Wow that's a lot of stuff.
AWAY and the newest Castlevania are looking quite attractive for the DS this week, while PSP owners should be excited to get their hands on the remake of the original Star Ocean.
PS3 owners who missed the Eternal Sonata boat over a year ago can now hop onboard, while 360 owners will be lining up out the door for Fable II (which is why I'll wait for day 2).
Japan gets a metric ton of Square Enix DS reprints, as well as what might be the last notible RPG on the PS2, Devil Summoner 2. They also score the new Castlevania, along with the visual novel-inspired Kimi no Yuusha for DS, and Garnet Chronicle for the PSP, the spiritual successor to Astonishia Story.
Whoa. I'll be getting Fable II, AWAY, and Castlevania. What about you?

Castlevania looks pretty cool, but I need to go back and finish up Portrait of Ruin first. I'm also intrigued by Fable II even though I don't usually go for WRPGs... I think I'll add that to my list of games to pick up whenever I finally get around to getting a 360.
Yeah, Ecclesia looks pretty sweet. I also loved Portrait of Ruin (my personal favorite in the series so far), so I'm hoping the new one is awesome.
I just picked up Fable II last night. I generally don't like WRPGs either, but Fable II is so far pretty cool. I completely lost track of time while playing it, which is usually a good sign. However, I've heard that if you just do the story, it's pretty short.
