Also out in the last month, what will supposedly be the final installment to Inti Creates' excellent Blaster Master Zero trilogy; the long-awaited Xbox (Series X) version of Microsoft's newest flight simulator game; and the fan-appreciated motion-control-optional HD remaster of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. "Only the possibility of you can change our fate." Jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 35 days.
Well, it's been a pretty good month for the Switch. As you may notice below, all but two of this month's featured releases can be found on Nintendo's dual purpose dynamo. One of the bigger titles, which came out just this week, is Square Enix's Neo: The World Ends With You. A sequel to their popular 2008 DS orginal, Neo features more great music from the same composer, a new cast of characters, and superior gameplay and three-dimensional graphics.

Here we are again with another great month of gaming releases to tell you about. The big title this week seems to be Scarlet Nexus, an anime-infused "brain punk" action RPG, somewhat similar to Bandai Namco's own Tales series (and brought to you by some of the very same people). If you like stylish, high-quality animation and a pretty unique and fun-looking combat system, this could be just the ticket.
Also out in the last month, a new installment to Nintendo's long-running Mario Golf franchise; an HD remake of the incredible 1986 Sega Master System classic, Alex Kidd in Miracle World; and the long-awaited release of one of the most anticipated games of the year, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. "We are all connected." Jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 28 days. Another month, another Notable New Releases post. This week saw the re-release of a 2004 PlayStation 2 title, newly remastered for current platforms, of course. Shin Megami Tensei III is another enjoyable entry in the popular Atlus RPG universe. While the third entry in the main SMT series, the PS2 release was actually the first to see a western release. Of course, there have been several released since, both in the main and the spin-off series. But, having the option to experience this visually-upgraded classic, especially for those who may have missed out on it the first time around, is most welcome indeed.
Also out in the last month, the original Mass Effect trilogy, now remastered for newer consoles; the eighth numbered installment to the so-long-running-it's-scary Resident Evil series; and Returnal, a new Housemarque title that may quite possibly be the first must-play true exclusive for the PlayStation 5. The world has been swallowed by chaos. Jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 35 days. Hello again, gamers! Considering the slow, sporadic release schedule often associated with this time of the year, we hope you'll forgive us for not having any new release posts to offer for the past couple months. We have a pretty solid dozen for you now though, starting with this week's most notable release, Nier: Replicant. Essentially a remake of the somewhat-unremarkable 2010 original, this new version of Nier features the welcome additions of improved graphics and gameplay, as well as new story content that provides a plot link to the very popular 2017 series entry, Nier: Automata.
Also out in the last two months, the fourth installment to Falcom's excellent Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel series; a console release of the critically-acclaimed 2019 PC hit, Disco Elysium; and a brand new Switch-exclusive (for now) entry in Capcom's beloved Monster Hunter franchise. (Re-)experience a tale of love and despair, then jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 56 days. Welcome back to the New Gaming Releases. This week saw the release of at least a couple of titles that should be worth checking out. The most noteworthy of which is an all new Switch-exclusive remake of Capcom's infamously challenging 1980s arcade hit, Ghosts 'n Goblins. While we wouldn't necessarily have expected to see a game like this come out until a bit closer to Halloween, we aren't exactly going to complain about getting it earlier on in the year.
Also out in the last two and a half months, a very cool-looking action roguelike called Curse of the Dead Gods; the Switch rerelease of one of our favorite family games from the Wii U (now with additional bonus content); and the newest, and ninth installment to the long running Ys series, Monstrum Nox. Watch out for things that go bump in the knight, then jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 77 days. Well, our Best Games of 2020 list is done now so it's time to move ahead to 2021. There's a lot to look forward to over the next 11 months (provided the release dates hold). All in all, it's looking to be another solid year for gaming. Read on for a list of 12 selected highlights that you should be able to play before the year's end.
It's so nice to be out of 2020. Between the pandemic and a multitude of various other reasons, it was surely a year most people would sooner forget. But that being said, 2020 wasn't actually a total loss. Despite several titles having to see their release dates pushed back due to the challenges of working through social distancing and quarantines, it was overall a pretty fantastic year for video games. Don't believe us? Well, just read on and see for yourself as we recap 12 of the very brightest spots in an otherwise pretty dark year.
Well, CD Projekt delayed it all they could, but apparently they weren't willing to go beyond 2020. So as a result, Cyberpunk 2077 is finally out, for better or for worse. Though between high-end PC graphics cards being nearly as impossible to find as the new video game consoles, and Cyberpunk being nearly unplayable on the consoles it was actually designed for, perhaps a delay into 2021 wouldn't have been the worst thing in the world. That being said, If you do happen to be one of the very lucky few who was able to somehow secure a high-end graphics card and/or next-gen game console, word is that Cyberpunk is a pretty decent trip, so long as you don't mind a few bugs. Hopefully, CD Projekt will use the coming months to fix these aforementioned issues that really should have been addressed before release.
Also out in the last four months, a sequel to the 2017 puzzle game mash-up, Puyo Puyo Tetris; a slew of fantastic new GOG releases; and a follow-up to 2014's Hyrule Warriors. Night City changes every body. Jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 28 days. Notable New Gaming Releases: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and More...11/14/2020 As of this week, the next round of the console wars is finally in full swing with the launch of both Sony's brand new PlayStation 5 as well as Microsoft's own Xbox Series X. Both consoles have several shiny new games to show off as well (though nothing truly exclusive as of yet). Probably the biggest standout though is going to be Spider-Man: Miles Morales for the PS4/5. Semi-sequel to Insomniac's outstanding 2018 Spider-Man game, this new entry lets you continue the adventures as Peter Parker's new web-slinging protege.
Also out in the last few days to weeks, a brand new spin-off adventure from Sony's wildly popular LittleBigPlanet franchise; another new installment in the long-running Dirt series; and Switch ports of both of the ridiculously crazy No More Heroes Wii titles (amongst others). Be greater. Be yourself. Then jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 7-49 days. |
