In what may seem like a bit of a strange place to start, Capcom has released the first of a series of character introduction videos for Street Fighter V and the first character being introduced is Ken Masters. The two minute long video serves as a way to show off many of Ken’s new moves and V-Triggers as well as a bit of story info about him and why you should play as him.
You can check out the video below and as for the game itself, Street Fighter V is set to be released on the PlayStation 4 and PC on February 16th.
We learned a few weeks ago when Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir would be released in North America by Atlus USA and even saw an English trailer for the game earlier this week and now gamers in Europe now know when they can expect to play the title. NIS America has announced that they will be releasing Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir physially and digitally in June for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita.
Those in Europe looking to pick up the PlayStation 4 exclusive “Storybook Edition,” which contains a copy of the game, 64-page hardcover art book, a potion recipe t-shirt, a collectible metal slipcase, Alice and Socrates art print, and a premium box featuring the game’s fantastic artwork, will be able to do so either through Amazon or GAME.
It looks like XSEED Games had just a little bit more news for Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale than the features trailer they released yesterday. I say that because they have released a second trailer for the game and this time around the focus happens to be on a setting the North American release date for the game for March 1st.
As for gamers in Europe, the title will be released digitally sometime in the first quarter of 2016 but for now they can still check out the announcement trailer containing new English gameplay footage for Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale below.
After announcing a whole slew of new Pokemon for the roster, it looks like Nintendo and Bandai Namco want to get potential players accustomed to the way that the controls in Pokken Tournament will work when the title is released on the Wii U worldwide on March 18th.
To do so they will be releasing a series of demo videos showing off how to activate certain Pokemon moves. This first video focuses on showing off how Pikachu and Lucario’s special moves can be activated on the GamePad as well as a special move called a “Resonance Burst” that buffs up the Pokemon and allows for a powerful Burst Attack to be unleashed.
Big fans of the Uncharted series will be happy to hear that Sony is going to be selling a special Limited Edition Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End PlayStation 4 bundle when the game is released on April 27th.

Those looking to pick up the Limited edition Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End PlayStation 4 bundle will be able to do so in Australia for the price of $579.95 AUS. You can take a better look at the contents in the little video below.
In what may seem a bit strange considering the game doesn’t offer a standard multiplayer mode but one where actions taken by players will have an affect on others playing the game, EA has announced that they will be holding a closed beta for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst before they plan on releasing the title on May 24th.
This serves as both a way to work out the bugs of such a mode and also a way for players to try out the game before it is actually released, though at the moment EA has not specifically detailed what the closed beta will actually contain. That being said, you can sign up for the beta here while a brand new story trailer for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst has also been released and can be found below.
