Battle monsters with bribes in Penny-Punching Princess, explore Skyrim in VR on PC, save a wizard and a world in two Simon The Sorcerer remasters, swing your way towards three royal gems in Sling Ming, and fight for simian freedom in Crisis On The Planet Of The Apes, all among upcoming video game releases for the week of April 2.
Penny-Punching Princess
For Nintendo Switch
Armed with a powerful fist and an equally useful calculator, the Princess (or her zombie relative Isabella) sets out to avenge the king's death, armed with a massive fist and a powerful set of calculator skills, crossing a land in which enemies can be influenced by coin and traps disarmed with cash, and where the God of Money will come down on your side as long as the pay is good.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR
From April 3
For Windows PC
Released on the PlayStation 4's PSVR in November 2017, this reimagining of Bethesda's iconic fantasy action adventure is positioned to take advantage of more powerful PC setups. That said, while Skyrim VR does not support community mods at launch, basic Skyrim can be modded into a VR-compatible configuration, though existing owners will require a bit of patience. Here, Bethesda takes responsibility for all that set-up.
