January is almost over and February will be here soon, and that means Netflix subscribers have a whole new slew of movies, TV, and originals to choose from. Sadly, it also means a bunch of stuff is leaving the service as well. Starting on February 1, subscribers will find plenty of new content to binge as Netflix starts dropping new stuff.

Starting on the first of the month, Netflix will release the first three American Pie movies. The early-00s series was the most successful comedic franchise during that time. In addition, Jaws, Jaws 2, Jaws 3, and Jaws: The Revenge will be available, so you can cuddle up to that special someone to watch a great white shark eat a bunch of beach-goers–and some people at an underwater aquarium.

As far as original programming goes, there are a couple of key dates to keep in mind. On Valentine’s Day (February 14), comedic actor Ken Jeong drops his first comedy special, “You Complete Me, Ho.” Jeong returns to stand-up in this special and looks back on how he was a doctor and transitioned into comedy. Additionally, on February 15, The Umbrella Academy comes to the service. Based on the comic book series of the same name, the show follows sibilings who are reunited after their father’s death and learn they have extraordinary powers.

Sadly, there are a few great selections leaving the service in February, so you’ll want to watch them soon before they disappear. Black Dynamite, Clerks, Children of Men, The Big Lebowski, and Shaun of the Dead all leave Netflix on February 1, and later in the month, you can say goodbye to Cabin Fever (2/2) and Piranha (2/20).

Below, you’ll find everything coming and leaving Netflix for February. Make sure to check back to GameSpot with weekly updates for newly arriving shows and see what’s in store for Hulu and Amazon Prime as well.

GameStop has rolled out its latest set of weekly deals, and this time it’s heavily marking down recent Ubisoft games. Far Cry 5, The Crew 2, Just Dance 2019, and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey are all discounted. In fact, at $15, the price for Far Cry 5 is even lower than the recent Ubisoft franchise sale on Xbox One. The older but still going strong Rainbow Six Siege is also reduced, if you’ve been looking for an opportunity to hop into one of Ubisoft’s most successful live games.

In non-Ubisoft deals, Hitman 2 and Battlefield 5 are both going for $30, and Just Cause 4 has already been reduced to $40. If you’re more in a sporting mood you can pick up FIFA 19 and NHL 19 for $40, or NBA Live 19 and WWE 2K19 for $30.

Other deals include cheap prices on deluxe editions, so you can get a game plus its bonus content for a song. Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 Deluxe Edition is $30, and Valkyria Chronicles 4 Memoirs from Battle Edition for Nintendo Switch is $60, down from a whopping $100. Sometimes waiting pays off.

The weekly circular ad also touts a 2 for $20 deal on pre-owned games under $15, which includes some big names you may have missed like Black Ops 3 and Mortal Kombat X. And of course the retailer is touting that there’s still time to pre-order Kingdom Hearts 3 and receive a fabric poster as a bonus. The store is also offering 25% off Kingdom Hearts collectibles.

Check below for the highlights or read the weekly circular. Offers in the circular are valid through January 29, while the Ubisoft deals may expire earlier.

During an indie showcase, Nintendo debuted a new game from Image & Form coming first to Nintendo Switch. SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech is a card-RPG hybrid set to hit this year.

The brief look at gameplay shows a traditional RPG battle interface, but with cards lining the bottom to serve as attacks. A treasure chest gives off loads of loot in the form of cards, and a closer look shows names like Intimidating Shout, Hot Iron, and Kilovolt. The announcement boasts a selection of more than 100 cards and the series’ wacky humor.

The look of the game is obviously inspired by fantasy tropes, including armored knights, swords, and even a mechanized dragon. Image & Form noted that a fantasy RPG has been among its top requests from fans. The SteamWorld series has become known for applying its steampunk aesthetic to different settings and genres. So far it’s explored an Old West motif in the two SteamWorld Dig games and SteamWorld Tower Defense, and a sci-fi space setting in SteamWorld Heist. This adds a third genre to the series’ flexible rotation.

The latest in the series is SteamWorld Dig 2, an action-platformer with shades of the classic Dig Dug. Like in the first game, you ventured further underground finding valuable loot for upgrades, while unlocking mysteries of a high-tech civilization.

“Dig 2 manages to not only be an exceptional successor, but a great adventure in its own right,” critic Matt Espineli wrote in GameSpot’s review. “Where the first game was a diamond in the rough, Dig 2 is a polished jewel.”

Update: Nintendo’s broadcast has wrapped up, but you can rewatch the entire thing below. It ran for just under 17 minutes and revealed a variety of new games, such as SteamWorld Quest, along with release dates for ones we already knew about, like the Advance Wars-esque strategy game Wargroove (February 1). We also learned that three games–Goat Simulator: The GOATY, When Ski Lifts Go Wrong, and Unruly Heroes are all out now on the Switch Eshop. The original story follows.

Nintendo’s Direct-style Indie Highlights presentation is happening today, bringing fresh news on all the independent games coming to Switch in 2019. The broadcast is scheduled to begin at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM GMT (1 AM AET on January 24), and you can watch it right here on GameSpot below.

Nintendo hasn’t revealed how long the indie highlight stream will be, but the company’s previous indie-focused presentations have typically run for about 20 minutes. Likewise, Nintendo has not discussed which games will be shown off, but we already know of a number of indie games coming to Switch this year, including Windjammers 2 and Inti Creates’ Dragon Marked for Death.

The indie highlights broadcast marks the first presentation Nintendo is airing in 2019. The company typically streams a big Nintendo Direct sometime in January to outline some of its new releases in the first part of the year, but so far no proper Direct presentation has been scheduled for this month.

Nintendo’s previous indie presentations have carried a “Nindies” label, and have given us a glimpse of some great games, such as TowerFall: Ascension, Into the Breach, and Transistor. Here’s hoping we get to see some similarly stellar games today.
