LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - 5th April
From Traveller's Tales and Warner Bros., LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga looks like it could be a dream come true for fans of the series, letting players journey through all nine Star Wars saga films in LEGO's traditional blocky – and funny – form.
Pre-ordering the game provides you with day-one access to a special Trooper Pack, too, so you might want to jump on this one early.
MLB The Show 22 - 5th April
On the very same day we have the launch of MLB The Show 22, which brings back the beloved Diamond Dynasty mode and also includes an all-new Mini Seasons mode. Whether you're wanting to play against your mates (cross-platform play is supported) or make your way through the Road to the Show career, it sounds like this could be a treat for baseball fans.
Nintendo Switch Sports - 29th April
On the 29th April, Nintendo's bringing back one of the most iconic series gaming has ever seen. That's right, Wii Sports has been reborn as Nintendo Switch Sports.
The game will include six sports at launch – Volleyball, Football, Bowling, Chambara, Badminton, and Tennis of course – with future updates adding more motion control options for football matches and a brand new sport, Golf.
Physical orders come with a Leg Strap accessory which lets you place a Joy-Con inside and really kick footballs. We're truly living in the future.
Two Point Campus - 17th May
[Update: Two Point Campus has been delayed until 9th August 2022].
The latest entry in Sega and Two Point Studios' simulation series is almost here, with Two Point Campus enrolling on Switch on 17th May. The game's said to be "jam-packed with new creative tools" that'll no doubt help you build the university of your dreams, with options to develop an entire outdoor campus environment complete with all sorts of teaching facilities, pathways, plants, and more.
We're big fans of Two Point Studios' previous titles and will certainly be checking out Two Point Campus when it launches next month. The Enrolment edition comes with fancy packaging, a campus map, a university prospectus and bonus DLC!

There are two insta-buys there. LEGO SW:TSS physical. Nintendo Switch Sports insta-download. Two Point Campus sounds quite interesting and it's part of a good series, so a probable insta-download there too.
Pretty quiet month for me and actually nothing decent until June with mario strikers and fire emblem warriors.
Just only now noticed you lost games from Asia with English subtitles which is going to save me a load of time and really helpful, so thank you for that 👍
Switch Sports is the only title I‘ll probably pick up, just not sure if I’ll get it right away. I know a lot of people are excited for Lego Star Wars so I hope that turns out well.
I did have Lego Star wars CE on pre-order from Game since Start of Janaury, but they have just cancelled it, because they did not have enough stock, they havent even emailed me to tell me, I can just see the money going out of my account and then returning.
Zombie army 4
House of the dead remake
And that’s it for me for April!
What the hell is King Leo...
I’m gonna grab both Circle Pad Pro XXXLs.
May is very empty, would be a good fit for Nintendo's E3 replacement given E3 is cancelled. As for April, I'm picking up Switch Sports.
No! None of this is coming!
You can't fool me, NintendoLife!
Wait, May's Mysteries?? I thought that must be a port at first but seems like it might actually be a sequel? That's really random, I only know of the original game because I vaguely remember it getting a brief review in ONM that basically just said it was a Professor Layton rip-off (though not a bad one iirc).
Oof. Crash Drive 3 has performance issues with poor frame rate, and I tend to be more forgiving of performance issues than some people. I deleted the game, no idea if that's been patched. I got it from japanese eshop around january with leftover money (500 yen = $5 USD).
Think the switch version of Tormented souls is out April 14 as well.
MLB The Show 22, Switch Sports, House of the Dead Remake, and Evil Dead The Game are ALL DAY 1 Purchases for me!!!
Already got SW, just need the day to be April 4 to be able to play it, and definitely, Switch Sports. Had a blast with the Wii game, this one it's a no brainer, shame it won't include a box, maybe in a future DLC?
Wallets safe for while this month
BlazBlue: Central Fiction Special Edition - One of the best games EVER!
Switch Sports is not in my wish list anymore. I did not like the DEMO. Old Kinect Sports has much better gameplay than this game. Wii sports Resort is far superior game.
