Coming up: The games of January 2019

Our upcoming release feature returns with a shockingly decent month that stars a few major launches like Resident Evil 2 and New Super Mario Bros.

New year… new games?

Traditionally, January and even February are slow months for new game releases. Traditionally. It seems though, from the last few years, that things are changing. The first quarter is getting to be home for those games that skipped the Holidays (for one reason or another), but are still major names/franchises.

Take this month for instance. Christmas was weeks ago and the “big” release season is even further in the rear view. Yet there are some pretty big launches on the horizon. Chief among those is Resident Evil 2, the remake.

One of Capcom’s biggest games in years, the remake of the most popular RE title is looking flat-out amazing. Add to that Kingdom Hearts III, New Super Mario Bros Deluxe, and a few others and you’ve got a great month of gaming. There aren’t a lot of games coming out in the remainder of January, but there are some gems.
