Happy Presidents Day, Happy Valentine's Day, and Happy Cuban Sandwich Day! Okay, I made that last one up but I had the day off and a Cuban Sandwich sounds pretty damn good. The big news this week was the Deadpool movie. We do have a couple of new releases this weeks, but it's nothing to get your panties in a twist over. This week features a massive collaborative effort from the Japanese and another Street Fighter sequels for the Sony crowd. Enjoy the day off, amigo.
Project X Zone 2
Release Date: February 16
Platform: 3DS
So three of the big Japanese devs have joined forces to bring their most recognizable characters: Capcom, Sega, and Bandai-Namco have all contributed some of their most iconic characters into this tactical rpg...as well as a couple from Nintendo. Japanese gamers have been playing this one since November, but the rest of the world gets this 3DS portable on Tuesday.
Street Fighter V
Release Date: February 16
Platforms: PS4, PC
Same old fighter with some new tweaks, most noticeably a V-Trigger system. Some early complaints about the game indicate that it may be missing content compared to earlier entries in the series, like an arcade mode. So it's the same old shit, with some new shit, that's missing some old shit. Sony and PC fighters can decipher that for us when the game breaks Tuesday.
