Remember Red and Blue Rescue Team on the Game Boy Advance? Well this Switch re-release includes everything in those dungeon crawlers, coated in a new watercolor-like art style.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps -- March 11
Available on: Xbox One, PC
While it sports the same gorgeous look as Ori and the Blind Forest, this sequel is changing things up--and not just by taking the adventure beyond the forest itself. The first game had manual checkpoints, but this one features auto-saves. Where the first game offered linear upgrades, the sequel instead lets you purchase powers using collectible shards. And yes, Ori will be available on Game Pass on launch day.

Nioh 2 -- March 13
Available on: PS4
This is actually a prequel to Nioh, so instead of playing the samurai William Adams, you'll create your own custom character. You'll still have to change your stance and manage your stamina when taking on big bosses, but fortunately, you can do so with friends in a three-player co-op. Moreover, you can really turn into a yokai if you collect the monster's Soul Core.
Other insurance:
- Nioh 2 embraces its darker side while improving soul-like action in the right way
- Nioh 2 pre-order instructions: Bonus, Special Edition, Release Date and more (PS4)
MLB The Show 20 -- March 17
Available on: PS4
MLB The Show 19 may include a small Alliance, but it does not have the same player characteristics. The game this year really has the participation of small Union players. And because you're probably wondering which professionals are getting noticed, this year's cover athlete is the Chicago Cubs' Javier "El Mago" Bâez.
Other insurance:
- The biggest game change coming MLB The Show 20
- MLB The Show 20 Pre-order instructions: Release date, Anniversary version, Bonus and more
Available on: Switch
There's almost too much new stuff to talk about with the latest Animal Crossing outing. This one is set on an island--one you can completely terraform using the new Nook Phone. There are also new animal pals to meet, seasonal updates to enjoy, and full customization of your Villager from the start.

Doom Eternal -- March 20
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Stadia
Combat in 2016's Doom was frantic enough on its own, but the sequel is taking things to the next level with a grappling hook and flamethrower. There's also Battlemode, an asymmetrical multiplayer experience where one Doomslayer takes on two player-controlled demons. Expect tons of demons in the campaign too, including the new Marauder and Doom Hunter.
