The middle of March heralds in a new wave of hot new releases, including some entries in a few long-running series. Final Fantasy releases used to be celebrated and endeared with every new one that came out. Final Fantasy: Type-0 hopes to recapture some of that nostalgic charm with one of the most mature and challenging entries in the role-playing series. Battlefield Hardline, once delayed from an October release, gives a new spin on the war saga by bringing the action close to home with a story focused on militarized cops versus robbers and criminals. If you’re in the mood for another type of role-playing game, The Awakened Fate Ultimatum might satisfy your craving for a light roguelike adventure (check out our review here!). Resident Evil: Revelations 2 releases its final episode on Tuesday, and if you’re like me, have been waiting for the retail disc version to release on the same day. Mario Party 10 makes its HD debut on the WiiU and brings with it amiibo support and another wave of the collectible figurines
