RPGs of the Week: Only in Japan Edition

Welcome to another week of RPG releases.

....Or not. Really, there are only Japanese releases this week, and probably not even many Japanese releases that you would even care about.

The following RPGs are hitting shelves this week (January 26 - 30, 2009):

North America
(none)

Japan
Crystal Defenders R1 - Square Enix - WiiWare
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time - Square Enix - Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii
Harukanaru Toki no Naka de: Yume no Ukibashi Special - Koei - PlayStation 2
Maou to Odore! II: Change of the World - Catwalk - PC
Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 - Namco Bandai - PSP

Europe
(none)

Hmm. I suppose there might be some people looking forward to Echoes of Time. I'm not. Why Crystal Chronicles games even need the 'Final Fantasy' name attached to them remains a mystery to me. (Well, okay, I know that it's there so that the games will sell more, but still...)

Downloadable fans can be excited for the WiiWare port of Crystal Defenders, while fans of licensed PS2 games can get excited for another Harukanaru Toki no Naka de title. Oh, and there's that Tales of mash-up title for the PSP. And, yes, an RPG/H-game hybrid for the PC.

Phew. I can legitimately say I'm not jealous of Japan this week.
