Myself this month I will be checking out likely anything that comes to Game Pass, and then LEGO Star Wars which after being picked three years in a row on Fantasy Critic is coming out, will be getting this on Switch.

Sticking with Switch a few days later, Chrono Cross which does arrive on everything, just something about this sort of game feels is more of a Switch title.

The 12th should be 13th really, is 13 Sentinels which I've said before is a game that was planned for VITA and now the Switch is the next best thing to that.

Ending the month with Nintendo Switch Sports, meaning a few games I'm picking up, but nothing I'd say is super outstanding. Hey, I've got a bit of Switchlog now and stuff like Tunic just arrived on Game Pass, meaning plenty to play before getting Kirby.

What was the consensus on Wii Sports, did people enjoy the beta?

I'll probably pass on everything this month as I still have Triangle Strategy to pick up at some point, as well as plenty of things on gamepass.

I'm struggling to come up with a list of 4 games for this month's: What's the Score? Does anybody have any ideas? Wii Sports will make the cut but not sure what else.

Umm LEGO Star Wars, MLB as who doesn't love sports month, Chrono Cross will it hold up, Switch Sports .

Yeah Lego Star Wars is definitely in. I could be persuaded on Chrono Cross, but I'd really prefer not to put a baseball game in there.

Maybe we should make Buska review Angry Alligator and we all have to guess his score

Of course my list is what listed on sites like Amazon, Nintendo eShop combined but I believe Chinatown Detective Agency for instance is April.

That they're are more titles, just those aren't available to preorder/listed on sites. Might be worth looking on wiki or fantasy, or opencritic to see if they've got anything listed interesting.

I enjoyed Switch Sports so I'll probably pick it up and play it a few times.
I'll play Lego Star Wars eventually, probably when I have a way to co-op with my brother.

I'm up for this!

Switch Sports Baybeeeeee!

That's all I'll probably buy this month, I already have it pre-ordered and paid for so it'll leave me room for maybe finishing some games rather than buying more (I'll definitely buy more).

Chubby Cat sounds great, but otherwise there's not a lot I'm interested in this month. I didn't like Wii Sports that much so Switch Sport ain't all that appealing. Chrono Cross is a maybe, 13 Sentinels is definitely one I'll be keeping my eye on, aaaaaaand that's it! Yet to see any tempting indie games coming out of this year: maybe April will be the month?

Switch Sports for sure, maybe Lego Star Wars, though I'd rather wait for that to drop in price. Bit of a disappointing month in total though, I could've used some big releases as I've not got much planned...

Play some N64 games mate.

I’ve got Nintendo Switch Sports and Taito Milestones ordered. I might wind up cancelling that Taito collection, at £30 it seems a bit stingy for a 2022 retro compilation of truly prehistoric and not-even-that-popular games.

I’m off work for the first nineteen days of April. Unless Kirby and The Forgotten Land turns out to be some sort of ninety hour epic, I think I’ll use a bit of that time to trim down the backlog a bit.

Ooh, what's Taito milestones?

Oh, I've just had a look, what the bloody hell? Here's a complication of all the Taito games you don't really like. Bloody hell.

In news that will delight Cappa, I've been keeping such a close eye on this that I've got it pre-ordered. It's been a long time since VanillaWare and I last crossed paths, and that time's still in my top 25 games ever.

Hope you're having a cracking Easter and have some great name ideas for May games going up next Sunday. It is another dire month (the Q2 lull) for new releases, is an odd horror game or two if you want to work that into a title.

I'd Like Two Point (Campus) Out That It's May
