Super Smash Bros. Ultimate‘s first DLC character, Piranha Plant, is coming very soon. The new fighter is slated to arrive this February, and unlike Persona 5’s Joker, it won’t be included as part of the game’s Fighters Pass. However, early adopters will be able to receive the character free of charge–but your time to get it is running out.

To receive Piranha Plant for free, you’ll need to register your copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on My Nintendo by January 31. This was done automatically if you purchased the game digitally through the Switch Eshop, but if you picked up a physical copy, you’ll need to register it by pressing the plus button while highlighting the game’s icon in the Switch menu, then selecting the My Nintendo Rewards option.

Once you’ve registered the game, you’ll receive an email containing a download code for Piranha Plant to the address linked to your My Nintendo account within 10 days. Redeem the code in the Switch Eshop and Piranha Plant will automatically be added to your game once it launches. You’ll have until 11:59 PM PT on June 30 to redeem the code. If you miss the cutoff date, Piranha Plant will also be offered as paid DLC separate from the Fighters Pass.

Nintendo has still yet to announce exactly when Piranha Plant will arrive, but the character is scheduled to release sometime in February. We got a brief look at its unique fighting style during the final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct last November. As in Mario’s platforming games, it’s able to spit poison and spiked balls at opponents, while its Final Smash summons Petey Piranha.

Beyond Piranha Plant, Nintendo will release five other DLC characters for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the first of whom will be the aforementioned Joker. Each fighter will be released individually alongside a new stage and multiple music tracks for $6, but players can get all five at a discounted price through the $25 Fighters Pass.

As promised, Nintendo showcased a variety of new games on the way to Switch this year during its latest Indie Highlights video. In all, the company spotlighted nine new indie titles for the hybrid console, including a few surprise releases that are available to download right now.

The biggest surprise of the presentation was the announcement of SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech, the newest game in Image & Form’s genre-spanning series. Unlike the recent SteamWorld Dig 2, SteamWorld Quest is a steampunk-fantasy RPG in which players select cards to perform attacks. No release date has been announced, but the game is slated to arrive first on Switch later this year.

Nintendo also announced a release date for Wargroove, the Advance Wars-style turn-based strategy game from Stardew Valley publisher Chucklefish. After suffering multiple delays, the title is finally scheduled to arrive on Switch on February 1, and those who have been eagerly awaiting its release can now pre-order it from the Eshop.

While those two titles may still be on the horizon, a handful of new games are available to download now from the Switch Eshop, including the ridiculous Goat Simulator: The GOATY, the stylish 2D co-op sidescroller Unruly Heroes, and the Bridge Constructor-like construction game When Ski Lifts Go Wrong.

Other titles we got a look at during the presentation included Chucklefish’s atmospheric platformer, Inmost, the unique rhythm metal shooter Double Kick Heroes, and the 2D action RPG CrossCode. You can see the full list of games showcased during the Indie Highlights video and their release windows below.

• Double Kick Heroes – Summer 2019
• When Ski Lifts Go Wrong — Out now
• Forager — Coming Soon
• Goat Simulator: The GOATY — Out now

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.
