This Week In Games: The Nintendo Switch Rises

If you were waiting for a big week in games, then wait no longer. This week is absolutely stacked with new releases, particularly for Nintendo Switch owners. Monster Hunter Rise is probably the one most people have been waiting for.

If you missed the demo earlier this month, now is your chance to try out all the big-ass weapons yourself. Monster Hunter Rise will be released on Switch on March 26, but if you need a refresher on what to expect, we’ve got you covered.

Also on the menu for Switch owners is Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, which is the wholesome farming simulator you need to fill the Animal Crossing-shaped void in your life.
