RPGs of the Week: Europe Wins Edition

Happy Monday everyone. I hope your weekends were full of dragon slaying and princess saving.

This new week (March 9 - 13, 2009) brings with it a couple of RPGs that you may or may not care about for each of the big 3 regions. Check them out below:

North America
Avalon Code - Matrix, Marvelous, XSEED - Nintendo DS
Mana Khemia: Student Alliance - Gust, NIS America - PSP

Japan
Annie no Atelier: Sera Shima no Renkinjutsushi - Gust - Nintendo DS
Phantom Brave Wii - Nippon Ichi - Nintendo Wii

Europe
Enchanted Folk and the School of Wizardry - Konami - Nintendo DS
Puzzle Quest: Galactrix - Infinite Interactice, D3 - Nintendo DS, PC
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 - Atlus, Square Enix - PlayStation 2
Suikoden Teirkreis - Konami - Nintendo DS

North America bags Marvelous' Avalon Code and the PSP port of Mana Khemia (after a noticeable delay).

Japan gets Atelier Annie and the cleverly named Phantom Brave Wii (guess which platform it's for - no peeking!).

Europe, for an interesting change of pace, leads the charge this week by nabbing the PC version of the new Puzzle Quest, Suikoden Tierkreis, and Konami's little kid magic school RPG before anyone else! They also grab the Atlus' highly acclaimed Persona 4, with Square Enix handling the European localization.

For me, it's Atelier Annie all the way. I think I'll pass on just about everything else. What about you?
