NIOH 2: The Souls-like action RPG inspired by Japanese mythology already cut a fine figure on the PS4, and in February you can finally expect the remaster for PlayStation 5 and PC, which shines in all-new splendor thanks to 4K and 120 FPS.

SUPER MARIO 3D WORLD + BOWSER'S FURY: Honestly? The Wii U spin-off is one of our favorite games featuring the iconic plumber, and it's about damn time for a remake on the Nintendo Switch. A new world is also included, and a four-player co-op mode is also included. Release date: February 12. (Credit: Nintendo)
PERSONA 5 STRIKERS: Take the best JRPG of the last few years and put it in a new, action-heavy guise. Will it be good? It'll be damn good! And colorful. And flashy. Oh, and good, of course! Release: February 23. (Credit: Atlus)
BRAVELY DEFAULT 2: The wonderfully old-school JRPG from 2013 finally gets a successor. But this time not for the handheld, but on Nintendo Switch. My God, what a month for Nintendo fans.
