New Releases highlights some of the hottest games releasing each week, and this episode has a whopping 23 games. Double Dragon & Kunio-kun Retro Brawler Bundle has 18 of them, and the Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle is another two-in-one package. They’re not the only re-releases coming this week either, as Hunt: Showdown comes to PS4 and Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition lands on Nintendo Switch. Meanwhile, the fighting game community gets a chance to throw down with Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r].

These Platinum Games cult classics launched 10 years ago, and they’re being bundled together on PS4 and Xbox One to celebrate. Those of you with a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X can even experience them in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. Seems like a good way to refresh yourself before we finally get Bayonetta 3.

Hunt: Showdown — February 18
Available on: PS4
For the uninitiated, Hunt tasks you with tracking down a monster on a large map–but you’re not alone. Whether you play solo or with a friend, any other player can turn their sights on you and end your hunt early. If your character dies, they’re gone forever, along with any gear they have equipped. What’s more, successfully slaying the monster puts a bounty on your head, sending all those other hunters after you.
