nocturne HD Remayster

WORDPLAY (WORDMAY)

Some Resi themed ones from me...

I May Destroy You. But I'd Rather You Dominate Me.
Lady Dimitrescu actually just cross-dressing Dan Petrescu. On stilts.

I think I'm gonna pick up Snap, seems like something the missus and kids will all enjoy.

Maybe I can complete DQXI and play some more Monster Hunter before the month is out.

Not picking up Resi for the missus and kids?

That's it, that's the title.

I like Smurfs, but I guess the one two people want is the one I should go for.

Wow mas, way to slag me off you bitch.

Rum & mas right now.

Only if I get to be Pat!
