Now that the shortest month is over, it's time to look at the big games coming in March. This episode of New Releases includes some cute and cuddly Nintendo titles like Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn and Yoshi's Crafted World, but there are also some darker titles if that's what you're into--and that's not just a reference to The Division 2's Dark Zones. You can also draw your blade and slay demons in Devil May Cry 5 and battle Sengoku-era beasts in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
Devil May Cry 5 -- March 8
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC
The next chapter in the demon-slaying saga gives you three playable characters: the ever-popular Dante, the relative newcomer Nero, and a totally new character named V. Each has a different combat style, and as usual, you'll be rated on your performance in each stylish action battle. Oh, and Dante can fight with a straight-up motorcycle.

Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn -- March 8
Available on: 3DS
The first of the cutesy Nintendo games this month is actually an enhanced port. Kirby's Epic Yarn was a Wii title first, but the 3DS version includes new abilities and minigames you can play as Meta Knight and King Dedede. If you beat the original, you can try again in the harder Devilish Mode.

Tom Clancy's The Division 2 -- March 15
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC
Tom Clancy's The Division 2 is moving from New York City to Washington, DC. Survivors in the capitol must fight off bands of raiders, and you can do that in four-player co-op. You can also take on others in competitive multiplayer and suit up in your best gear to brave new raids and Dark Zones.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice -- March 22
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC
From Software brought us Dark Souls and Bloodborne, but Sekiro is something different. For one, everyone will play the same shinobi, who can grapple around the world with a special mechanical arm and actually revive after being killed. Sekiro also has no multiplayer, which means you'll be taking on tough bosses all by your lonesome.

Yoshi's Crafted World -- March 29
Available on: Switch
Kirby's world is spun from yarn, and Yoshi's is crafted out of cardboard. You can replay a level backwards to find secrets in what was once the stage's backdrop, and you can play the entire adventure with a friend by passing a Joy-Con. Yoshi himself can dress up in various cardboard costumes as he rides atop cars, planes, and other hand-crafted vehicles.
