So it's only <em>kind of</em> the only retail game this month.<br /><br />Things are a bit busier on the 3DS, with the arrival of the <em>Etrian Odyssey IV</em> demo and the Virtual Console release of <em>Mega Man 2</em>, the best Mega Man game.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/07/new-nintendo-eshop-releases-kens-rage-2-mega-man-2-etrian-od/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>New Nintendo eShop releases: Ken's Rage 2, Mega Man 2, Etrian Odyssey 4 demo</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/07/new-nintendo-eshop-releases-kens-rage-2-mega-man-2-etrian-od/">New Nintendo eShop releases: Ken's Rage 2, Mega Man 2, Etrian Odyssey 4 demo</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 07 Feb 2013 14:15:00 EST.

Ken will unleash some of that extra rage upon North America on February 5, on Xbox 360 and as a PSN download for PS3. There will be a Wii U version later, as well, dividing Kenshiro's endless fount of fury across two screens.<br /><br /><em>Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires</em>, another recent announcement by Tecmo Koei, will also be <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/27/dynasty-warriors-7-empires-marches-into-na-feb-19-europe-feb/">PSN exclusive</a> in North America. Tecmo Koei updated the North American release date today: it'll actually be out Feb. 26.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/28/fist-of-the-north-star-kens-rage-2-unleashed-feb-5/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 unleashed Feb. 5</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/28/fist-of-the-north-star-kens-rage-2-unleashed-feb-5/">Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 unleashed Feb. 5</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 28 Nov 2012 23:00:00 EST.

The <em>Yakuza 5</em> "Emblem Edition" (above) features gold emblems of the virtual crime families featured in the series around the edges of the 250GB system, and a gold controller to match, along with a special themed USB drive. It's due in Japan December 6.<br /><br />The <em>Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2</em> "Legend Edition" has character art in white along the periphery of the black system, with a controller that is supposed to feature a Big Dipper design, but which looks a lot like it's been pooped on by birds. It'll be released on December 20.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/02/yakuza-5-and-fist-of-the-north-star-inspire-interesting-ps3/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Yakuza 5 and Fist of the North Star inspire ... interesting PS3 special editions</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/02/yakuza-5-and-fist-of-the-north-star-inspire-interesting-ps3/">Yakuza 5 and Fist of the North Star inspire ... interesting PS3 special editions</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 02 Oct 2012 09:45:00 EST.
