Next week will bring our 2011 Game of the Year, The Witcher 2 to Xbox 360, and other new releases including Trials Evolution, Botanicula, and the PC editions of Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet and Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP.

Quality wins over quantity in next week's lineup of new releases, with games including IGF 2012 Grand Prize winner Fez, pretty throwback dungeon crawler Legend of Grimrock, Skullgirls, and the free-to-play Tribes: Ascend.

What's coming out next week? Oh, you know, Duke Nukem Forever and Ever, Final Fantasy XIII-3: Reckoning - Retribution, Milo & Kate, and Elite 4. Ha ha not really, April Fool's! Now you look stupid!

Ah, nostalgia! Remember that old thing? From olden times? You know, Mad Dog McCree. The live-action laserdisc 'classic' cowboy showdown game is being dragged out and dusted off once again, this time for a downloadable release on Nintendo 3DS.

Next weeks' new releases include Journey, Silent Hill: Downpour, the new FIFA Street, Yakuza: Dead Souls, Ridge Racer for Vita, Tales of Graces F, and heaps more.

Though the first anniversary of 3DS's US launch isn't until March 27, Nintendo is already boasting about its first-year hardware sales. 4.5 million of the shiny handhelds were sold in the US alone, almost doubling the original DS's first year performance.

Next week will bring something very rare and special--a new PS2 game. Other new releases include Street Fighter X Tekken, I Am Alive, MLB 12: The Show, and something named Mass Effect 3--looks like some sort of sci-fi shooter-RPG to my eyes.

The second game in the 'Zero Escape' series kicked off by Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors has been confirmed for a western release. Known as Zennin Shiboudesu in Japan, it's coming to Vita and 3DS in North America as Virtue's Last Reward.

Next week's another busy one, with Microsoft Flight, Binary Domain, SSX, PC editions of Rayman Origins and Vessel, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2, and heaps more all launching.

Next week brings the official launch of the PlayStation Vita, so we're getting a handful of extra Vita games too. We'll also see the release of FPS reboot Syndicate, wacky 'em up Asura's Wrath, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D, and more.

Somewhat later than planned, premium streaming video thing Hulu Plus is now available on the Wii. The app's on the Wii Shop Channel for those who subscribe to the $7.99 monthly plan, but if you're not a member, you can give it a go for free.

Sneaking fans eyeing up Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D will be able to download the demo for the Nintendo 3DS port of Metal Gear Solid 3 from tomorrow, ahead of its launch next week.
