Life is Strange 2: Episode 2 – Rules, which we didn't like quite as much as Episode 1, has been out since January, and while we still have some time before Episode 3 hits, we have a release date: May 9. Along with that news comes word of release dates for rest of the season; The Life Is Strange Twitter page posted a road map for the final three episodes, and it looks like we might be waiting until the end of the year to find out the end to Daniel's story.
While you wait for Episode 3 in May, check out our review of The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, the standalone story that preceded Life is Strange 2.

Yesterday's surprise announcement that Cuphead is coming to the Nintendo Switch on April 18 further blew open the door to the growing relationship between Microsoft and Nintendo. While at GDC, we got a chance to speak with a group of "Nindies" alongside Nintendo's manager of publisher and developer relations Kirk Scott. During the discussion, Cuphead's co-creator Jared Moldenhauer jokingly ribbed Scott by letting the world know how badly he wants to see Cuphead and Mugman in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
"I’ve dreamed of Smash Bros," said Moldenhauer. "[Cuphead and Mugman] belong in there. So basically if fans want it, I couldn’t see how Nintendo wouldn’t want the fans to get what they wanted. I think they would because they support their fans a lot . . . So if Nintendo was keeping their fans happy, then I’d be more than pleased to make that the easiest transition. Just a piece of paper, we don’t need anything. You can have those characters make an appearance."
I asked which characters Moldenhauer would most like to see go up against Cuphead in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. "Maybe just Ice Climbers? Like a two versus two. I’ve been [playing] a lot of the NES mini, and it’s not my favorite game. That's why Ice Climbers came up because it’s like 'Well, that one isn’t fun,' so I kind of want to take those characters and then demolish them."

Battlefield V's long-delayed Firestorm mode arrives on March 25 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Firestorm is a 64-player battle royale mode that places heavy emphasis on vehicles that give players advantages on land, sea, and in air. The series' trademark destruction is also present, allowing players to knock down houses and drive through walls. Like most battle royale games, Firestorm offers just one map, which is 10 times larger than Battlefield V's Hamada.
As the mode's name implies, the world is on fire, and that blaze creates a constricting circle that brings opponents closer together. When you set foot in this world, you'll need to scour the terrain for weapons and gear, and hopefully coordinate with your teammates, who you can revive should they be knocked down. The trailer below does a nice job of selling the Battlefield experience we've come to expect, and teases a few twists for the battle royale genre that could give it a slightly different flavor than we've seen before. Here's hoping the delay ends up being worth the wait.

This week, Oculus detailed the release date and price for its updated VR headset tech, the Rift S. You can Read our impressions here. However, Oculus’s other headset – the Oculus Quest – solves one problem the Rift doesn’t: you no longer have to worry about tangling yourself up in cords.
The Quest was announced last year, but this week we had another chance to go hands-on with the Quest at a GDC event, and I walked away impressed by the Quest’s comfort and the level of performance. The Rift S might be capable of displaying more demanding games (since it’s tied to your PC gaming rig), but the all-in-one Quest isn’t a total pushover.
The Oculus Quest features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and provides a resolution of 1600x1440 per eye with a 72Hz refresh rate. The experiences I had on the Quest looked on par with most of the games on the VR market today. Oculus hasn’t announced all of the headset's 50 launch titles, but some of them include: Superhot VR, Dead and Buried II, Moss, Robo Recall, and, of course, Beat Saber.
