All April Titles
Both April 2016 and 2017 were clearly impressive months, especially for a period that’s usually seen as being slow. A big RPG headlined both months, with fans and newcomers both taking to it well. 2017 was definitely stronger for indie games with big releases like What Remains of Edith Finch and Little Nightmares. Ultimately, however, releases like Persona 5 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe just barely put 2017 on top.
2016 definitely had more releases in terms of quantity, and some pretty stellar titles, but 2017 comes out on top in terms of overall quality and selection. There really was something on offer for everyone, including Switch fans hungry for new titles. Now only time will tell if 2018 can keep up the same trend.
