It's the second week of February, which means the first Valentines Day of the decade is less than a week away. However, before that happens, and before Sonic the Hedgehog releases in theaters, we got some new and noteworthy Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One games releasing over the next few days. More specifically, this week players will dare to dream, jump back into one of the best games of 2019, step into the shoes of the Dragon of Dojima, beat up Ryu for the 10,000th time, and play a game called Snack World with a suspicious lack of snacks.

As always, if you want a complete lowdown on the rundown of every single game dropping this week on every single video game platform in existence, well click off this link, because you're in the wrong saloon. However, if you just want to know what new games are releasing this week that are worthy taking a peep at, well, that's exactly what we have. In addition to brand new releases, there's also a round-up of ports at the bottom of the article. Further, while remasters, remakes, and even meaty DLC are included, early access releases are not, nor is DLC that gives your horse shiny armor or two sneezes amount of content. Lastly, while a Google Stadia or mobile game will sneak their way on here occasionally, this article is largely focused on traditional console and PC games.
