RPGs of the Week: 7 Day Survival Edition

Well, it's Monday. And while that means back to the office/school for most, it also means a new set of RPGs going on sale.

This week's offerings are 100% Japanese, so North American and European gamers will probably continue to feel a little left out today.

EDIT: Apparently Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall (a PC-based MMO) comes out this week in North America. I've updated the list. Thanks to theultimatelifewrecker for the tip!

The following titles are shipping to retailers this week (February 12 - 16, 2009):

North America
Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall - Grigon, Majesco - PC

Japan
Akumajou Dracula: Gallery of Labyrinth (Konami the Best) - Konami - Nintendo DS
Fallout 3 - Bethesda Softworks - PlayStation 3
Makai Senki Disgaea 3 (The Best) - Nippon Ichi - PlayStation 3
Megami Ibunroku: Devil Survivor - Atlus - Nintendo DS

Europe
(none)

Though North America and Europe are still on RPG sabbatical, Japan scores Atlus' first DS MegaTen title, Devil Survivor, as well as the PS3 version of Fallout 3. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin and Disgaea 3 both get budget re-releases as well.

I'll be giving Devil Survivor a shot, but nothing else really steals the show for me. How about you?
