As if that's not retro enough, some recognizable costumes from past eras are returning, and players are also getting a new character.

The news that the Monster Hunter series will be coming to the Nintendo Switch was big enough on its own, but it doesn't stop there. To celebrate the launch of Monster Hunter XX, Nintendo will be releasing a limited edition console.

If you were a fan of the original Mega Man Legacy Collection, then good news: it looks like a follow-up anthology has made a stop at the Korean Game Rating Board. Of course, since these are just re-releases of classic Mega Man games, it was a safe assumption that a second one would pop up sooner rather than later. Still, this pass through the Korean Game Rating Board suggests that the game is close to becoming a reality.

Capcom is really taking retro to heart. After it released the Mega Man Classic collection for PC and consoles, it brought it to mobile, though with less positive reception. It then recently announced that it will also be bringing four other classic arcade games to mobile, starting with top-down shooter 1942. Now it is going back full circle to PCs and consoles. Starting next month, those old enough to remember or the young who wish to experience those good old days will be able to turn back time to play six classic games based on old-school Disney TV afternoon shows.

Seeing the chance to introduce a new, younger generation of gamers to the golden age of the classics, not to mention capitalize on older gamers trying to relive their glory days, game publishers are pushing these older games to mobile, with mixed results. Square Enix has ported most of its Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest titles to mobile which is still positively received despite the price tag.

Unfazed, Capcom is going to try again, giving four old-school arcade games the same treatment as Mega Man.

Street Fighter 5 fans have something to look forward for at the end of the month, as Capcom has announced the game's newest DLC fighter. Kolin will be joining the roster as the second character in Season 2, and she'll become available on the final day of February. She uses the Russian martial arts style of Systema along with ice-themed powers, so perhaps it's appropriate that Capcom is releasing her while we're still knee-deep in winter here in the US.
