Release This: SSX, Binary Domain hit retail stateside

Gamasutra's regular round-up of worldwide video game releases, "Release This!", takes a look at every game title we know to be shipping to stores this week, in a custom compiled list. This week brings SSX, Binary Domain, Devil Survivor 2, and Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure to retailers in North America, while Europe gets Mario Party 9, among other notable titles. The following list covers all of the game software we know to be available -- across all platforms and regions -- for the week ending March 3rd, 2012. Games Released in the United States: EA Canada's snowboarding franchise SSX returns this week with a new title for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Originally revealed as the gritty SSX: Deadly Descents in 2010, the finished product is much lighter in tone, and sticks more closely to traditions set by earlier entries in the series. Sega's sci-fi third-person shooter Binary Domain and the DLC-bundled fighter Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition also hit both platforms this week. PlayStation 3 owners can expect to see a sequel to Idea Factory's game industry parody RPG Hyperdimension Neptunia, as IllFonic's arena FPS Nexuiz arrives as the third release in Microsoft's ongoing Xbox Live Arcade House Party promotion. Atlus' strategy-RPG Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 heads up this week's portable lineup, meanwhile, joined by Sega's 3DS rhythm-action game Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure.
