RPGs of the Week: This is Embarrassing Edition

Welcome to another week of RPG releases. And hey, it happens to be the LAST week before E3 kicks off. Kind of snuck up on me this year, huh?

Take a look at the RPG releases for all major platforms and all major gaming regions hitting this week (May 25 - May 30, 2009):

North America
Crimson Gem Saga - IRONNOS, Atlus - PSP
Cross Edge - Compile Heart, NIS America - PlayStation 3

Japan
Final Fantasy - Square Enix - WVC
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days - h.a.n.d., Square Enix - Nintendo DS
Ougon no Kizuna - Jaleco - Nintendo Wii
Tacticslayer: Litinagard Senki - Ninja Studio, D3 - Nintendo DS
Witch Tale: Minarai Majo to 7-nin no Hime - Hit Maker, Nippon Ichi - Nintendo DS
Yuusha 30 - Marvelous - PSP

Europe
Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica - Gust, NIS Europe - PlayStation 2

North America gets Astonishia Story 2, otherwise known as Crimson Gem Saga, and the embarrassing crossover RPG Cross Edge.

Japan has a lot of new releases this week with Ougon no Kizuna for the Wii, Witch Tale, Tactislayer, and the new Kingdom Hearts for DS, and the indie-game-remake Yuusha 30 for the PSP. Oh, it looks like they also get yet another release of the original Final Fantasy for the Virtual Console. Just in case, y'know, you haven't bought it enough times yet.

Europe bags Gust's Ar Tonelico II. It's a decent game, but I hope the European localization is better than the poor rush job we got here in North America.

Anything looking sweet to you this week?
