With the Code in Box games on Switch, Square Enix actually has 7 games coming out in the month of March, of which a few I would like.

For myself I'm looking at picking up the Switch games of Triangle Strategy, Chocobo GP, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Rune Factory 5 then a few Game Pass things like FAR: Changing Tides and Weird West.

Outside those it be play the Mario Kart 8 DLC, go see The Batman, and then I'll keep an eye on WWE 2K22, Strangers of Paradise, Ghostwire Tokyo etc to maybe go on my pickup when I finish a PS5XSX game list.

What about you guys?

Nothing immediately jumps out as must buy for me, which is fine since I just got a ps5 with Elden Ring.

Jas paying the big PS5 bucks for that 60fps over 30fps on his PS4.

Kirby!

Didn't know about Submerged: Hidden Depths until now, really liked the original so I'm up for that.

Not sure why Rider's Republic is there when it came out months ago?

I reckon Elex II should be good too but I still have the vast majority of the original to play

Submerged Hidden Depths actually been out for ages but on Stadia only, that games media all like let's look at this new game with a preview, even though can find complete playthroughs of it.

Riders Republic is getting a re-release, why it is on here, for like £39.99 or something, there's always a reason.

Kirby also.  Looks ace.  Also, obviously the MK8D Booster Pack.  Don't know if I'll pick up Rune Factory 5 now or down the line, but that's an almost-definite at some point.  I liked the look of Aztech Forgotten Gods in the Indie Showcase when they announced it, but we've seen nothing of it since.

Also: Alpaca Ball "All-Stars" needs to do a crossover and include the star of Superola, a.k.a. the C**tllama.

Nah that's not the reason though I do pvp a fair bit in Souls games so it'll be worth it for that.

The only thing I'll be buying Day One is Kirbs. Probably a nice palette cleanser after Elden Ring. Excited for Batman and Mario Kart, 'natch, and whenever I finally get around to Disco Elysium it'll be on Switch.

Not crossplay or very least crossgen? If not that sucks in 2022 and you need a PS5 because that's where most players going to be.

I think Jas just means that in multiplayer that 60fps might actually make a difference more so than in the main story.

Yeah make a difference more so in multiplayer but I was originally pointing that one of the few differences between the PS4 and PS5 version the 60fps mode. Which myself would prefer to play game like Elden Ring in 60fps over 30fps being more action based.

Forgot to add I'm getting Disco Elysium physical, finally time to play it!

Bloodborne was in 30fps and it's one of the best games of all time.
Dark Souls was in about 10fps and I still love it!

To be fair, if it was a simple either/ or I'd prefer the 60fps, but it's not wort buying a machine for in my book.

It isn't but really that's all the PS5 and Series X really offers (Xbox least has Game Pass as a bit of selling point but got cheap Series S for it) imo as someone who owns both basically since launch. Why I've compared in past to getting a new phone or graphics card, same games just run better.

Bingo!

It gave it a certain charm especially the Skeletons in the catacombs which were big Jason & the Argonauts stop-motion vibes.

Disco, baby!

But for me I'm all about that Mario kart dlc.

Yass!

I've never played a Souls game, but





I do like skeleton dancing .gifs.

After Hades, Dark Souls on your list Balla?

I think Balla picked it up when he had a PS3?
Honestly, I don't think I could handle the month or so of GNamer after Balla actively tried to play DS, so I'm happy for that can of Solaires to stay locked tight.

I only want him to play if my own selfish reasons, that when he doesn't like it and Hades (he sort of liked some it), all will forget about me and a certain game.

Nah, the difference is that there are a fair few people who bounce off Souls whereas you are literally the only person on Earth with your weird brain anomaly.

Sterling famously doesn't like IT and few now also, but do think that's look at me I don't like the popular game aren't I cool for those people.

Will be playing FAR and Shadow Warrior for free definitely.
Keeping an eye on Babylon, Ghostwire & Stranger, but not convinced enough to order before reviews drop
Triangle, Rune Factorya and Kirby feel like games I should want, but I'm really not into Switch at the moment so might hang fire. Tempted to get an OLED as mine is practically unplayable in handheld mode now, so I'll save them for when I do.
I'll inevitably play Wonderlands for cheap one day.
