Because 2016 is just right around the corner!


Action/Platformer

Kill the Plumber

Release date: January 1

Ever felt like taking revenge on a certain genocidal maintenance worker of the Italian persuasion? As a parody of Super Mario Bros., the game gives you an army of bad guys and tasks you with killing its mustachioed do-gooder by any means necessary. Impale him on a spike? Crush him as flat as a pancake? Trick him into jumping off a ledge? Part action platformer, part puzzle game, Kill the Plumber is all fun. And, as the very first new game of 2016, it's a great way to start the new year.

Cobalt

Release date: February

In the side-scrolling platformer Cobalt, you play as a cute robot who has a knack for using his awesome weapons to shoot bad guys and turning them into scrap heap. He can also do rolls, use bullet time, and throw a mean punch. It certainly looks action-packed!

Mighty No. 9

Release date: February 9

From the creator of Mega Man is Mighty No. 9, a colorful and challenging 3D side-scrolling action platformer. You play as Beck, a diminutive robot with an arm cannon packing a powerful punch.

This should be a treat for fans of both the Mega Man franchise and action games alike!
