Games in March: Wrestling, dragons and Princess Peach

March is shaping up to be another exciting month for gamers, but before we dive into the fun, let's address the misprint mishaps of last month — Final Fantasy and Persona fans, we feel your pain.

It's rare that a video game suffers from a disc misprint, but two top-tier games? Final Fantasy VII Rebirth had its game and data discs switched, and Persona 3 Reload players who want to play the game in English are forced to download the digital version, as the physical copy has mistakenly been printed only in Chinese.

Now, on to the main event! Here are our favourite video games releasing this month:

Release date: March 8

You can finally play as new WWE Superstars Cody Rhodes and CM Punk in the latest version of this annual release, but there are plenty more features like Ambulance Matches and Backstage Brawls. Fans (like myself) will love the showcase mode, as you’ll be able to re-live 21 of the greatest Wrestlemania matches. Don’t forget to try the improved GM Mode too, where you’ll able to book your own WWE show.

What better game to play in this Lunar Year of the Dragon! Like the original Capcom classic, you play as an Arisen, a hero whose heart is stolen by a powerful dragon. You can truly shape a character to your liking, with endless customisation (from how they look to their skill set), as you traverse a world four times bigger compared to the one in the first Dragon's Dogma.
