RPGs of the Week: Spectrobes Edition

You may be wondering why the headlining title of this edition of RPGs of the Week is Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals. Well, that is simple: its the only RPG coming out this week!

Blame TGS or what have you, but for whatever reason, there is absolutely nothing (besides Spectrobes, that is) hitting retailers around the world this week (October 6-10, 2008).

Check out the sobering truth below:

North America
Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals - Jupiter, Disney - Nintendo DS
Shining Force II - Sega - WVC

Japan
(None)

Europe
(None)

EDIT: Ah, just found out that Genesis classic Shining Force II is hitting the Virtual Console today. I guess that's good news?

With all the RPGs due out this month, you sure wouldn't guess it from this week's lineup. I'm gonna stick with the "everyone is at TGS and totally forgot to release RPGs this week" rationale for this one.

Anything (read "Spectrobes") worth your money this week?
